Argh! Why must the connection centre stick open on the IMAP accounts? I have it set to open automatically, but it does not close if there's an open IMAP connection. Is there any way to fix this? -- Regards, Matt Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Of course, if the account is inactive, it's not going to be syncing unless I select it (which would be like having a POP account without periodic checking...). So one has to decide which is the lesser of two evils: Having to manually activate IMAP accounts? or having the Connection Center continuously open? For me it's the latter. Now if the Connection Center could be configured on an account-by-account basis, that would be the ideal. But maybe that would be easier said than done from a programming standpoint... -- Dave Using The Bat! v2.10 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

For me it's the latter. There's a third evil. :) You can have the CC always hidden and use the log panel to see what's happening with the account. In some instances the log panel will not be enough and you need to fireup the CC. The CC is annoying especially since it comes up in the foreground when sending messages. There really aught to be a way to easily summon the CC manually, like a shortcut or a toolbar button. -- -=[ 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

For me it's the latter. There's a third evil. :) You can have the CC always hidden and use the log panel to see what's happening with the account. Even considering the third evil, I will stick with my original choice of evils :) In some instances the log panel will not be enough and you need to fireup the CC. This is enough reason for me. I do quite a bit of searching, and with IMAP, the only way to know it's done searching is the CC messages. As you said, the CC is too cumbersome to bring up on demand, esp if it's often needed. The CC is annoying especially since it comes up in the foreground when sending messages. This is my biggest argument in favor of the perpetual CC. I'm still having frequent sending problems (described below), and watching the CC pop up when sending is the confirmation I need that the message was actually sent -- it's a more immediate and certain confirmation than watching the Outbox contents. My sending problem is that quite often when I send a message, it just sits in the Outbox (whether using a local or server-side Outbox, it makes no difference). If I try to do a Send queued mail it says there is nothing to send. The only way to get it to send (as someone on the list recommended) is to open the message from the outbox, make a small change (add a space, for instance) and send again. This works, although sometimes even that requires 3-4 instances of reopening/changing/resending. This appears to be an IMAP-specific problem as it does not occur with my POP accounts. I've figured it's just one more TB! IMAP glitch that I'll have to live with until they decide to prioritize IMAP functionality (or until I finally snap and decide to use a different client). -- Dave Using The Bat! v2.10 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.10.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
