I've seen a couple problems with various IMAP clients, and I'm wondering if other people have seen these problems and whether or not there are solutions for any of them. If the problems are with the clients, and not just an oversight on my part, I'll send off bug reports to the authors instead (well, except for Outlook...).
---- Outlook Express 5/6 ---------------- Outlook frequently (but inconsistently) complains that "The server has unexpectedly closed the connection" when switching folders. It doesn't seem to affect the actual operation of Outlook, as everything seems to work, but having that dialog box pop every time one switches folders is pretty irritating (and disconcerting for those unaccustomed to MS glitches). Nothing shows up in the Courier logs when this happens. Surely other people have seen this problem. Have have you handled it? ---- Mutt 1.3.24 ---------------------- First, Mutt doesn't seem to be able to handle subdirectories properly. Using the configuration option: set imap_delim_chars="/." doesn't seem to help, and causes Mutt to get confused about what the INBOX is. If anyone has Mutt handling subdirectories properly, please send a message. I'd like to compare configuration options. Second, Mutt has problems with defining the spoolfile to be the IMAP server. I'd like to start up Mutt to talk directly to my primary IMAP server, but I'm not sure how to go about setting the options. Currently I'm using: set spoolfile=~/mail/INBOX set folder='imaps://orion/' but this requires manually switching to the IMAP folder. If I set spoolfile='imaps://orion/', Mutt gets confused about which folder to open. If anyone has Mutt working properly, would you mind posting the relevant .muttrc setting? ---- Mozilla 0.9.7 --------------------- Mozilla doesn't seem to close IMAP folders automatically, nor can I find any way of closing them manually. This is a problem when I limit the number of open folders on the server to a low number, because then Mozilla quickly starts complaining that it could not open a connection to the server. Does anyone know of a way to either (1) tell Mozilla to close folders automatically to make room for new ones, or (2) close a folder manually? The only thing I've seen work so far is completely shutting down Mozilla. ----------------------------------------- Thanks in advance for any information. I'll send a summary of any personal replies back to the list (senders will remain anonymous). m. _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
