Re: IMAP - No message loaded error - next installment

I couldn't get Thunderbird to talk at all. It won't accept the pw for some reason, and I've kind of given up on it. Not only do I not like it, but I don't understand it and I don't have the time to mess with it :-/ The things that cause problems for me are accounts with lots of folders or lots of accounts to check at the same time, particularly when there are messages waiting in several of them. One large email can hold up everything else and I wonder whether the connections timeout and hang. Yes, this could be. There are several accounts - but all but the one with the problem are POP accounts, and all are working fine as of this writing. Most have lots of folders, including this IMAP account. But .. the only one with problems is the IMAP account :-/ You could play around with some of the settings in Properties|Mail Management|IMAP Fine Tune at account level and see whether that makes a difference. Well, so far that hasn't accomplished anything. I have managed to move all the messages to the trash folder, (the delete key worked where the delete button on the interface did not) where for some reason I can read them. I can't move any to any other folder, however, and none of the filters work on that account. There is a new version of IMAP for The Bat in the works, and hopefully this will address some of the current issues. I hope so. In the meantime, has anyone ever managed to fix a filter problem like this one? There are filters specific to this account, as well as a common filter which combs about 3 of them, the other accounts being POP accounts. Will be glad to provide any other info you like, if you think it will help. tia - -- Lynn :Hawthorne: :usflag: :canadaflag: theli...@comcast.net * * *Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed* * * Team OS/2 Windows 6, Build 7600 4.2.36.4 Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

My preferred client is The Bat, but since it is IMAP, I can use any client to get the messages and Thunderbird is a good way of testing whether the problem is server or client related. There have been lots who complain that Bat IMAP is unworkable, but I continue to find it superior over all to anything else. I only have one account, which has 62 folders, and nearly 54,000 messages. It collects all my POP accounts, and all my gmail gets forwarded there. I haven't looked directly at gmail for months, nor any of my POP accounts unless there is some reason to send a message using one of those addresses. I also use thunderbird occasionally for testing, and on a regular basis to compact all my folders, since theBat doesn't manage that well. Looking forward to beta testing the new IMAP, expecting to set up additional IMAP accounts for that, and changing habits on my POP accounts. -- Dwight A.

It appears to do nothing, but the CC does show a list of messages it is pretending to load and to filter - the filters aren't working either :-/ What are the folder synchronisation settings? Set for full synchronization. Have been from when I set it up.

Eventually the messages appear in TB. I've been waiting for three days. And the mail server is in the basement; speed shouldn't be an issue :-/ I'm going to have to go and see if I can read at least some of these message straight off the server, because they really won't wait :-/ Maybe I should just go to POP on this account too; I hate IMAP, but really resented losing my 15 year old db, and thought maybe I'd better try to get along with it.
