AFAIK, it has never been away since at least 3.0... :(  I still also
regularly have the "ever-repeating" IMAP tasks, which eat up 100% CPU
time too.

Usually though, choosing "Abort all tasks" in Connection Centre kills
these hanging/repeating tasks off, and then pressing Alt-F2 reconnects
to the IMAP server(s) and goes further where it was stuck before.

But indeed, sometimes it gets so irritating that I simply kill The Bat
and start Thunderbird instead. ;)

Btw, I know that IMAP is hard stuff, since the protocol quite honestly
seems to suck.  But why do ALL other IMAP clients (e.g. Thunderbird,
Mulberry, and even Outlook!) have almost zero problems with at least
the basic operations, such as retrieving mail, browsing folders, etc?
