Hi, I've never figured out the attraction of IMAP, maybe just because I'm focused on speed so much. Using both in several programs and via webmail I continue to prefer POP3 from both a user and server perspective. (Although anymore I have to run IMAP for webmail).
If PM ever goes to the dark side and becomes HTML "compliant", I'll switch to another program - if I want to send 4MB word docs I'll do so knowingly, not accidently via my email program. I also like the fact that I can simply flag all HTML email as spam and narrow down my emails to (nearly) only those I want (that's after filtering over 90% of the spam at the server, leaving only a few hundred a day arriving for PM to filter). Anyway, I for one am very happy that POP3 and text are the primary focus of PM. That said, I'm not against improving IMAP or HTML as long as it doesn't interfere with the primary reasons for using PM in the first place: 1. Fast search 2. Focus on proper text emails 3. Great POP3 support 4. Usability (ui, etc.) 5. Reliability (why isn't this higher ... maybe it would be if it became an issue) Anyway, just to be the ship sailing against the wind :) Lane Roathe President Ideas From the Deep <http://www.ifd.com> ___________________________________________________________________ Life is cheap, but the accessories will break you.
