Hi Bob, it is a completely different story if we at least partially accept that TB's IMAP implementation is not perfect. And I can say that I'm using TB! for years anyway.
Nevertheless the stability of TB! IMAP connection and some other issues are being discussed for years now. In some versions it seems that Ritlabs made some progress and with the next version it is even worse. All I'm saying is that we're waiting for years now and it's really time to improve ( not to say goodbye). Greetings am Sonntag, 8.
