I find this new release encouraging. I think they're close. I've now using Becky! at home and Mulberry at work. I've tried Thunderbird, MozillaMail, Poco Mail, Pegasus Mail, Eudora, Gemini and OperaMail and: ..if TB!'s IMAP functionality were to remain as is, and this functionality made to work *reliably* and quickly, they'd have the best IMAP client being developed now. Mulberry still is the best, but it's no longer being developed. Even if TB! were to be reliable and fast, Mulberry would be the technically better IMAP client because of more extensive protocol support. However, most, including myself, do not need all the IMAP protocol support to be getting along nicely. So TB! would become my hands down choice if it were to just work well without the many glitches that occur. So many glitches that make you wonder what is happening. Is it the server? Is it TB!? Is it the connection?? Is it a problem with my system? Is it a problem with my message base cache? Is it a problem with my TB! configuration? I was getting tired of this. When using Becky! and/or Mulberry, if I'm having trouble, it's either the connection or the servers... simple. That actually makes the problems very few then and much easier to trouble shoot. I can just do my stuff without the headaches of wondering what could be wrong when something isn't right. -- -=Curtis=- PGPKey: http://rsakey.aimlink.name -=-=- Show me a sane man.
