IMAP managing imap folders
I created a new folder using the web interface of my imap provider. When I reset my folder list in TB! it did not appear. The folder name included the '-' character, which is a dash or hypen or something (not using those words as words of art). When I renamed the folder to remove the - it worked fine. Didn't test to see what other non-alpha characters caused the same problem. -- Dwight A.

I hope, I dont offend anybody. I hope, Ritlabs are reading it too. Just went thru some mails and I hope I can rationalize why Ritlabs should work on IMAP. I dont know how much extra resources, development money you got in Chisinau. If you have plenty, stop reading, and spend time as you wish. If you do need to earn money from The Bat! sales, read on. Email chat, postponed messaging, view modes... They dont sell The Bat!. The Bat! sales are due for excellent filtering (it seems that we have problems with this too, now, I am not sure), multiple email handling, spell checking in multiple languages, templates!, mass mailing, inventive ideas and sometimes working with Exchange. The question in my profession is always this: what is the next big thing? And do that. What is the next big thing for an email client? If I am hearing right, a reliable, correct IMAP support with the filtering, etc. of The Bat! would be a big hit. Why? Nu such thing exists yet. So, if Ritlabs would spend time to do this, that would be unique. Yeah, postponing is unique I guess, but "who gives a sh.t." Quote from actual users. They dont use it. So, the question Ritlabs has to decide: be it a pet project, do what you think is good and needed, or be a corporate project where you satisfy the market. I used to see this and that sometimes, nowadays it all looks like a pet project to me. No offense. I try to help as Dieter Hummel tried to help you guys back in 2001 and 2002. He gave up, I try not to. There is still hope. I think, some of the guys on this BETA list work hard for you RITLABS, so they ... (I cant remember the right word here..., "you earned to be answered to") a straighforward answer from you guys. We are f..king tired to read always that "after this, after that" we will do this. And those things will never happen. You lose trust and respect. You lose the good guys and sonner or later all you will have after a beta release is some "up and running" beta testers.

I chose IMAP on a clean install of the latest release. The Bat shows the counter of how many unread messages and the total number of messages. It does not show any messages other than the one the software sends you when you install, nor does it show the folders that have been created. When clicking on the counter the count disappears and only comes back when restarting The Bat.

Hello tbbeta, Since the last few betas and the release candidates, I have found that IMAP is not working as well as it used to.

I hope you all find it as informative as I did! LG> - Why did you decide to write an e-mail client package? We started using e-mail in the end of 1996 when I was away from the rest of other RITLABS guys and when Internet service providing had just started in our country. Before that, I was extensively using FidoNet mailing. I was surprised that none of the e-mail clients I tried was satisfactory for me (though I did not do a lot of mailing) - the main complaint was the absence of templates. So, when I came back, the first program I wrote was a small gateway program to convert Internet e-mail into FidoNet Netmail to read Internet messages using an FTN mail reader, and finally came to the conclusion that the next program I will write would be an e-mail client which will suit my needs plus fulfill the suggestions of my colleagues. In February 1997, we were expecting a big job from the Moldavian Air Traffic Service Authority, but they never came through with the final decision. While we were waiting, I started writing The Bat! (codenamed A-mailer), the first quick and dirty version was ready in one month, when no company came up with a good job for us, we decided to release The Bat! to public and announce it from our site as a Wide Area Beta. LG> - Did you base it from another e-mail client package? If you mean something intentional, then the answer is no. :-) Some interface details like the three-panel main window were used in Netscape, PM Mail and several other clients, so it was just like making a car - some common (and considered as natural) principles were used, but it is not possible to say that a particular package was used as a "prototype". LG> - Why did you choose the name "The Bat!"? Almost because it does not contain the word "mail" :-) Pigeons are too heavily used as postal mascots... About that time, we were listening a lot of Meat Loaf with his albums "The Bat Out The Hell" and "The Bat Out The Hell II", so I think that this was the real cause to choose such a name :-) LG> - What is the goal of your software? To make life easier :-) LG> - How long/much do you work every day on TB? It depends on what do you mean by working on TB. We don't do only programming. A lot of time is spent supporting users via e-mail, so it can be from 8 to 20 hours :-) LG> Do you have other jobs in addition to RIT Labs? No, we own RITLABS and we work here exclusively. LG> - Do you have any corporate philosophy on your products? Yes. :-) The most important thing about our philosophy is that we always help each member of our company (or at least to not interfere) to unleash his potential and express himself. LG> - How is RIT Labs structured? Currently, 6 people are working at RITLABS including Max and myself: 4 programmers and 2 administrators/managers/promoters/etc. We are not a usual enterprise - we are almost a team of enthusiasts/hobbyists who is also making some money out of what they do. :-) LG> Who works there?

