You're right. TB! would be far better than Thunderbird, if its current features worked well. This is why I don't use ThunderBird at all anymore. It's not even installed. It's either TB! or Mulberry. > The lack of feature (again: concerning IMAP) is widely spread, isn't > it? I don't know any client that is nearly that good in IMAP as > Mulberry.

However, upon looking at TB! and what it represents, surely they couldn't be stopping at where the others have reached. :) I don't get that impression anyway. However, if they do stop at just getting the current functionality to work reliably, then I doubt I'll use TB! again with any frequency. > Now that I've used Mulberry for a while, it's the lack of features, > that doesn't get me back to TB! Indeed. I'm hoping that TB!'s capacity for excellence in whatever feature set it explores will find its way into IMAP and not simply do what the others do. The others don't do enough, pretty much like how other basic clients don't do enough for POP3. > I really love "Labels", moreover I love setting them at my server > through sieve filtering.

It's so darned efficient with how it works with the server, which is what the spirit of IMAP represents. Everything is on the server. If you can minimise what is transmitted to work with what's on the server, then that's the way to go. The clients are generally far behind in their support of this. I recall a long time member of this list. He's Alexander Kiselev, I think. He was a Pegasus user for a long time before he finally switched to TB!. He was waiting for a few features to find their way in, and they did. :) I'm similarly sticking around to see how things go for TB! only the roles are reversed. I was a devote user of TB!. It's the only application that I've ever used for so long without having any desire or inclination to give its competitors even a fleeting consideration. This quickly changed with my way too late discovery of the joys of IMAP. :) -- Allie Martin System specs: http://www.ac-martin.com/sysspecs.htm -=-=- If you're not confused, you're not paying attention. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.26 | '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/
