Oh well, it's the first I've had...
Anyway, the thread where I'm asking for ideas is here: http://www.emailaddresses.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=2827 The major bugs Nigel is referring to are http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27002 and http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105385 . 27002 has a duplicate at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117917 . The duplicate is marked as a blocker targeted for 1.0, which is good, but the original bug 27002 is untargeted... very confusing... 105385 isn't targeted either, which is odd because it means that pretty much the only IMAP server that works right is UW IMAP, and because the entire fix is simply to stop appending the '/' character to the folder path... If this bug isn't targeted for 1.0 then Moz 1.0 will major bugs when used with most IMAP servers. The description of 117917 isn't right, BTW, because Moz does understand NAMESPACE in that it correctly identifies the Personal and Shared name spaces, but then it ignores them when choosing the Sent and Drafts folders. Other than that things are looking pretty good. Offline sync support still isn't as good as OE in some ways (e.g. no way I can see to specify which subset of folders are synced or checked for new messages), and there's still little problems with the editor (both TEXTAREAs in Gecko and the compose window in Mailnews) and accessibility, but overall Moz is getting pretty close to being the officially recommended IMAP client at FastMail.FM. We'll see how 1.0 looks, I guess... -- jh
