Gary and I have discussed IMAP so much that I'm very familiar with his usage. He tends to read most of his mail in the Inbox and then filter them to their various target folders/mailboxes afterwards. As a result of this, his Inbox is quite busy while he's reading mail. TB! doesn't behave well when you're browsing a mailbox/folder to which new messages are being frequently added. Message bodies often fail to load when a request is sent while the message list is being updated as new messages reach the Inbox. In contrast, I read my mail after they're filtered to their various destination mailboxes. This makes it less likely that I'll be browsing a mailbox that is frequently being updated with new messages. My experience is therefore different. I don't know how Tony works. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that system configuration has little to do with the problems we have. It's just TB! that isn't robust enough to handle the various ways in which we read mail. I'm having a better time now since I changed IMAP server and haven't transferred my old mail to the new account. As a result, my mailboxes are pretty small in size and since then, I'm doing a lot better with TB! now. I don't know how long this will last. My TBOT mailbox is my largest mailbox since I transferred all its messages to the new account for testing. This mailbox contains 3000 messages. However, this was among the smaller of the message tallies of my larger mailboxes with my old account. Mulberry handles these heavy use situations far better. That's all. TB! needs to do this as well. -- -= Allie Martin =- The Bat! v3.5.30 System Specs: http://www.ac-martin.com/sysspecs.htm -=-=- Itsdifficulttobeverycreativewithonlyfiftysevencharacters! ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.30 | '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/
