Hi all, I've been worrying about this for some time.
For various reasons, I have never been a fan of IMAP and haven't used it. I prefer to download mail locally and not have it stored or managed on someone else's server. But it seems that we will soon have no choice. But in a way we do. We'll be forced to use IMAP protocol for fetching mail, but that's all. We're not forced to do anything else. So let me make a suggestion -- POP-over-IMAP. In this scheme, PowerMail would download mail using IMAP ports/protocol but otherwise behave as it does today. So, for example, moving a message into a folder would be purely a local action, as it is today. As far as iCloud is concerned, it would still be in the InBox. The only time a message might be changed would be if it is moved to PowerMail's Mail Trash. It seems to me that this might be a simple change for CTM to make - much simpler than the full IMAP behavio(u)r. Regards.....Peter On Sun, Feb 26, 2012, T.L.
