IMAP managing imap folders

2008-12-11 Thread Dwight A Corrin
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.

2009-05-30 Thread Vili
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. (No offense.)

2011-04-08 Thread Burkster

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.

Burkster

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. It is nothing I can
put my finger on, but it seems to be behaving erratically. I also
noticed today that some of my filters went missing. These were not
common filters as someone had mentioned earlier, but filters
specifically for IMAP. I have a fastmail account, this one, that is
behaving really odd, disconnecting and reconnecting often.

Fwd: IMAP folders on Courier-IMAP

2004-01-25 Thread David Pascoe
Can anyone help with some debug settings perhaps ? This problem persists
with 2 IMAP servers, but not with another.

The problem servers are Courier-IMAP, I create new folder using
webmail/IMP but can never see it to subscribe to it. This is at
spamcop.net and my ISP.

fastmail.fm IMAP works as expected, I create a folder via the web and when
I reset the folder list, I can see it and subscribe to it.

This is frustrating as TB!'s IMAP support seems so close.

thanks,
davidp.

BTW. Thunderbird and Outlook Express seem to perform perfectly :(

Hello users,

We are finally done. 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?

People who like to make something good for mankind in relation to
computers :-)  The names are: Stef, Max, Sergey, Stas, Diman and Igor


LG> Is it an office type setting or do you do most of the work from
LG> home?

We are working at an office, because it is the best place to work as a
team and because we are trying to be a bit official :-)


LG> - Did you imagine that TB would be this successful?

We were sure that any work that is done with care and love should be
successful.


LG> - Do you have formal training in software Engineering?

My University diploma states that I am a specialist in Computer
Science, but I think I am a mathematician specialised on Graphs
Theory. :-) Max has finished High School and soon went to professional
programming.


LG> - Did you work for any software companies before you started 

IMAP: Importing messages to IMAP mailbox/folder

2005-05-09 Thread Allie Martin
Hi all,

I see that importing mail to an IMAP mailbox/folder leads to the
messages being added only to the local cache. Restoring the cache
deletes those messages and there doesn't seem to be a way for them to
reach the *real* IMAP mailbox/folder unless you import them to a local
TB! account and then drag and drop them to the IMAP folder/mailbox.

You might need to open the folder maintenance window, and hit the
refresh button a couple of times, if you haven't already that is. I've
found TB doesn't seem to automatically respect subscribed folders when
they are added.

 ...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.

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.

Hi Gleason,

>> exists yet.
GP> Right, it does not exist.  One reason is that it is devilishly hard to

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.

With the recent SP2 performance improvements and Xobni plugin it is perfect for

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.

Ritlabs develops own mailserver Batpost and I expect, this knowledge can
help to get better IMAP in The Bat!

I agree, that clear roadmap is needed and even there could be many reasons
to delay planned features or fixes, this is important.

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.

 Yeah. 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 am using it at work. I both have to and I think that there is no
 other option, really (I need the collaboration functionality).

 For private email, I don't think it would be suitable for me.

While  I  agree that it is better than it once was, I certainly would

remains message counts. In Vista, the only way to get a current count 
is  to exit and restart. I find myself doing that often. I'm not sure

haven't tried it lately. When we start working on IMAP, I'll get some 
accounts  I can safely experiment on but I screwed up my real account 
often enough that way in the past I won't risk it there. 

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. 

If  we don't test IMAP, then I might as well just be gone. POP has no

webmail, or something besides POP. 

There  are  plenty  of others who will be happy to mark all the dates

Then  cut  it  out.  But  dont  have  a semiworking IMAP in a program.
Server/client support was cut out once, so it can be done. But do that

 I don't know how I could have missed this while reading your message

 There's no use whining about IMAP support here on the list because
 the only thing you are going to get is another "will be implemented
 in next version", if the whining was long and loud enough.

 What would really be useful would be a -- let me introduce you to a
 completely novel idea, it is going to revolutionize the software
 developement world, I am sure -- R-O-A-D-M-A-P otherwise known as a
 R-E-L-E-A-S-E P-L-A-N.

 Not a relative one ("next version", "after...") but an absolute one
 ("by next month"). But we are not going to get it. It would be just a
 PITA for Ritlabs (an obligation they don't want).

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.

There are others that do a better job.  Thunderbird and Becky.  But
they lack other things, like html handling in replies that are more
important for me.

Don't think so.  People mostly use POP because that is what most ISP's
provide.  That isn't likely to change.

