I'm familiar with this quirky behaviour and there's really nothing we as users can do about it. I found it very distracting and annoying but my senses are now acclimatized to it. :/ The current nature of TB!'s IMAP is that it's really unpredictable how well it will work for you. It may work as well as it can within the scope of its current functionality, it may not work well enough to be usable, or it may work to the point where it's useable but some of the functionality is broken. I guess this depends on the variability of how the various servers respond to TB! and how TB! interacts with them. Good clients to try and compare with how TB! handles IMAP are ThunderBird and Mulberry. If you use those, you'll experience solid IMAP support. You'll then be better able to understand what TB! is doing flakily or entirely fails to do. I currently use ThunderBird where TB! doesn't work well, i.e., at work while TB! works well enough at home. IMO, even at a basic level of usability, IMAP is definitely still a work in progress. However, I have confidence in the development teams abilities to optimize it and have it working well. I just hope the timeliness of development goes our way and the way of others who are interested in using IMAP. -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.10.01 on WinXP Pro (SP1)
