My university uses it, and I fought with it for a while, but was happy when I found out that the Microsoft Exchange server now also supports IMAP and POP. Besides, Exchange uses a proprietary protocol, and TheBat has no native support for it (any more). >> Is it an gmail account? Have you tried logging in from a browser and >> see? > Not gmail.

Yes, I also tried IMAP with one account for a while, just to get a feel for it. I'm back to POP only. However, there are some people on this list who prefer IMAP. -- Cheers, Thomas.

Hi Miguel, On Monday, April 20, 2020, at 1:49:08 AM PST, you wrote: >> I really don't know what happened, but all of a sudden, the main >> inbox of my one IMAP account (my main email account!) is EMPTY! > I don't know much about IMAP accounts, never used one but, wasn't > that the idea of IMAP, to keep all email at the server? That's what I thought. I called my email server provider late last night, and they were able to provide at least a partial solution for the moment (restored email in that folder going back as far as 7 March, 2020 -- though I've been using this IMAP installation since August, 2019). I'm still waiting to hear about what happened to the rest. Next week, they'll be migrating me to what they say will be a better version of IMAP-like protocol -- "Exchange"? I guess I'll see what happens moving forward. > Is it an gmail account? Have you tried logging in from a browser and > see? Not gmail. Nor is it the account through which I'm sending this message. It's on my own domain. It's a service I've had through GoDaddy for many years now (POP3 until last August, when I decided to give IMAP a try). In any event, I'm happy to have the most recent emails restored, and will see what happens in trying to recover the rest.

Hello Melissa, > I really don't know what happened, but all of a sudden, the main inbox > of my one IMAP account (my main email account!) is EMPTY! I don't know much about IMAP accounts, never used one but, wasn't that the idea of IMAP, to keep all email at the server? Is it an gmail account? Have you tried logging in from a browser and see? -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Eek! Did I really lose--forever--all emails in my IMAP Inbox?
Hi, I really don't know what happened, but all of a sudden, the main inbox of my one IMAP account (my main email account!) is EMPTY! Is there any way to recover all those emails? Whenever I try restoring from a backup made yesterday only results in the maintenance center going into "not responding" mode (this was happening before all this as well -- I've not yet been able to restore at all). Please, please tell me there's a way to recover all these lost email messages!
