Hello Lynn, Friday, May 15, 2009, 5:15:09 PM, you wrote: L I need to access some IMAP accounts, but all my current accounts are L POP. L Is it possible to do both? Are you talking about accessing the same accounts as IMAP and POP or some IMAP and some POP. The latter is possible for sure. The former is possible from two different computers, but I have not tried on the same computer. Note that not all accounts are accessible as IMAP. -- Stuartmailto:skcu...@fastmail.fm Using The Bat! v4.1.11.28 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 4.1.11 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

On xDSL there should be no reason for this. And - does that mean that TB becomes active when I do something like select or open a message?

Re: IMAP Question
Stuart Cuddy, [SC] wrote: SC Can someone explain what these numbers represent in my IMAP inbox. SC This is from my Blogstreet Account. SC Inbox4* 410 19 SC I assume that the 410 is the total messages in the folder, Yes. SC although this number seems to just accumulate despite the fact I SC have been using the Trash for deleted items. Deleting messages from an IMAP folder doesn't mean that they're actually deleted. They're just marked for deletion. SC The 19 appears to be the number of messages that I can see in my SC Inbox, that I haven't deleted. Exactly. To get rid of that 400 count, you need to do an expunge operation, i.e., to really delete those messages that are marked for deletion. For transparency and consistency of the operation terminology, TB! calls the expunging 'compression' which is the same process in POP3 accounts. You can either do this manually, or have TB! do it upon exiting IMAP folders. For the latter, look at the account properties. SC What is the 4*? This is under the unread column, but I don't see SC any unread messages. This means that there are 4 unread messages in the IMAP folder, but TB! hasn't yet sync'd with the server. This is why you don't see the headers for viewing. -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.10.01 on WinXP Pro (SP1) pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I synch all folders and as I read the SC messages it counts down until I get to 4 and then there are no more SC messages unread. When it syncs again it shows the new messages and SC then drops to 4 again as I read them. Any ideas. Yes. I'm familiar with this quirky behaviour and there's really nothing we as users can do about it. I found it very distracting and annoying but my senses are now acclimatized to it. :/ The current nature of TB!'s IMAP is that it's really unpredictable how well it will work for you. It may work as well as it can within the scope of its current functionality, it may not work well enough to be usable, or it may work to the point where it's useable but some of the functionality is broken. I guess this depends on the variability of how the various servers respond to TB! and how TB! interacts with them. Good clients to try and compare with how TB! handles IMAP are ThunderBird and Mulberry. If you use those, you'll experience solid IMAP support. You'll then be better able to understand what TB! is doing flakily or entirely fails to do. I currently use ThunderBird where TB! doesn't work well, i.e., at work while TB! works well enough at home. IMO, even at a basic level of usability, IMAP is definitely still a work in progress. However, I have confidence in the development teams abilities to optimize it and have it working well. I just hope the timeliness of development goes our way and the way of others who are interested in using IMAP. -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.10.01 on WinXP Pro (SP1) pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
