Yes, and that's indeed a curious situation. One really can't count how often 
this process of getting IMAP work better was described. As Curtis wrote, TB! 
is a really good IMAP mailer, but needs special settings.

You did wonder why options like full-sync are offered. Why did you, as a 
Mulberry user, want to use this "feature"? Mulberry doesn't offer it and 
works great.  So why just tune TB! in a similar way?!

Yes, that did annoy me too. Curtis gave a workaround. This needs work.

...like everywhere. ;-)

Your sentence is that right and I would agree with you. But Ritlabs 
unfortunately has a list with hundreds of other things beside IMAP. 

At this point I want to agree with Clive. Ritlabs promissed to focus on IMAP 
and now TB! has funky tabs. Nice... But this way of developing will never end 
- at Ritlabs, at least.
