This last release was my best twilight moment with TB! IMAP. By 'twilight moment', I mean a period of pleasure where things are going well, and then I encounter trouble which nullifies my initial elation. :) This has been the routine with each step forward. The steps are there though. It's improving, but ATM, I share your final assessment here. > Last month, in frustration, I erased all traces of TB from my system, > including registry entries, and reinstalled 3.2.10 (I think) upgrading > just the .exe from the beta RARs.

When I use TB!, the server runs on the same machine so my connection is very fast and still with strange delays. These do not occur when browsing an average mailbox that isn't receiving mail frequently. However, the problems start when the mailbox is big and aggravated even further if you're browsing the mailbox and new messages are being frequently added as you do so. I'm just thinking now that threading may have something to do with this and will try without threading enabled. I doubt it though. I also have deletion problems similar to Tony's, but they are only sporadic and leaves me wondering what causes it. -- Allie Martin System specs: http://www.ac-martin.com/sysspecs.htm -=-=- Any fool can criticize, condemn, & complain.
