That's because the IMAP folder order is different in Thunderbird and The Bat! In the Tbird screen shot, the line directly above PLALA is correct Japanese display. In the TB! screen capture, the same text is shown with three extraneous characters at the end, starting with "=". This cannot be fixed in TB, and does not affect the actual folder title as viewed in other programs. > >The good news is that you can create TB folders with Japanese names.

I didn't create the folders in TB, but in another program. There are other problems with Japanese handling as well. (1) Using MicroEditor, Japanese cannot be typed inline but must be entered via a separate IME window. (2) Both with MicroEditor and Windows Editor, TB incorrectly changes the encoding header information. (3) When replying to a message with Japanese title, the title becomes corrupted. (4) Messages and templates are displayed with lots of squares where spaces should be. Etc. I have been asking and hoping for proper handling of Japanese for at least five years. Things have improved somewhat during that time, but too many problems still exist for the program to be useful to me, even though I have foolishly purchased it three times over. Thunderbird, a free program, has none of the above problems, by the way. -- Wataru Tenga 天河 航 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.63.05 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
