Hello Bob,
all of these issues are long-standing and haven't been fixed in years.
In fact, you might want to try the final v3-version of TheBat (v3.98.2
I believe), this one is a little (and I do mean "a little") better
when it comes to IMAP, at least the connection-lost problems don't
happen as often as they do with the v4.0.38. I personally even
continue using v3.0.1.33 to this day.
Now that my message base is in the new (version 4.0 on) format, I don't
think I can "go back" to an older version of TB.
Funny, isn't it? All of those years of enduring and reporting IMAP
issues, and all that has changed is that the issues have grown
_worse_ over the versions?
I don't understand it, not being a computer tech person (although I was
a mechanical engineer until age 40, in 1982). However, I also think
RitLabs is doing their best to really redesign their IMAP module for TB,
and I admire their perseverance. I have "Googled" to look for the best
IMAP functionality for Windows mail clients. There aren't many that get
a top grade. Mulberry does, but I think its interface is ugly and the
program setup options get to be too complicated. Thunderbird seems to
be the "runner up" as best IMAP, and the interface is decent (if not as
good as TB's). As I have mentioned, Opera's Mail component is the
easiest to set up for IMAP, but its interface is not quite as good as
Thunderbird's IMHO. Outlook 2007 automatically detected the server
setup for Gmail's IMAP services (a cool feature!), but I don't think it
is quite as handy as Thunderbird. So I will go back to using TB as my
primary mail client once the persistent IMAP nuisances are cleared up,
whenever that might be.
I appreciate your replying to my posting. Thanks.
