Actually, mutt's poor handling of IMAP is what brought me to isync. You'll get disconnected from all your servers, and no new mail checking will occur, while you're reading or composing a message, and you have to tell mutt manually to reconnect or else it won't. Additionally, at least for gmail's "IMAP", I got disconnected pretty regularly for no reason that I could discern other than "gmail's IMAP isn't and it hates you". One could argue that having to configure automatic reconnects is part of what makes mutt wonderful, but I personally cannot see the point of having to tell my MUA to do the thing I want it to do in the first place. There are other issues as well, some addressed by the new mail handling work for mutt 1.6. That, and have you actually *read* mutt's IMAP code? It's a twisty maze of little codepaths, all spaghetti... I have had much more enjoyable experiences with mutt since I took away its ability to connect to any kind of network. -- Chris Nehren ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
