Hi, I'm new to the list and I think bincimap looks very promising, but...

   When Mozilla mail first checks my mail, the only folder that shows up
is INBOX.  So, Mozilla tries to activate my filters as it brings my mail
down, and it can't move any mail because it thinks none of the folders
exist.  Now, if I collapse and expand the INBOX, my folders appear, and
every subsequent attempt to filter mail is successful.


I havn't seen that particular problem, but I have seen other odd
*features* with the BINC, Maildir, Mozilla combination:
. MIME Attachments can just appear as PART.1, .2, etc. in Mozilla (with
  courier, there is no such problem)

Yeah, this IS (was) my major problem. It appears, when there is a "nonstandard" attachment (this is a MS Office file, a pdf, etc, not a jpeg), which is bigger than 30kB. I think it's a bug in Mozilla, since I have no problems with the attachments with Squirrelwebmail.


I've found a workaround: in Mozilla, enter this URL: <about:config>

look for "mail.imap.mime_parts_on_demand" and set it to "false"
and/or
look for "mail.imap.mime_parts_on_demand_threshold" and set it to a high enough number, so attachments this large get downloaded, i set it to "3000000".


Since I have a "fax archive" folder with lot's of faxes sent to me by email converted to pdf files, this was a major problem for me.


. Undeletable messages can appear. (never seen them with courier)
. Timestamps can go mad. (also not seen in courier)


Strange: in Mozilla, the dates of the mails are correct, but with Squirrelwebmail, I have for all mails the same date (this is the date when I moved all mails from my old IMAP server to the bincimap server).


Another problem is, that sometimes when I'm going to check my mails, bincimap sometimes hangs sometimes for minutes, so I can't check mail, whether with Mozilla, nor with Sqirrelmail.

Another Mozilla issue is, when I'm sending mail, Mozilla says "mail was sent, but couldn't be copied to the sent folder", but when I cancel this messsage, the copy *is* in the sent folder.
