I do. That's why I think the Draft folder would be a good addition to
being able to Drag 'n Drop a message to Oubox for resending it.
the one for my, the other for other needs.

Because I hate fiddling with the mouse for hitting the small menu item,
when there's the possibility of an easier solution.
Don't get me wrong, I do use the mouse, I do use the RMB, but I also do
make use of Drag 'n Drop when possible ;-)

I beg to differ. In my opinion it will neither be easier nor less energy
consuming; Me personally would prefer DnD :-)

I do use the keyboard, but somehow I never got the shortcur for "Resend"
into my mind. That's one of the few I can't remember, maybe because I
don't use it a minimum of once a day. That nevertheless does not mean I
don't need it.

As said: not necessarily once or more a day, but I nevertheless don't
see the need to restrict me, WHEN I want (or need) to do.
As I said: I'm "pro Draft folder" as it fulfills some requirements, but
I'm to "pro Copy/Move to Outbox", as it's good for other things.
I don't see the problem if both is implemented, those who don't want to
resend a message by putting it into Outbox don't have to make use of it,
those who do use it can be protected from accidentally sending the
message by OPF ... Where's the concrete conflict? Where's the reason why
OPF must not exist and copying/moving to Outbox should be forbidden?

I have a hard day ahead so I won't have time for many discussions today,

I'm sure it can be done with templates and/or folder identities.

But then the "outbox protection feature" has to be implemented also, and
that 'dirty trick' is precisely what I was trying to avoid by suggestion
the implementation of a Draft folder now.

As I said in one of my last messages last night, I can perfectly live
without a Drafts folder and with OPF. I'm just thinking about the so
called 'average users' and the novice ones to come (which I want to be
many so TB's continued development will never be in danger). I'm quite
sure that almost every TB user, including ourselves, where quite annoyed
the very first time we saved a draft and then could not find a Drafts
folder. Just like most people would be annoyed if their spam and viruses
ended up in Outbox instead of in Junk and Quarantine folders, even if
they were _parked_ as 'Junk' or 'Virus'.

But this still does not solve my problem, that the Outbox over-rides
my AB templates. And there is no way to counter that problem except to
have another careful look at the headers.

As I wrote to Maxim, I have several different PGP-signing macros in
various templates in the AB:

Sign Complete
Sign and Encrypt Complete
No Sign Complete

As soon as my message is in the Outbox and I re-open it for editing
purposes, the Account settings for Privacy kick in, over-riding my AB
preferences as MicroEd does not when used in any other circumstance
than re-opening a message in the Outbox.

Good thinking.

And in an editable Draft folder, presumably the code would not have
the folder over-ride my AB template settings with Account folder
settings. At present, the Outbox does this, when I re-open a message
from it for more editing.

Extremely well put! These problems need an elegant solution that works
intuitively for _most_ people. I too have the multiple account sending
problem that Dwight has but that situation is clearly an exception and
must be managed as an exception. It is the price we pay for putting
ourselves in that position. I am growing weary of the seeming lack of
vision for the broad picture that affects most users.

When I expose a new customer to TB! I tell them up front that it is
quirky and the Help is horrendous but if they will hang in there while
I get them trained they will have a tremendously _safe_ tool at their
disposal. Let's correct the "quirks" and give _more_ control to the
user instead of wresting away what they already have.

And of course it should.  Actually it seems to me that somebody
mentioned using a local outbox helps, and it did, but I still ended up
not using the feature.  I am reminded of the last time I tried to move
a folder up in the server hierarchy.  I ended up deleting my folder
preferences file to get TB back to normal.  Not sure if that has been
fixed.  I haven't noticed it being mentioned in the beta release notes. 

I confess I am currently using Becky because so many things that don't
work have made TB unusable for me.  

Becky has two very nice features where you can add notes to a message
that stand out as notes, and you can specify keywords that appear
marked wherever they appear in messages.  These don't work in Becky for
IMAP either.  

Yes, I understand that IMAP is much more difficult to work with than POP. 
But from a user standpoint, these lapses are simply unforgivable.

I once told Slaven Radich of Pocomail that I would pay $160 (I chose
that figure because it is twice the cost of his high end product) for a
really good complete IMAP implementation.  He is far from claiming the
prize.  So are all the rest.

By server hierarchy, are you still talking about behavior in IMAP?

I paid attention to your complaint, before, when you first posted
about this happening to you, and although I would like to rearrange
the Account Tree (folder hierarchy) in my own two Accounts (which are
POP3--I don't run IMAP), I restrained myself from further
drag-and-drop of them, lest I lose something that would be hard to put
back.

If this is only applying to IMAP, then I may get brave and rearrange
the order of a few more folders to make the Account Tree more
convenient for me.

Comments?

Apparently it's working okay for POP in beta v. 3.63.08.

I created a new folder under my Inbox. I have dragged two Inbox
folders into the new folder as subfolders.

From another folder, I dragged three subfolders out and placed them as
Inbox folders.

No problems with any of these operations. I used Alt plus
drag-and-drop for them.

So it's apparently only an IMAP server folders problem.

No, different issue. A Drafts folder will still allow you to open the

So, I'm in favour of a Drafts folder, but I still want to be able to
move or copy to the Outbox.

