Hi Stefan, I think I'm going to be knocking on the IMAP server for a bit... as it is a field a do a bit of work in, I understand some of the protocol. I probably would have sniffed all the traffic myself, but I run IMAP over SSL, which makes it a little complicated ;)
Message Counts -------------- How are you generating the counts for these? I'm having a guess that you're doing a SELECT based on your message in the log box at the bottom. Correct me if I'm wrong. You could do a STATUS or EXAMINE. If you are doing a SELECT, you're running some extra commands that aren't really needed for a quick message count update (new messages, total count etc). Trash ----- Any chance of one? You set it to allow you to define a sent/outbox, but not a trash. I would like one ;) EXPUNGE ------- Because of the way I'm used to TB behaving (flagged a message as deleted, but not deleting it), do you still do the same in IMAP? If so, do you provide an EXPUNGE command somewhere? Or has that been kept as part of the Compress/Purge options? If you automatically EXPUNGE, I'd really like a Trash option ;) UID --- Are you guys using it? SquirrelMail (the project I work on) never used to support it, and we'd get complaints of the wrong mail being deleted because of session based IDs, not mail based unique identifiers... Would be great if you guys used UID as well. Sorting/Threading ----------------- Are you guys doing it using the servers THREAD/SORT commands, or sticking with TBs internal implementation? For threading I might suggest sticking with TBs internal implementation for the most part, however courier-imap has a 'feature' that will automatically thread subject and references if they are close enough, so Re: Hello would be threaded under Hello unless there is an appropriate thread for the reply. I think that'll keep you busy for a few minutes until I've concocted my next batch, and started swapping over all my subscriptions to a different email address, so I can fully use this IMAP stuff ;) -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
