The Bat seems to have inferior IMAP support. The whole point of IMAP
is that the mailboxes are stored on the server, so that you see the
same mailboxes and messages regardless of what client you use. The
problem here is The Bat seems to ignore any message in an IMAP box
which is marked "read".

No you are not understanding what I am saying - it is NOT treating it
as a local box, its treating it like POP. If I load Pine on the server
and select "INBOX", I see both new AND old messages. When I load up

Funny, this is why I
Hi Steve,
Yes you are right - I skipped over one word you wrote and it changed
the whole meaning. I do appologize. From what I had gathered from
the email, I thought you meant the only clients that properly do IMAP
is The Bat, Pine, and Outlook Express.
But in reality we both agree that The
