Hi Everyone: I need verification that our problem is indeed a problem with TB.
We have an IMAP mailserver on our internal LAN. We had a user that attempted to use the TB Tools/Export Messages and Tools/Import Messages with rather interesting results. WARNING: If you are going to try this, use messages you do not care if you lose (perhaps forever). Our user went to an IMAP folder and selected several messages. He then exported these messages using the Tools/Export Messages function to a local directory. He then deleted the messages from the IMAP folder (marked for deletion and then expunged). He then changed his mind and decided to import the same messages that were exported earlier. He highlighted the folder and then executed the Tools/Import Messages folder, highlighted the messages he wanted imported from the local directory and did the import. The new imported messages showed up in the IMAP directory for about 5 seconds and then disappeared. When I looked at "Browse deleted messages" in the appropriate folder, I found all the messages that were imported. I tried to undelete and nothing happened. They remained marked for deletion. Interestingly enough, even after a sync, these messages were not physically present on the IMAP server which among other things means the data contained in the Browse deleted messages view is somewhat suspect as it appears as though it does not coincide with the IMAP message store on the server. One of two things happened. More times than not but not all the time, the message transport fails. That is to say the connection with the server apparently hangs and not all messages in all folders can be viewed without a complete restart of TB. I'm pretty sure that we have not tried this operation hasn't been tried before 2.12.04 so I don't know if it is a problem with this release or not. We have successfully replicated this problem on three systems with the same results. Again, if you are going to try this, use a message or messages that you don't care of ever seeing again. Thanks, -- Best Regards, Kevin Using The Bat! v2.12.04 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1
