Allie, while I agree that TB has improved its IMAP function since releasing the first incarnation of v2 it started from a low base of usability and it's still not reliable enough to be used as a prime mail client under IMAP. The problems that Joseph mentioned are ones I've experienced on newly-made accounts (as well as most of the others reported here on various occasions) - and the general flakiness of TB's performance in this area is disappointing. You mention that Thunderbird is a nice free client. Actually, for straightforward, reliable, intuitive IMAP operation, I'd pay for it. I use it to sort out the mess that TB makes of my IMAP structure! Isn't that an indictment? -- regards Clive Taylor Using TB 2.03 Beta/45 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 2.03 Beta/47 | "Using TBBETA" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