Hi all, I see that importing mail to an IMAP mailbox/folder leads to the messages being added only to the local cache.

So, if Ritlabs would spend time to do this, that would be ...but I am afraid this analysis is wrong. IMAP, as a selling point, might have been a big thing, but some 5-10 years ago, when email still had value in itself. Now: - kids don't care about email (which tells you a bit about what to expect in the future), - enterprises care about more than just email -- collaboration is important (Outlook+Exchange is going to have an edge over TB! here), Now, it's too late. Ritlabs did not care about it when still had time. Do you think they will change anything now, when it's too late (and they know it)? I doubt it. Don't get me wrong. IMAP *is* important, for power users. This is not the majority of users but still (probably) a viable market share. It's just not the next big thing. The thing is that some people simply stopped waiting (because they understood there's no chance Ritlabs will ever have a working IMAP implementation) and moved on. IMAP makes it easy. You trust your server, you don't care about your client (as long as it works). They still use TB! but as soon as it starts to misbehave they take a different client. Day after day, the change continues to happen. We (this includes me) stopped paying. I don't think Ritlabs cares about it. Many people (who genuinely don't need IMAP or simply zealots) stayed. This is what makes keeping this ghost project alive viable for them (for some more time, at least). In any case, I very much doubt you will ever see a working IMAP implementation in this product. -- Best regards, Robert Tomanekmailto:tbb...@mail.robert.tomanek.org Current beta is 4.1.14.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

If > I am hearing right, a reliable, correct IMAP support with the > filtering, etc. of The Bat! would be a big hit. Why? Nu such thing > exists yet. Right, it does not exist. One reason is that it is devilishly hard to do. A number of clients have tried. There was some indication in the Mulberry support list a while back that the people who are responsible for the Imap specification were thinking of revising the standard to make it simpler because so many client and server authors have had so much trouble getting it right. That idea is likely to not get past the daydream stage, says Cyrus Daboo. But I maintain that The Bat Imap is much much better than it was just a few years ago. All that remains of the old quirkiness for me is the occasional Ctrl-c to refresh folder contents. I am a long time intensive Imap user, and I make significant technical demands of my Imap client, but I don't think it is true that there is a herd of languishing Imap users out there dying for a good imap client. A cluster maybe. Far and away, most users use POP, and until ISP email server change, that will be the way it is. Imap remains the domain of institutional email, and that is still the smaller percentage. Actually, the new thing on the email horizon is Webmail, I fear. Young people seem to universally prefer it. Nothing to learn, nothing to fix. It just works, and when it doesn't, somebody else must fix it. Sad to say. > So, if Ritlabs would spend time to do this, that would be > unique.

