Hello BatPersons

Recently Allie M said re IMAP accounts...

"then try deleting the local cache for the IMAP
folders since there may be a problem with them. To do this, right
click each IMAP folder and select Properties. The 'clear cache now'
button is there on the Properties panel. DO NOT use the 'empty folder'
option to do this. This will empty the IMAP folders contents *on the
server*. "

'Smiled when I saw this.  AM doubtless had some stupid person in mind:
 Me!  ;-)   Yes...I did this (used empty folder) when going thru
 mega-woes with TB!....

 But!...I had a 'mirror' of the messages I wanted/needed in the IMAP
 folders in another mailer I use (ThunderBird).

 BTW, TB! incl my IMAP account therein is going well at present: no
 'runtime' error messages, no 'error reading database' messages...

 Still not sure why all this happened...Possibly multifactorial (as
 most 'diseases' are...).  Cleaning up Win 98 (running various
 maintenance procedures...which I do regularly anyway) may have been
 one part of the cure.  Threatening WinDoze with going entirely over
 to Linux (Xandros) may also have had a salutary effect...;-)

One serious point tho:  when I was reinstalling TB! over and over
again...this time ver 2.10.03...then ver 2.11.x... over and over
again...I was using copies of the program in my downloads folder on my
hard drive....  Then I downloaded a 'fresh' copy from Ritlabs...and
the problems went away....Coincidence??  I am wondering if somehow the
copies of the program on my hard rive somehow got corrupted...Just a
thought...

BTW...I am feeling very positive about IMAP in TB! at present....  IMAP
in Thunderbird is perhaps simpler...and maybe more stable...but IMAP
in TB is pretty good now as well methinks... and, in TB! fashion..very
configurable...

And TB seems to be about the fastest mailer I have ever used...and I
have used a few ...
