No. Mail can be received during this process, but the view is not updated. > Have you confirmed, those new (but not yet displayed) messages haven't > reached your IMAP server during the last interval? If you're asking if I haven't made an assumption that mail is on the IMAP server when it wasn't, then, no. I have confirmed that mail is in the folder, but is not displaying. As an example, when I checked my mail this morning, one folder showed 1 message. When I selected it, the message count immediately jumped to 16, most of which had arrived overnight. > Now, that is a statement to give folks a shot of motivation, isn't it? > :-/ Yes. I'm sorry about that - it's frustrating not being able to have it work the way I would like. However, I have tried KMail this afternoon, and over a short period, see the same behaviour. That said, as noted previously, Mozilla works fine (I've been using Moz on Windows 2000 for quite a while, and recently switched to RH 9). I'd be happy to provide any debug information, if someone told me what would be of help.
