thread back from the dead:
first, thanks for all of the input and wise suggestions
I am going crazy with Thunderbird, and Claws too.
Now Claws has a calendar add-on, did not try it but maybe it will
suffice.
My longtime web and email host support have been struggling to help
me, Kudos to webmasters dot com
the Kudos was premature. they provided unclear/wrong instructions.
I said screw it and did "the wrong thing" and expected to loose the
copious pent-up messages, but it Did Work. I'm good.
IMP vs POP ...the "web" seems to reverse the definitions! I don't know
who to trust
I really want to keep messages on their server, space is Not an issue.
Question: with IMAP is it feasible for a mail client to Leave messages
on the server?
My question was incomplete. I should have added that I must have local
copies of almost everything, for Me to filter an purge.

lately I have been struggling with that, trying to get it to be My

Tbird still sucks in several ways. However the many alternatives suck
worse in my opinion. Old dogs and all of that.
also the .msf files have gotten Huge and that hinders rapid and easy
backups.
In the process I would like to do some housekeeping, fix a few
filters and rearrange my copious folders.
Question: do you folks recommend migrating to Claws Mail?
the initial look and feel seems to be familiar and comfortable, but I
know little of the history and stability.
secondly, will I be missing the basic features such as Filters?
thanks in advance.
