I wouldn't say it is broken, it is just being used outside of its design parameters ;) > (assuming for now the driver doesn't expect this, which is the case > for roundcube and large mail boxes). The case of RC and large mailboxes is more like running out of fuel in a car, you should see it coming. That was the premise of my post. Granted, the "fuel gauge" is in a text config file buried in the server somewhere. I was attempting to explain how to interpret the error and that the result was not totally unexpected if you understand what is going on. > Roundcube has other benefits thunderbird doesn't have (like being > accessible everywhere) and uses it, in a way, to advertise.

However, a desktop app is not the same as a web app. Particularly comparing a web app _almost_ at 0.1 and a desktop app that is at version 2.x. > "Inherently broken" doesn't mean "it doesn't matter", it just means > "can't be fixed". Some people jump to "Inherently broken" when the problem is really "I don't understand what is going on" which is what I was attempting to explain. > And that "bug" /can/ be fixed. I'm sure the RC developers would appreciate a patch with those changes.
