Did i miss something or is that not possible with TB! What do you mean no option to search. You have all searching options at your disposal. The search dialog doesn't seem to work since there's no progress bar to look at and it always claims the search is complete. However, if you wait, the matching messages eventually appear. Uncomfortable interface issues, I grant you. The alt-click and quick searching also work. -- Allie Martin My System Specs here: http://www.ac-martin.com/sysspecs.htm -=-=- You can never get rid of a bad temper by losing it. p7swzFlAjrIqW.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Well, the only search method that works for me, is the alt-click-method (how do i return from those search results to normal view). The other two don't work. Funny too is, that i can't quoute mails with F4, i only get a blank template - only a reply works. The alt-click and quick searching also work. How to use those? Hold down the alt button while clicking on any item in the message list. TB! will list all messages containing the same message list element. So if you wish to see all messages from me, just hold down the alt button and click on my name in the message list. You can do the same for message subject, and the various flags. You may wish to see all messages with attachments. Just alt-click on the attachment icon in a message containing an attachment. It's a great feature. The quick search works by just typing in the message list field, the string that you're searching for. The quick search will do only message list searches. Not whole message searches. -- Regards, Ralph|mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] |PGP Key ID: 0x5F1A33E3 Running The Bat! 3.0.1.33 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 SP2 Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The other two don't work. Hmmm. Current TB! IMAP is such that I really can't speak with confidence about what you should be experiencing. It may very well be that the search isn't working for you since, for message body searches, TB! queries the server and the search is done on the server. The results are then sent back to TB!. This why the search dialog just sits there claiming the search was done and no matches found. You wait and then the matches suddenly appear. Funny too is, that i can't quoute mails with F4, i only get a blank template - only a reply works. Do you first select what it is you wish to quote? F4 will quote only what you select. If nothing is selected, nothing is quoted. Of course, you very likely already know this and are just pointing out erratic behaviour on your system. -- Allie Martin System specs: http://www.ac-martin.com/sysspecs.htm -=-=- People say I'm apathetic, but I don't care. p7s3qJ8zUHUTo.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

For IMAP, you don't need to cache mail bodies to search. You shouldn't have to do that. ThunderBird doesn't cache mail bodies for searching. It queries the server. Same for Mulberry, the client I'm currently using most often. If you have a relatively slow connection, you couldn't do searches if you had to cache everything locally for searching. I've never used Outlook, so I can't speak for it. -- Allie Martin System specs: http://www.ac-martin.com/sysspecs.htm -=-=- A closed mouth gathers no feet. p7syXfyumbm7o.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

It seems my provider doesn't offer a server-search, so my only way to search are message headers. As for bandwith: i use a 2mbit line, so that shouldn't be the bottleneck, i guess.

Sorry. :) IMAP is always changing. It's like a sinus wave of improvements and setbacks. I'd say IMAP was at a peak with the beta version 3.0.2.8. It then took a steep dip in reliability with the introduction of multiple server connection support with v3.0.2.10 . -- Allie Martin System specs: http://www.ac-martin.com/sysspecs.htm -=-=- How does one expect the unexpected? p7scDvAVxGlH4.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Bandwidth throttling may be there. However, if you are getting a 2Mbit connection then it shouldn't be a problem for you to retrieve all message bodies to cache for searching.
