Re: IMAP (was "The Bat! in server mode?")
Hi, > Is there an email client anyone can recommend that plays nice with > IMAP? Please don't say Outlook. Thunderbird? Eudora? Anything? I've never had any IMAP problems with Thunderbird. On the other hand, it only provides rather basic functions, so the changeover shock from TheBat is quite extensive. ;-) Mulberry comes to mind when talking about IMAP. To my knowledge it was the first program that fully implemented almost all nuances of the IMAP protocol. This may still hold, but so does the quirky interface and in recent time there have been no signs of developement to speak of. The existing user base seems to be happy with the way it is, and there is no drive to improve the program in any way. -- Mit freundlichem Gruß Alto Speckhardt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] pgpJRCxvpEJDK.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Please don't say Outlook. Thunderbird? Eudora? Anything? Here is a link about IMAP Mail Services: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol Near the bottom, they list several mail clients. One that I hear is a good one is Mulberry: http://www.mulberrymail.com/ I notice that it is now a free, open source mail client. I myself am not qualified to rate the different IMAP mail clients.

Hi All, Firstly thank you Alto and Stuart for your advice. Is there an email client anyone can recommend that plays nice with IMAP? Please don't say Outlook. Thunderbird? Eudora? Anything?

The quality of TB!'s IMAP is still an issue. I use it and it is OK, but not great. Others can't use it at all and others have no problems. It does seem to matter on the settings, whether you download all messages or just headers, etc. If you are using an IMAP server in house its hard to say whether some of the issues can be eliminated. -- Best regards, Stuartmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v4.0.24.16 On Windows XP 5.1 Build #2600 Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi, > [IMAP] > Can I still use TB! as the client. That depends on your level of tolerance. If you have a feasable alternative, take it. > but I do remember a few threads on this list years ago discussing > its IMAP limitations. And when I say a few years ago it may of been > 4 or 5 years ago. Has Ritlabs dealt with these issues? No, not in the least. Improvements have been promised on various occasions but have never materialized. The currently running promise is for v4.1, which of course needs an update fee. If you want to use IMAP with TheBat I recommend the final v3 version. If TheBat happens to like your provider's servers you may be more or less ok with it. If anything, it has been going downwards from then on again. -- Mit freundlichem Gruß Alto Speckhardt mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] pgpcUIfSDRyeD.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
IMAP (was "The Bat! in server mode?")
Hi All, Firstly I would like to thank all the people who responded to my original query. Looks as though in order to set up a networked multi-user TB! configuration I going to have to use IMAP. I've already done the research for the server side, but now I need information for the client side. Can I still use TB! as the client. I've been a TB! user since version 1.x (maybe early 2.x) and consider it the best POP client available, but I do remember a few threads on this list years ago discussing its IMAP limitations. And when I say a few years ago it may of been 4 or 5 years ago. Has Ritlabs dealt with these issues? I would rather not recommend switching over to another client. -- Best regards, NickOhare Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
