Hi all, I've been using TB! IMAP quite comfortably. However, I'm now having an Inbox problem that doesn't seem to affect other mailboxes. I'm therefore considering a workaround. It's then that it struck me that I use a lot of workarounds with TB!. I'll list them here so that others and the developers know that I don't just use TB! IMAP, but I have to coax it to work.
- I avoid working with large mailboxes, i.e., no more than 4000 messages per mailbox. This may be even less if I end up having say 5 or more folders with a large amount of messages. - I currently don't subscribe to my junk mail or other mailboxes that I check infrequently. I check those via webmail. I do this because they interfere with smooth reading of unread mail while jumping from mailbox to mailbox automatically. I wish I could be subscribed to a mailbox but not have its counts updated unless I explicitly request it. - I don't use a server side Outbox. It's just troublesome and often leads to multiple messages being sent and multiple messages being in the outbox when using the intermittent save option while composing. - I don't filter much with TB! - I avoid opening large attachments in my lower bandwidth environment. I save them for when I get home. I may get multiple attachments in a single message, with a few being appropriate for viewing in a low bandwidth setting. However, TB! is all or none with attachment retrieval. - I don't use any of the synchronise settings for any of my mailboxes. I disable synchronization for all mailboxes. - I no longer use the ticker. I may revisit this since I haven't tried it in a long time. - I don't manage my mailboxes using TB!. I do it server side, i.e., mailbox creations and deletions or making a folder a sub-folder or another. and my latest addition that I'm currently contemplating. - setting up a server side filter to move all unfiltered mail to another mailbox so that I don't have to use the Inbox. So with all these 'workarounds'/avoiding or steering clear of behaviours may be creating an impression of tranquility. However, it's artificial in that I really shouldn't have to be avoiding features. However, with all that, I still somewhat prefer what it's doing now to Mulberry. I'm getting hooked again on the templates and MicroEd so I may be getting swooned into tolerating some 'gyrations' to get things working Ok. :) -- -= Allie Martin =- The Bat! v3.5.36 System Specs: http://specs.aimlink.name -=-=- File not found.
