Hello Robin, RA> Hmm, I don't think that I really understand what synchronising and RA> subscribing mean in relation to IMAP. Can you explain it, or point to a web RA> resource that does So
IMAP subscription defines the set of folders (mailboxes in IMAP terms) you want to read often. For example, your company's IMAP server provides access to numerous shared folders available, but you need to check only some of them, so you subscribe to your personal folders and those several shared folders you are going to read. Synchronisation is a bit more tricky. Basically, The Bat! always synchronises message headers in the folders you visit, so if you have a speedy and permanent connection, you don't need to use any explicit synchronisation, it will actually slow down your work because synchronisation is a relatively slow process which blocks other operations (such a reading, copying, moving, setting flags etc) until it finishes. But in some cases you may want to have local copies of some folders with full messages or you get offline often, in this case synchronisation helps you to download data before you go offline by one click while you are shaving, having breakfast or choosing a tie (but not when you wish to read some emails right now). -- Best regards, Stefan ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