Hi Gleason, >> If I am hearing right, a reliable, correct IMAP support with the >> filtering, etc. of The Bat! would be a big hit. Why? Nu such thing >> exists yet. GP> Right, it does not exist. One reason is that it is devilishly hard to GP> do. If that was true, Thunderbird wouldn't have been able to offer basic, yet reliable IMAP support from the start. In a development time of less then a year a system has been established that outperforms the decades-old TheBat hands down. Where Thunderbird lacks is the user interface, not the behind-the-scenes engine. If you combined Thunderbird's IMAP engine and TheBat's user interface, you would be good to go. So difficulty can't be a factor. If IMAP were prohibitivly difficult, Thunderbird wouldn't have been able to make that glorious a debut. If user interface was a problem, TheBat wouldn't already have it. There are no outside factors preventing RIT from fixing TheBat's IMAP. It is pure choice on their side. The fact that they have chosen to ignore IMAP users can only be a signal that they're not (or no longer) targeting corporate users. No excuses can be made up, it's just that. GP> But I maintain that The Bat Imap is much much better than it was GP> just a few years ago. For one, it could hardly get worse. For second, today other things are failing than a few years ago: Where with earlier versions e.g. the "maintenance center", a seldom used niche function, wasn't working for IMAP, today TheBat stops checking IMAP accounts for new email half way during the day without telling the user so. Written emails are not going out. Mails that are being sent still linger in the outbox afterwards. The new "IMAP threads" freeze the program each time they're executing, so you have to pause in reading (=scrolling) or writing mails. I wouldn't sign your statement. GP> Actually, the new thing on the email horizon is Webmail, I fear. GP> Young people seem to universally prefer it. Nothing to learn, GP> nothing to fix. It just works, and when it doesn't, somebody else GP> must fix it. Yes, I agree with you there. Most users with an "IMAP-demand-profile" are already accustomed to using server-side filtering (no need for TheBat's filtering), being reminded about appointments by the server (no need for TheBat's scheduler), not to have any backup strategy (no need for TheBat's backup mechanism), and to use folders on the server (no need for TheBat's "virtual folders" and stuff.) TheBat is a dinosaur from the POP3 world which lives its last years as a scrapout for private, non mission-critical use. That's why emphasis is being placed on gimcrack like "delayed message sending" these days. There's an additional catch: Private users don't pay for an email program. They either "aquire" it for free, or, if they are unable to, they use the webmail interface that is free. Hence RIT can integrate anti-scanning-engines in TheBat all they like, but they won't make a single additional buck either way. Corporate (or serious private) users are the ones actually paying for programs they use. But in return they demand a reliable product. With TheBat, they're not getting one. RIT's mistake is (or even "has been", who knows how far on that trail they've already gone) to target the wrong customer segment. I wouldn't buy any RIT stock, because it is bound to take a dive in the next few years. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Alto Speckhardt mailto:alto.speckha...@gmx.de TheBat v4.1.11 pgpsaHX8g2m1L.pgp Description: PGP signature Current beta is 4.1.14.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

You can not be serious, because Thunderbird is based on code from Mozilla Suite, so Thunderbird had IMAP support from start, but code was 6 years old! I do not know, how hard is to increase stability and interoperability with IMAP servers, which have often problems with IMAP implementation, but agree, this is important and I hope, Ritlabs will be successful.

Re: IMAP
Hi Marek, MM> You can not be serious, because Thunderbird is based on code from MM> Mozilla Suite, so Thunderbird had IMAP support from start, but MM> code was 6 years old! I admit that I'm not all that familiar with how Thunderbird came to be, how much code was taken over from Netscape and how much was newly designed. All I heard was that the code released by Netscape would be so bad that it almost couldn't be used for any new project. From that I assumed that Thunderbird would be to a good degree fresh code instead of old, grown code. In any case, Thunderbird has emerged virtually over night and did many things very right, much better than TheBat in the IMAP department. Additionally, if Thunderbird is indeed based on the open code from Netscape, RIT could have used that code as well. MM> I do not think, Ritlabs could ever focus to corporate users, because MM> corporate area needs groupware features and I do not expect, TB will be MM> ever groupware product. But a full-featured Exchange server is an expensive thing. It also needs to be administered, which is also not too trivial a task. Small to mid-sized companies often don't want to burden themselves, if they happen not to depend much on shared appointments. If I sit next to a guy in the same office, I don't need a groupware application - we pin a calendar to the wall and do our planning there. For everything else shared file folders will do just fine, a Sharepoint server is close to overkill. We still need email, though, and maybe we both need access to the common company email adress. For this task, IMAP is fully sufficient and not oversized either. After all, it can be a form of groupware, too. This could be TheBat's market share: Somewhere between the casual private user, who won't be able to gain from TheBat's advanced features anyway and the large companies for whose there is no alternative to a full-grown groupware system. MM> What do You think about HTML templates? this is most requested feature here MM> by small companies using OE and Outlook. Well, personally I'm a text-only ASCII-hardcore kind of guy. (I started in Fidonet back then, if this gives you any idea. ;-) ) For me different fonts (like the shading TheBat does with the signature) are a luxury and anything graphical or even html in email is devil's work. Even in the office I'm not even using html, I still write plain text emails. I don't know how long I can still keep this up, though. Whether I like it or not, today emails are no longer just carrier of information (as I like to use them) but also a sort of comercial for your interests. Depending on how you use email, the choice may no longer be yours. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Alto Speckhardt mailto:alto.speckha...@gmx.de TheBat v4.1.11 pgpeekL5xdK29.pgp Description: PGP signature Current beta is 4.1.14.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The only problem is that it has now become an excuse. Because *now* there are fewer people interested in IMAP than there might have been -- so no need to implement it anymore, right? So what once might have been a decision (or lack thereof), now has become an excuse. What's funny here, is that generally all excuses on IMAP are usually mentioned by, well, "passionate users" always advocating what Ritlabs is doing (or not doing which is, as we learn, also a good thing). Ritlabs do not really comment on that (apart from the traditional "IMAP will be improved in next version" but well, no one treats this seriously, including them, I guess). > I think I need to do another test series to see if Outlook really is > that bad in daily use.

