I think you are confusing IDLE with synchronization. It doesn't matter what folder you have selected, as long as your client syncs every 2 or 5 or ... minutes the new mail will arrive. It just a little "slower" than waiting for IDLE. -- Vilius ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.0.0.133 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
