Guten Morgen,
MJS> Let me bite on this one! You're very welcome. <g> MJS> Now I really hope someone in the list can confirm or otherwise that MJS> RITLAbs is working on full IMAP support for v4.1 There are mails from the beta-list where RIT promises just that. Like they did for v4.0. And 3.5. And 3.0, if I remember corretly. I haven't been around for IMAP any earlier, so I can't speak to what happened then. They mentioned that they would have to redesign the message base format to properly support IMAP and that they would tackle this in v4.1 (which at this time is intended to be a non-free update, by the way.) MJS> because I have a lot of trouble understanding "but generally it MJS> works", when it clearly does NOT! It's like being a little bit MJS> pregnant, either you are or you aren't. That's funny - this is what came to my mind word by word. I absolutely agree: To be used in any serious environment IMAP doesn't have to work at just one time, it has to work _every_ time. Even "most of the time" would hardly be enough, since this still can mean the difference between closing that deal in time or loosing money on it big time because you literally never got the message. MJS> I will go so far as to say it will be difficult for TB to retain the MJS> crown as a credible alternative in the corporate arena without IMAP support. The way I see it this crown has been passed on quite some time ago. There was a time when email was POP3 and TheBat hat the works for corporate grade. Today, corporate email is either Exchange or IMAP. TheBat/Exchange is incomplete (no calendar management so our corporate client will use Outlook anyway) and TheBat/IMAP is unreliable. It might as well not exist. MJS> Frankly none of RITLAbs answers satisfies me, so maybe we can MJS> shame someone there into giving us hope this matter will be MJS> resolved soon. I tried that, belive me. It seems the problem is that only one or two guys from RIT even understand english, so you can throw anything at them without any effect. Again, I've walked that road. -- MfG, Alto mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