And it seems we both use Fastmail, and I have had no problem creating new folders. It is true that TB's folder counts aren't accurate, and TB doesn't report new mail well, but I never need to restart it. I never loose my FM connection unless DSL or FM itself is down. I have found that seeming poor Imap reliability in all email clients has a lot to do with connection configuration. This works for me in TB: both in and out are set to use Secure To Dedicated Port, 465 for in and 993 for out. As for folder counts, I can get good counts with other clients but they are lacking some other things that TB does. There is no such thing as a client that does everything well. I have decided to use Fastcheck to tell me when new mail arrives http://www.fastcheck.org/ regardless of what client I am using. That way, that particular feature can be disregarded in favor of other more important ones when deciding on an email client. > While TB! continues to suit me better than other apps, partly at least > out of habit, if I ever found an app which really handled IMAP well, > I'd be gone.

IMAP Synchronization
Hi Everyone, On the new alpha .53, I notice two items: 1. When I go to the "manage IMAP folders" window for my gmail IMAP account to make sure that I have subscribed to all folder (except for "all mail"), the window shows all the Gmail IMAP folders but it does NOT show the Inbox (although mail certainly arrives in my inbox). 2. For the last few messages I have sent out, two copies of each show up in the "sent mail" folder - one of each being a little bigger than its twin by a few bytes. And one of each pair (the one with the larger number of bytes) can't be deleted using the trash can icon.

Testing IMAP
Hello Tbbeta, Ok here should be the solution to One problem that nags me since very long. Let me explain: Sure you remember that my postings send from TB! using POP did not reach this list. So what I had to do is to send eMails from the Browser. I didn't like it as I had to manually set (under Settings) the reply-to address. That was very time consuming and if I forgot to remove it when writing to someone else, then this list should have received the answer. Of course it didn't as an error was returned to the sender. So the idea now is to have this account as IMAP (currently parallel with the old POP) and I want to see if I can write to the list. I suppose this works as I am - like using the browser - accessing and sending eMails directly at gMail. Why have I not thought of this solution earlier! Using IMAP allows me now to insert the reply-to very easy and I presume with Macro too. Anyway, if this post arrives to the list please reply as to confirm the arrival. Thank you. -- Best regards, Eddie mailto:50minco...@gmail.com Current beta is 5.0.30.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi TBBETA Seems that I run also into problems with the IMAP timeout. When the timeout time is over I can't access the IMAP server to get or to send mail.

Hello, Saturday, December 29, 2007, 4:52:53 PM, you wrote: > Been away from TheBat! for some time, come back to find that imap is > still very poor. Is the v4 series any better? As many people have noticed, despite it being promised multiple times, IMAP support has never really been delivered. What we have now is some kind of quick patch which tries to use IMAP server as if it was a POP3 one (fun to watch how it behaves with larger mailboxes, several tens of thousands messages). Basic functionality is unstable (message counters, refreshing, basic operations on large batches of data) or outright buggy. The Bat! is unusable as an IMAP client in its current state. I use it only as a dumb browser, moving more and more functionality to the server side. Example: filters; I went for Sieve filtering since in The Bat! it was unusable: exactly the same filter worked on one PC but did not work on another one. I am not even mentioning 'advanced' IMAP features like keywords, etc. I am writing this just to voice my (any many other people's) opinion, especially that I see there are some claims that The Bat!'s IMAP support is complete and working. This is not true. I fail to see why some people try to defend it, no matter whether it makes sense or not; make false claims like 'filtering works' (hint: if it worked for you, it does not mean it works for everybody); I just want to say that IMAP is completely broken in The Bat! Ritlabs' promises have not been forgotten, though I sincerely doubt they will ever make IMAP support better. They had many chances for doing so but they never succeeded or at least showed reasonable interest in it. Now they even stopped promising... To sum it up: as for me, I have lost any hope in this regard. I think no one should be expecting IMAP support in The Bat! in forseeable future. Sadly, this applies to other things too, like proper quality control (I've never seen that many bugs, especially regressions which should be easy to check, in any other piece of software); I am currently only upgrading because I hope the next version will be less buggy.

