The betas do seem promising. I haven't had any problems with the view modes yet (using CE). I think taking a step back, doing the fresh install, and coming to The Bat in a different way really opened my eyes. > When you initially create the IMAP account, local 'Sent Mail', > 'Outbox' and 'Trash' mailboxes are created.

Why did you have to create corresponding IMAP mailboxes? I already have IMAP folders on the server, and am simply synching them with TB. In face, TB calls the Sent folder Sent Mail, so I have to go into the IMAP settings and set Sent Mail to sync with the server-side folder 'Sent.'

My knowledge of subscribing to IMAP folders is based almost exclusively on how its implemented in Horde's IMP web-based IMAP mail. It sounds like what you've described is how I understood "subscribing" to be, but the web interface I had been using may have caused some confusion. Here's a bigger, more important question: I have discovered that I can use IMAP on both laptop (v2 CE) and desktop (v1.62r) and when I send mail from the laptop a message gets stored in the Sent folder server-side. When I invoke Dispatcher on my desktop and select Sent from the drop-down, I can then download mail I sent while I was away from my desk. And it downloads correctly to the local Sent folder. Until I discovered the manual sync of the Sent folder, I had been sending Bcc copies when I sent out mail from my laptop to a special sent@ address I set up. When I returned to my desktop, that mail would get filters to the Sent folder. But this seems redundant and unnecessary with IMAP. What I'd like to know is this: will this be improved if I upgrade my desktop to v2? I'd like to just synch the IMAP folder automatically. It appears that this is easy to do with v2, but I wanted to make sure before I took the plunge and said good-bye to v1 forever. ;) -- Ken Green Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
