I think that BATs implementation of IMAP is "totally flawed". I also discovered, that if I delete message in BAT, they are not deleted from the IMAP folder.
It appears that BAT simply copies new messages from the server using IMAP, and after that, it's no different than using POP. While it is perfectly reasonable to have a local cache of messages, all object (messages, folders) reside on the server and the local cache should be transparent (it should only exist for performance). BAT seems like a good mail tool, but unless the IMAP implementation is fixed, I won't be using.
