Interesting what you do there. Isn't the laptop connectable to the Internet? Why don't you connect to the server and do the synchronisation? I'm wondering if the cache files have the appropriate names. You're doing something there that's pretty unusual for any IMAP user. The essence of IMAP is not having to do what you're doing. You can have the same thing happening on multiple machines without having to copy from one to the other. Anyway, you can enjoy yourself with it. > You're obviously right, because that's exactly what happens.

I was hoping I could assist, but I see that I'm not. > Can I "DeleteDeleted" somewhere else than in "Maintenance"? Deleting deleted is the same as compressing/expunging. > I'm using v3.02 (productive), where the bug about the non-closing CC > doesn't take place.

TB!'s IMAP has undergone a lot of changes since. I actually am using it now, when I just didn't use it then. > I'm accustomed to "polling" since I started FidoNet.

The disconnect mode should be for exceptional circumstances and not a routine. Routine disconnect operations are best dealt with using POP3. -- -= Allie M.=- Using TB! v3.5.30 System Specs: http://www.landscreek.net/sysspecs.htm =-=-= ...People are always available for work in the past tense. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.30 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
