I was subscribed under my old domain and I hadn't switched this mailing list yet to the new one.

I figured that out perusing the properties as I was looking for where to check of the self signed a certificate button. It's good to know that's all I need to do. > ESJ> which leads me to the next question which is why do you ask users > what format > ESJ> mailbox you want them to use? > > Why not? well, because it will confuse them. Most of the people on this mailing list know how to use mail clients and let a lot of the oddities roll off of their backs (usually). However, if we would like mahogany to be used by the average Jane and Joe sixpack, you need to hide the knobs and gages. > In ideal world, yes.

I think it's safe to say that all users care about is the ability to import and export mailboxes. As long as that happens, I do not think they would care what you use. I think I'm probably most sensitive about MBX mailboxes because I had a client which was having terrible performance problems with mbox (no surprise there) but after converting them to mbx, we ran into some other problems where mailboxes became corrupted and I had to throw away email because there was no way to fix it. Fortunately, none of the e-mail was important but my customer was not happy and has instructed me to find an alternative. I'm now looking at dovecot and maildir but the conversion process is a tricky one. > Unfortunately nobody has managed to write a working maildir driver so > far. Several of them exist but they're all buggy. interesting. One would think that people could collaborate and debug one library for everyone to use. > No, it won't do it unless you ask for it explicitly in the "New Mail" > page > of the folder properties dialog. as you can see, I'm using it now. I think the discussion about what to do for the minimal editor should also included a rewrap command because this full line, one character wrapping it is less than easily readable. On the other hand, I'm easily ignored since I'm not writing code for this project yet. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Mahogany-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mahogany-users
