IMO, they should either follow the protocol (RFC 3501), 100%, or don't put it out the product... you just can't have half-way measures. It doesn't work, especially when talking with 50 different email clients as a server would normally. IMAP servers, as well as IMAP clients must follow the protocol... Why do some IMAP servers make reference to "purge?"... there is no purge in the IMAP protocol!! geesh... let's just make up a word and use it.. Getting back to the above, IMO, TB! should rename or add EXPUNGE to the folder drop down list (hot-key-able for IMAP use only)... it is different from purge or compress entirely. It has a different meaning, different functionality. It is unique to IMAP. -- Gary ________________________________________________________ Current beta is v2.12 RC/1 | '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/