Hello everyone,

can anyone reproduce the following error (I can, every time). Using 3.63.08
here. Be aware that IF you can reproduce the error, you can't use TB
anymore and have to kill it with the task manager.

0. TB in fullscreen mode (thats how I'm using it all the time)

1. start downloading mails (POP3) - you should have some on the server
   for this to happen.

2. while the download is running (thats important), open the account log
   (the small "down" arrow in the lower right screen next to the "plain" or
   "OTFE" text) - you have to be quick...

3. while the mails are downloaded, the open account log is redrawn out
   of the screen!

4. get a "List index out of bounds (208)" error requester that I can NOT
   get rid of except with the three finger salute to kill TB from the task
   manager.

Monday, December 12, 2005 
you let us know -at least in parts- :

>   What's the point of th Drafts folder if there is "draft" per-message flag 
> in the Outbox?

It is a point of view: You expect from a folder named "outbox" to
contain only mails ready to be sent within the next cycle. It is
clearly, simple and there is nothing more to explain about it. And a
folder named "draft" says what is in it: raw mails, partly finished, not
yet in the condition to be sent, or, expressed in more general terms,
still on the way to become a real mail -or not and in that case ready
for deletion. No one would have to care for correct flags to be set or
not, no one would have to check an outbox for messages in another
condition that the only logical one: ready for sending.


>   We cal alter the "outbox protection feature" to automatically mark

Alter the feature to MAU's suggestion which is smarter, simpler and all
is plain to see and no one needs a helpfile to refer to (which is still
missing)

Rubbish. Following MAU's idea would kill two birds with one stone. Why
do you spend so much energy to such an extent in keeping a widely
unwanted feature alive instead of giving the smarter idea a try?

Good point, too. That's why I use Opera and TB. Both tools give back the

We are nagged more and more by pop-ups stealing our time and attracting

Trained by the MS way of life (continuously pressing Ok, OK, OK without
reading the mostly senseless dialogue boxes) there I see indeed a danger.

Here I am. I have to hold back my emotions not being sarcastic in
commenting Maxim's suggestion.

I tend to say that all other ways that differ much from Miguel's idea
will diminish the daily fun it is having TB in use. TB already is
overcharged with features, what we need is a way to make things a bit
easier to use and more practical.

Encrypting mails and signing them would be a lot easier - well, as you
describe it, it would make it finally happen you _can_ alter a message
in the draft folder without templates kicking in.

Hello all,

Let's see, TB creates Inbox, Inbox-Known, Outbox, Sent Mail and Trash
folders, all of them with an specific purpose and quite intuitive. If
needed TB will also create Junk and Quarantine folders, also intuitive.

You, as a user, can then create an unlimited amount of Account and
Common folders, both of which can in turn be normal or virtual folders.
You can also create sub-folders of any type and to any level of
deepness. And there is even a special type of virtual folder that can be
created called Watch Folder (quite useful BTW for mailing lists and
newsgroups).

Q: And where is the Drafts folder, doesn't TB have a Drafts folder?

A: Nah! You don't need one. Your drafts are saved in Outbox, mixed with
other messages waiting to be sent but with a special park flag which
will prevent them from being unintentionally sent. Of course, if you
manually park any message in Outbox you won't be able to tell the
difference between Parked and Draft messages. But aren't you being a bit
picky about TB?

I had to write it :)

I agree. Regardless of the solution the problem is an exception that

Why would anyone park a message in Outbox if not for later editing???

If  it  was  there  what harm would it do? If you didnt want to use it
then noone would force you... It would just be an extra folder.

At  this point I should point out that i am not bothered either way by
a draft folder's possible existence.

I am glad you are not speaking for me. I often compile a message for
future sending and 'park' it in the Outbox for a day or two. If I had
a Drafts folder I wouldn't be mixing my "waiting to send" stuff with
the "waiting for editing stuff". We are talking about all kinds of
people in all types of circumstances, especially those who haven't
"gotten used to it."

Ok, then I should campaign for a "Hungarian", "Russian", etc folder...
Because I have different emailing habits..(?)

Why do you MIX the waiting to send stuff with waiting for editing
stuff One type has the parking flag (hourglass), the other does
not...)

Re: Drafts folder - what's the point?

2005-12-13 Thread Neal Laugman
Hi Maxim

Can't stand it anymore and have to jump in :) Just like many things in
life, it is a matter of perception.

> What's the point of th Drafts folder if there is "draft" per-message
> flag in the Outbox?

Even though I _know_ that message is parked in the Outbox, it is in
the place where all account mail leaves my control. Makes me
uncomforatble. So what do I do? I write my drafts in text and save
them outside of TB.

> There are mail clients that have a separate Drafts folder, but this

I have kept drafts in Thunderbird, and never resorted to saving
externally.

Still won't use it. I never use Inbox - Known but have been staring at
it for years. Just a matter of user choice.

+1 for the Draft folder.

Thanks for this tip. I can now also read one Polish site where I couldn't see up to now Polish letters!
Templates seems to work now, only for the template of a Polish mailinglist I have to set the language in the regional settings to Polish!
When I open the addressbook I don't see Polish letters. I can see them, however, when I open the preferences for this address!
