Hello John,

JT> 1. The last time I tried TB, on Fastmail's server I had shared folder
JT> in one account so I would not have to log into both. Today, I could
JT> not get those folders removed from either (manage or read) list until
JT> I unsubscribed from each and everyone of them. This is despite the
JT> fact that the server was reporting the folders did not exist.

Did you try Manage IMAP folders/Reset List

JT> 2. I have messages marked read in "0" seconds (instantly I guess).
JT> This does not work sometimes.  The folder will be bold as if there is
JT> a new message, but none of them are new.  I have to switch away from
JT> the folder and switch back.  Not a deal breaker, but annoying.

Yes, see <mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> & thread.

JT> 3. I log into my work account from two machines.  I have both machines
JT> set up to do a full synchronization so I do not have to wait to read
JT> mail.  When I work on one machine, delete and read mail, then log out
JT> and switch back to the other machine and do a purge and compress, the
JT> folder shows up as broken.  Again, not a deal breaker, but annoying.

Do not see this.

JT> 4. The manage folders list is clumsy.  I typically want to change a
JT> bunch of folder to the same settings.  I have to do each one
JT> independently (perhaps there is a way to do this I am unaware of).  It
JT> would be nice to be able to select a bunch of folder and apply the
JT> settings to all folders.

Yes and often you actually have to select the check box twice to get
the check mark to appear.

JT> 5. I installed new account, my work account, which has about 500MB of
JT> messages on the server.  I set up the account to do full synchro.  I
JT> was unable to read mail on this account for a while.  The folders
JT> showed up as having messages, but clicking on them showed none.  Now,
JT> perhaps this is nit picking, but making IMAP fast and stable is a
JT> higher priority to me than fancy new features.

I only Sync the folders that I use regularly so every message does not
have to be synced, but it would be nice to set as you have.

JT> 6. NON-IMAP Thought, AS A LOW PRIORITY, it would be nice to be able to
JT> download and view images in messages which meet certain criteria or
JT> for which a button is pushed. Certainly, IMAP having no bugs and being
JT> fast and stable would be much better.

There is a wish in the bugtrack you may want to support.

JT> 7. New messages arriving to an open folder to not thread, they show up
JT> at the bottom of the list, sometimes at least.

Also reported on bugtrack.

JT> If this is helpful, I will report more thoughts after more use.

JT> I would very much like everyone at Ritlabs to use nothing but IMAP for
JT> six months.  This cannot hurt Ritlabs, excepting your productivity if
JT> your product has opportunities for improvement that you would then
JT> quickly recognize.

Couldn't hurt.
