That doesn't matter. I can search body texts of messages perfectly fine with the "Advanced search messages" feature. So it IS possible to search body text. Of course it will mean that the program has to retrieve text at the moment the filter applies. > Quoting of the "Help" text about IMAP mail: > <begin quotation> > About Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) > > Advantages: Your messages and any changes to them stay on > your server, saving local disk space.

You will have to jump though many hoops (and live with known bugs) when you want the program to NOT store messages on the local disk. > As I see it you basically have two choices - both requiring disk > space on your computer > 1. Switch your mail accounts from IMAP to POP > 2. Copy selected emails to a folder under "Local Folders" It is a company mail environment with an IMAP server on the LAN and Seamonkey as clients. There is no POP server and there should not be, as mail is not to be stored on the PC but is to remain on the server. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
