No. ThunderBird worked and it had no such lack of multi-threading. > I'm not a programmer, I don't know how these things are done, I can only > tell it the way I see it.

It's just that it can't do much. :) However, delete all you want and it does just that for you right away, without any hour glass episodes where you're not allowed to do anything else. TB! has the same foundation of multi-threading. It just needs to execute the command correctly and without error. Take for example. I just opened my fastmail account. I'm having an annoying time with my Inbox since it's the place where I do most deleting. I have ONE message there. ONE! I hit delete. It disappears from the list. However, there's still 1 unread message. As I'm writing this, it's been about 5 minutes since I marked that message for deletion. I still have 1 unread message in the Inbox which when I select has no messages. I then do a disconnect and reconnect. I know now that this is what I need to do. Upon reconnecting, the Inbox message count goes to zero and the message I deleted appears in the message list again. I delete, the 'deleted' message and finally I'm rid of the message. If this was happening with other folders with any regularity, I'd not be using TB! now. The reason it's not happening with other folders is because I rarely delete messages from other folders. The Inbox is where I see the unfiltered messages and therefore tend to delete a lot of them. This has been happening quite routinely to me with that Inbox. This has nothing to do with TB! needing to do what it's doing before moving on to another task. It did do something. It's just what it did led to buggy behaviour. > The Bat used to the standard I compared all other clients to, Mulberry is > now the IMAP client that has become the standard II compare other IMAP > clients too... Maybe I've been spoiled by it? Not at all. It's the standard alright and I believe it will continue to be for a long time to come. -- -= Allie Martin =- The Bat!™ v3.5.0.31 System Specs: http://www.ac-martin.com/sysspecs.htm -=-=- Oxymoron: Sure bet. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.31 | '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/
