I have played with Outlook as well as OE and they seem to share most of
their IMAP implementation. Issue No. 4 that I mentioned definitely
happens with Outlook. If memory serves me correctly, the other three
also happen with Outlook.
Damned Windows software....Mozilla Mail runs under Linux so I guess it
gets some benefit from that.

P.S We do not experience those problems as shown in the linked screen
shot. Try the CVS. :-)

Two things:
1) Anyone have any experience using Outlook as opposed to OE? I have
played with it a little and it seems to work better than OE.
2) I am seeing another problem, and I have posted it before with a link
to a screen capture of OE, but kmail has the same issue. The problem is
that the from field displayes "minutes:seconds@" where the minutes and
seconds are taken from the date displayed. Weird huh... This is with
DBMail 1.1, have not tried it with CVS.
Here agains is a link to the screen capture.

It's stable...but...
If your clients use Outlook Express (for whatever reason) the following
limitations apply.
I am using a very recent CVS checkout of the DBMail source
1. Some messages will have their sender's name appear in quotes (").
This screws up sorting
2. Mailboxes don't get automatic update notification (Cyrus does this
properly, DBMail doesn't).
3. Messages saved to a server-side Drafts folder are not editable, thus
aren't really drafts
4. Messages copied to the IMAP server using Outlook Express have the
date displayed in the header view to the date when the message was moved
onto the server, not the original message stored date.
All 4 of the above problems are causing mild problems for my clients. I
haven't had a chance to sit down and go through the code to fix any of
these problems though. At the moment, it seems everyone on the list is
more interested in new features and the lead up to DBMail 2.0 (With
funky shared folder support!). Note, none of the above seem to happen
with Mozilla Mail, KMail or Evolution or any webmail system I've set up.
Hope this is of some help.
All debate welcome!
Regards,
Chris

I'm getting ready to install dbmail for a client. I am wondering what
the general consensus is about using dbmail from CVS right now. Is it
stable? I know there have been a lot of changes since 1.1.
I use dbmail 1.1 and it works but I have some issues where email
addresses don't display correct with kmail and OE.
