My server is running I-Mail
V5.08. I use web messaging at work and Outlook Express
(5.00.2314.1300) at home to access my mail via the IMAP
protocol. I have endured synchronization problems with my six
Outlook folders for quite some time. The UID Fetch problems
begin to appear when one deletes all messages from one or more folders ...
and/or other conditions which simply are too varied to bother trying to
elaborate ... everything seems to be involved in critical client/server timning
(synchronization, again).
Anyway, there may be light at the end of the
tunnel, folks. This evening I ran Windows Update and
there was an Internet Explorer 5.01 update available.
Well, not to feel left out in the coffee-room discussions tomorrow morning, I
bit the bullet and went for the 5.01 update. When
performing this update I selected the full update option so I could review
exactly what would be updated and there was an option to update OUTLOOK
EXPRESS! Needless to say, I DID select that
option.
One hour and forty-five minutes later, after my
system finally finished updating itself, I was able to execute Outlook Express
and the version number is now 5.00.2919.6600 ... Hey, Microsoft!!!, what
did you fix??? Anyway, three of my folders had UID Fetch
errors left over from operations with the previous version of Outlook
Express ----- guess what ---- the new Outlook Express
corrected my UID Fetch problems.
After my Outlook Express upgrade I sent several
test messages to myself and moved them around in my IMAP folders and viola
....... my UID problems went away! Apparently Microsoft has
been working on IMAP sychronization problems :-) It's
probably too soon to get out the chips and dip and start a party but I'm having
a real good time here.
1. I hope this version of Outlook
Express really fixes the UID problem
2. I hope your experiences are
the same
