Without Imap extensions. Actually, what I see is that not one email client developer has done a good complete job of implementing Imap, as easy as you say it is. TB has come closest. > b) Limit some of the client side functionality depending on the > protocol you use. This gives same advantages as above. Yes, this is what Becky has done, for instance. Limited filters for Imap, etc. Not acceptable, in my opinion. As for basic Imap operation, Becky has the bad habit of going into endless loop when trying to access one of my Imap servers. And no multithreading with the servers. Eudora and Pocomail attempted that and both made a big mess of it. Have your students done better? No, TB gets the prize for taking on the whole job and doing an acceptable job of it. > I don't know who runs that company, but this is just plain wrong > even for me, guy from post-Soviet country. Which is an undeserved slap at yourself and Moldova. -- Gleason Using 4.0.0.6 (ALPHA) on Windows XP, 5.1, Build 2600.
