still
offers an IMAP-like copy/delete/expunge paradigm for those that still
want
to do it this way) which will never have a problem if the disk quota is
full.
But there are no clients on Mac or windows that support SMAP ..(not that i know of anyways) ..so what are we supposed to do ?
I wouldn't expect any, at this stage in the game.
I suppose that if you have a favorite open source mail client, you could
pass along upstream some mild comments how useful you find some of the
SMAP-specific particulars, enumerated at http://www.courier-mta.org/cone/.
Perhaps you like the native UTF-8 folder names, and no longer having keep
track of low-level server details, like the folder hierarchy separator. Or,
opening a folder with thousands of messages takes only a second, or two;
since the client doesn't need to download the entire's folder index, only
what's changed since the last time the folder was opened. Etc...
I'll pass it along ...
