Following Allie's lead I have played around with the various settings and come up with optimum settings for my server. Perhaps we should start sharing this information, get confirmations etc. so Ritlabs can have an IMAP wizard based on server/connection type? Part of the problem with TB! IMAP support is the many combinations of options.
Yes. This is an idea.
I also think this is an excellent idea. I've thought of asking you (Allie) to post all the settings you have chosen to make The Bat! "work like Thunderbird", but this becomes a major task, due to the number of setting scattered among a variety of different menus. So I don't know how feasible the idea of sharing server-specific settings is, but it sounds good.
Apart from the settings, I find that I have to be mindful. Clicking from folder to folder in frustration, wondering why nothing will happening, racks up the queue of tasks and makes matters worse.
Good point. This may well be part of my problem, because I definitely do do this.
You're right. The lack of a progress indicator is a big problem. As frustrating as Mulberry's long waits are, at least there's a dialog box telling you what's happening and counting the seconds, so that you know, first of all, that something is happening, second, what it is that's happening, and third, how long it's taken.Killing TB! in the middle of a sync operation may also lead to TB! discarding the partially built cache and starting over again. However, I can't really blame users when there's no reasonable progress indicator as to what's happening. There's not much visual difference between a hung queue and one that's slowly underway.
To answer Keith's question, though no keystroke has been assigned through the default setup, he can easily assign one via the edit shortcuts dialog (Alt-F12).
Yes, I thought of that, too. Guess I'll have to figure out how to do it. :-)
