And of course it should.  Actually it seems to me that somebody
mentioned using a local outbox helps, and it did, but I still ended up
not using the feature.  I am reminded of the last time I tried to move
a folder up in the server hierarchy.  I ended up deleting my folder
preferences file to get TB back to normal.  Not sure if that has been
fixed.  I haven't noticed it being mentioned in the beta release notes. 

I confess I am currently using Becky because so many things that don't
work have made TB unusable for me.  

Becky has two very nice features where you can add notes to a message
that stand out as notes, and you can specify keywords that appear
marked wherever they appear in messages.  These don't work in Becky for
IMAP either.  

Yes, I understand that IMAP is much more difficult to work with than POP. 
But from a user standpoint, these lapses are simply unforgivable.

I once told Slaven Radich of Pocomail that I would pay $160 (I chose
that figure because it is twice the cost of his high end product) for a
really good complete IMAP implementation.  He is far from claiming the
prize.  So are all the rest.
