There are some advanced IMAP functionality that I could see with not making it into v2. However, my problem is with currently supported functionality not working well, even with TB! friendly IMAP servers. We really shouldn't have to do a paid upgrade for that sort of fixing. > From what I've read so far, face/skin/features seems to be more > important than the basic email abilities, either POP or IMAP. Despite my frustration, this is the one of the sentiments that I've been unable to agree with. A lot has been done for IMAP since I started using it. During IMAP development, other things have been improving, including the user interface. Not all use IMAP. In a similar way, many do appreciate an attractive interface and this is becoming a more popular reason to sway a potential user to one client vs another. I can certainly see good reason to enhance TB!'s appearance. > I would be willing to pay for _truly_functional_ IMAP, not for > gadgets like chat folders. Yes. Chat seems obscure, but that's all I can really say ...'it *seems* ....' I'm one user with no use for it. They have a better handle than me on what features are worthwhile adding. > Also I'm, like others, missing the roadmap, long time already.
