It's not like only "few power users" have server side filtering. Most business users have it, especially if they use Exchange. Major filtering rules are usually set up by server administrator globally (e.g. [SPAM] filtering into Spam folder). Also on IMAP users can have access to other users' mailboxes where mail arrives too. In addition, using IDLE command on currently selected mailbox is consisten behaviour with other email clients. And there is a good reason why, in IMAP phylosophy INBOX is just another mailbox, it really makes no sense to assume that mail will arrive there. Even the name for it is configurable and it can be named whatever you want. With the rise of Gmail IMAP, most people assume that IMAP is just another email protocol. But it is really completely new point of view to how email works. It is good of course that Google is pushing it to mainstream, however I hope that some day it will be much more than just pop3 on streroids. -- Best regards, Vilius ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.0.18.12 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
