Re: IMAP support (was: Filter problem with IMAP account)
Hi, Oliver. Olivier Mascia wrote: Is there some central wish-list about TB IMAP features somewhere ? I'd like to read it and probably add some input. Peter recently started a thread on this topic at: msgid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [snip] I found your discussion of POP3/IMAP clients highly interesting and educational, and your suggestion of separating POP3 and IMAP clients to be quite thought provoking. I'm surprised that it hasn't generated more discussion here. In between, I now daily use TB 3.0 for IMAP. But I still need to daily use other clients for some tasks. I am also using multiple clients. However, in my case, usage is reversed. I use mostly other clients, and use TB! only occasionally. There are just too many IMAP features still missing, and that, combined with the performance issues I'm having, makes it too time consuming and frustrating to use on a regular basis. The only fear I have is that the remaining things to add or correct might be too cumbersome to implement in an email client that has to do POP too. The weakiest move of Mulberry was when they decided to add POP support to it. The number of deficiencies sky rocketed at that time. This, too, I find very interesting. I didn't start using Mulberry till recently, so I wasn't aware of this.

Filter problem with IMAP account
I filter my Inbox for a particular email adress, assign a color group and finally move these messages to another folder. When I use this filter with IMAP provider1 the filter always fails. The result is that these messages stay in the Inbox and don't have the appropriate color. When I invoke the filter manually from the filter properties dialog this works fine !! When I use the same filter with my IMAP provider2 account it works without any problems. That's strange right ? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ? -- Michael TheBat! 3.0.0.15 on Windows 2000 Current beta is 3.00.15 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ? This is an interesting insight. I have only one IMAP provider and that's myself. I've been noting that my Inbox filters work when they feel like. Some seem to work consistently, while others don't. Both are filters that look for header string matches. In fact, the one that often doesn't work at all is one that matches all messages not yet already filtered (it's the last filter in the filter set). I've never thought that the filter could be working differently depending on the provider and that this could be a factor in the existence of this annoying problem. All I can say is that you're certainly not alone with this problem and that it isn't your fault or anything you're doing wrong. It's just TB! IMAP and we have to wait for a fix if we're up to waiting. Does your provider allow for server side filtering? Many providers allow for webmail control of IMAP accounts. These webmail interfaces often allow for filtering. You could setup filters there and then let TB!'s broken filtering do as little as possible. This is my current system of dealing with things. I'd go nuts and run if I had to filter all my IMAP mail with TB!. -- -= Allie =- .

Peter Fjelsten, [PF] wrote: Each time I assign a colour group to an IMAP message, that colour group is lost on moving the message. This isn't surprising since moving the message moves the message to another IMAP folder on the server. TB! sync's with this IMAP folder which holds no information about colour group assignment, a purely local feature for TB!. As a result, there is no colour group assignment when you check the message in the other folder. You may propose then that RL implements a system when the colour group is locally reassigned when the message is moved. I'd wonder why bother since it really isn't worth the hassle. If you fire up another TB! client on another machine and access the IMAP account, all colour groups assigned via the initial TB! installation will not be seen. What's the point then of using an attribute that doesn't carry across to other IMAP clients? If you use a single client, then why use IMAP then? TB! needs to implement the added message attributes that are standard for the IMAP protocol, so that when you label the message, ThunderBird will show it, Mulberry will show it, and last but not least, your other TB! installations at other locations will show it. I'd personally disagree with the proposal that they commit efforts at making colour groups work better when it's only local. -- -= Allie =- .
