If so, what settings did you use?

Settings are: protocol: IMAP4 User account id: your_main_icloud_name Incoming mail server: imap.mail.me.com Once you mount the inbox, copy messages in it to a local folder to have them stored in your database as if they had come over POP3. One caveat is that there seems to be a Webkit under Carbon bug that we cannot work around in our code and that can get exhibited when dealing with some HTML messages coming from IMAP servers. If you run across this, disable the "HTML reader" option in preferences and click on the "Globe" icon when previewing HTML messages to display them externally.

The only problem I seem to be having is with the ports and the SSL since I keep getting an intermittent error msg. I'm using port 993 and 'use secure connection SSL/TLS" on a dedicated secure port. TBH I'm not a big fan of IMAP although I can see the advantages with when using multiple machines, but it does seem to be the way most mail clients are going. Maybe PM7 will be the IMAP client to rule them all :) Chris On 22/2/13 CTM info wrote: >Yes, within the design limits of PowerMail's lightweight IMAP >implementation, we use it all the time.
