Hi all, since RIT stated that they were working on the basics of IMAP implementation I wish to inject one thought:
Allie reported in a recent message that one problem of TheBat/IMAP vs. other programs like Mulberry is that TheBat is always caching a message locally before displaying it, which other programs do not. This of course leads to an aspect that has not even been touched yet: I'm using a laptop that is being synchronized (Windows Offline-Folder) when "docked" at home. Synchronizing includes the full TheBat message base to enable me to handle email even when abroad. With POP3 this was no problem at all, because there was a "what's there is there" philosophy. Whith IMAP I have to be extremly careful what I do because being able to read a received email while docked does not mean that it will be possible to view that same email when undocked. The "sync policy" TheBat uses with IMAP folders also is somewhat inconsistant, e.g. if you Maintenance/Compress your folders to purge semi-deleted messages all your cache of the other mails is gone, too. There are other occasions when the email you read while connected isn't there anymore when disconnected. I'm asking for a complete, intended (not just "working in most cases anyhow" like it is now) "Away Mode" with full synchronization on demand, where nothing of the cache will be dropped without TheBat being specifically directed to. What are other's thoughts about such a feature? -- MfG, Alto mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
