Hello Robert, You know what's funny: The Bat DOES continue uploaden the messages, but without showing it in the Connection Centre! I noticed this morning that a folder where the upload was aborted yesterday was suddenly filled. Trying your MOVE-method I just found out that after The Bat drops the IMAP connection the upload stops for a while. But as soon as it reconnects to the IMAP server for checking mail, the upload continues. Without the Connection Centre telling you! I just noticed by the decreasing message count of the folder I was moving from.
Now here is the big drawback (and in fact a serious bug that should be fixed ASAP): Of a folder containing 610 messages, only 603 had arrived on the server! As I had MOVED the messages, 7 messages were lost. Some further testing showed that sometimes when The Bat drops the connection, it does delete the local message it was just uploading, even though it has not completely arrived at the server. So the server discards the half-uploaded message (which is correct) and The Bat deletes it also, even though it was not completely uploaded (which is a serious bug!). What a crappy implementation is this?! Imagine Windows moving files from one drive to another, suddenly stopping for no reason, then resuming in the background without telling you, and deleting some files even though they never arrive at the destination. And now the worst part: If this happened, Microsoft would fix it asap. However, I estimate the chances of this being fixed in The Bat within the next year at somewhere around 3%. -- Best regards, Carsten mailto:[email protected] ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.2.10.12 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
