Rather than echo all of what Allie has said in his reply I can confirm that (unlike Allie) I can't rely on TB for everyday, real-world IMAP use. It's just so frustrating to wait for a couple of minutes for messages to display while TB churns away. I can see my router working so it's not a matter of the prog hanging. I've now taken to closing and reopening TB at intervals and making a cup of coffee while it loads and sorts out its message base. Not good.
OTOH, Mulberry doesn't exhibit any of the IMAP issues here that TB does - and that's probably because it was designed primarily as an IMAP, rather than POP, client. With TB it's the other way round of course. Allie has the opposite experience, so resolving IMAP problems is probably going to be a compromise. I experience duplicate messages, too, on a regular basis. My largest message bases are around 2,000 messages (TB groups) but I experience these hangs even on an account with just a few hundred messages. No combination of synchronisation or cache deletion really helps. -- Regards Clive Taylor Using TB 3.0.2.4 Rush ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.4 Rush | '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/
