I wonder if this means to have Mozilla parse the mime data instead of the IMAP server. I'd like to dig more into this, but can't reproduce the problem. Guess I'll have to start using Mozilla more :). >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. >> .

This makes sense to me. Moving/copying mails to a Maildir folder delegates a new internaldate to all messages. The Date header remains intact. Squirrelmail most likely uses internaldate, and those are reset on a COPY or APPEND. It's not Binc's fault, it's a thing with Maildir. :/ You will see the same thing with Courier-IMAP and Dovecot and any other Maildir client. >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. I know the 1.1.0 release has some of bugs in it and I'm fixing them right now. It won't be long until 1.1.1 is out, which fixes the stuff that I know of. - APPEND and RENAME are messed up for Maildir++. - Some clients will not let you subscribe to subfolders Also, I finally added hierarchical rename. And I spent most of my time today helping friends out with converting their configs after the hierarchy delimiter changed in 1.1.0.