We, the admins and IT pros, KNOW how IMAP works. And you know what? There is *nothing* special about it. It's not a rocket science. Without IMAP extensions it can be easily implemented as fast as in 3-4 months time by the group of 5 students. I KNOW that because I've DONE IT during couple of my projects. As for TB's! IMAP most of the problems are related due to the fact that it was written like a wrapper to POP3. IMAP just doesn't work that way and never will. If I were a product manager at RitLabs I've done one of the things: a) Split POP3 and IMAP TB! into two separate products. POP3 version with all the advanced filters, virtual folders, etc. into one. And IMAP version with simple IMAP, sync properties on every folder, server side outbox, etc. into another. This way programmers will not have to deal with such tasks as "combine IMAP syncronization with advanced regexp filters". Most of the IMAP users doesn't use them anyway. b) Limit some of the client side functionality depending on the protocol you use. This gives same advantages as above. Of course RitLabs will never admit that they just failed to deliver what was promised 5 years ago. They will keep changing GUI and charging for "new redesigned look of the product", but below that, it's the same rotten courpse of what they call "engine".

Actually, this is not correct. Mulberry is by far the best, most complete, and most capable IMAP client. Unfortunately, it has an outdated GUI and complex configuration. I, personally, have fairly good luck with TB's IMAP but I do everything server-side. My complaints about IMAP, however, are reflected by most everyone else's: odd message counts, improper display of deleted messages, and so forth.

The issues you point out have nothing to do with its ability to handle IMAP (and, as far as I know, the performance issues stem mainly from not being multithreaded but I could be wrong on that). In strictly discussing which e-mail client has the best IMAP handling, Mulberry is it. If you expand it to include a host of other things, such as what you've mentioned, then, you're right, MB doesn't make the cut. It's those reasons why I, too, no longer use Mulberry. TB's IMAP may be lacking but it makes up for it in a ton of other ways and, like most people, I keep my fingers crossed that one day IMAP will be truly addressed in The Bat!. -- :R.

multiple imap
I have 4 imap accounts. I find that I get the best performance if I portion the 10 connections allowed for an imap account between them. Should this be necessary? The option to not connect and synchronize at startup doesn't seem to have any effect. If the 4 accounts have more than 10 connections between them, the program is able to connect to only one account when the program starts, TB decides the other three servers have terminated the connection, and the associated tasks disappear from the Connection Center. At the next periodic check, TB is able to connect to the other 3 and perform normally from that point. -- Gleason Using 4.0.34.16 (ALPHA) on Windows XP, 5.1, Build 2600.

IMAP Search...
Hi, Seems IMAP searching is still flaky at best. It also seems to have an issue with timeouts. If the connection timesout while requesting the search data, it never reconnects. You have to manually force a connection, at which point it starts the search again. After a predetermined time, TB disconnects again. Now for the unusual bit... I hit search again, and I then get a timer scrolling along at the bottom that wasn't there the first 3 attempts, however the search results are incomplete. I did a search in my TBBETA archives in the body for "a.htm". It returned 3 results. So I enabled the protocol logging option, and I hit the start button a few times, nothing appeared in the log, but everything else was being logged just fine... So what is going on there? So I hit search a few more times, still nothing being logged. Does this go to reflex that the Search feature is not working at all, or limited to checking only the local cache? Or does it suggest that somewhere along the way, the Search dialog just forgot to ask the IMAP server? -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Using The Bat! v3.0.9.1 Deep Alpha on Windows XP Service Pack 2 Beer: So much more than a breakfast drink.
