Gary,
This has never happened to me, ever, or anyone on the Mulberry lists that
I
have maintained for them previously.
But, as you well know, the facts that I am not seeing the TB problems you
are having with IMAP, and that RIT can't duplicate them, doesn't mean that
you are not having them.
G> And Mulberry's editing new email features are really unacceptable.
It is easy enough to use, just type, and has a much better spell checker.
If
I need advanced editing features, I use Vim or emacs (in windows or Unix)
as
my editor with Mulberry.
Another problem you are obviously not seeing.
G> Thunderbird has lots of glitz and glamor and name recognition, but it
G> is several years behind the rest in features.
The plug ins or add-ons are actually not behind in features, but ahead,
e.g.
full calendar and IMAP sync-ing on my mail servers, even push technology,
also PGP use, like in TB!, etc. Even eliminating my above remarks,
getting
back to the crux, it's IMAP functionality is far superior, and faster,
even
with those people that keep 1000s of emails in one folder (not really
recommended in IMAP). It just works, never had any problems. What one has
to
decide is if they are willing to give up some features in TB! for a client
that handles IMAP well.
Like I said, TB has important feature advantages. Mailticker, customizable
message index column headings, customizable message header display, lots
more.
You seem to forget that last year, when moving to v3, when similar
complaints arose, there was an outcry from the IMAP users that progress
was
slow, incomplete, and why should they pay and upgrade to v3 when IMAP was
introduced in v2.
Yes, I do remember that TB IMAP was unusable for me a few years ago. I
think Rit has put significant effort into Imap. I thank them for that.