So, the question Ritlabs has to decide: be it a pet project, do what

all looks like a pet project to me.

Fastmail IMAP

2009-07-09 Thread Stuart Cuddy
Hello Tbbeta,

  I was looking through FastMail's blog this AM and came across the following.

http://blog.fastmail.fm/2009/05/01/help-test-proxy-to-improve-imap-performance/

So far using this proxy (mentioned lower in the article) I am seeing the 
following results.

Raw data 202.6 KB
Compressed data  21.2 KB
Approx 90% savings

Not sure how this translates into real world performance, but it is interesting 
none the less.

Also Ritlabs, you may want to look into this and the rest of the article. 
Seeing 
as you are looking into IMAP now and want to be on the cutting edge. :>)

IMAP Synchronization

2010-07-27 Thread Bob Riley
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.  Has
anyone ever noticed that?

-- 

Take care,

 Bob

Hello TBBETA,

  I am looking to switch e-mail providers and I am wondering if anyone is using 
Courier IMAP V.4.70. This is the version the new provider is using. If you are 
using it are you having any issues with the new IMAP implementation in V5.

IMAP folders

2011-01-29 Thread Stuart Cuddy
Hello Tbbeta,

  I'm not sure how long this has been going on, but I do not seem to be able to 
get my server folders to match my local folders. I always end up with extra 
Sent 
and Trash folders which are empty and are not used locally. If I delete them 
they seem to get recreated. 

I have selected server folders to use for sent and trash, but I still only use 
a 
local folder for Outbox. Anyone else seeing this?

Hi everyone,


since I've switched from v5/Release to the current v5.0.26.18 my 
problems with lost IMAP connections have reduced dramatically. I 
haven't even had to set the new option "resend IDLE every 30 seconds" 
in preferences.

It has been until today that I again noticed terminated connections,
this time with more of an description:

(Rough translation: "Existing connection terminated by the host

Can anyone tell me what this means?

Testing IMAP

2012-01-30 Thread Eddie
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.

I do believe you. Funny is that with another account to other ML I
don't face those problems.
Fact is, that my postings from my Computer addressing this list did
most of the time not making it. Only when I log into my gMail account
from browser the postings went through. So yes, it must be Jordan
related.

Dear all,


I am playing with IMAP again but this time I try to create Filters on TB! that shall be recognized by gMail. Those Filters I see are only stored on my TB! IMAP account but not in my gMail account.

IMAP Timeout

2013-03-09 Thread Martin Schoch
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. So I have to "kill" everything in the connection manager - and
then the connection is established again.

Not very useful. Or: Is it possible to switch off completely this
timeout?

The only thing I have encountered that works poorly in IMAP is
counting, and I have some quirky outbox issues. I still have better
success with it than any of the other clients I've tried. I filter
server side so I don't know about filter issues. IMAP could be better,
but what we have is not disillusioning to me.

I am opposing that we were promised IMAP for version 2. And version3.
Basic functionality is still not working. Now we hear that 4.1 will
bring the fixes.

I think this is conning users.

I went over to Poco mail - and came back. There is so much stuff I do
that Poco couldn't. Forwarding an email with attachment and the
attachments weren't included. Redirecting something with a background
and the text was gone. It's a great program and fairly powerful but it
definately has limitations.

Why should I? I have not paid for Pocomail. I never have problems with
Outlook.

If it is too hard to implement IMAP, then don't. Otherwise tell users
that TB IMAP will only work 80% - instead of promising IMAP _twice_.

First they told us it would be there that it will be there (version 2) -
and then for a second time - that _now_ it will really work (version 3).

Now they want us to do this again (version 4.1).

Anyway, EOD, since we're not getting anywhere.

I never have to jump through hoops to read IMAP mail, and never get this

It's still the same topic for me.

RitLabs has promised IMAP several times and there are still significant
bugs.

I have upgraded 2 times on the promise of (better) IMAP and now RitLabs
wants my money a 3. time in order to deliver what they promised the
first time. You don't see anything wrong with that?

You don't seem to get that my issue is that RitLabs have taken my money
2 times for the "IMAP" feature and now they want it a third time - for
that same feature.

 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.

 P.S.: My first post here, hello to everyone...

TheBat shows that I have unread mail but never shoes which folder or sub

Look Mr. Time to Think. I build email / IMAPS / DNS servers for a
living. Get it, I do it professionally, Over the many years, I have built
every IMAP server out there. I don't have to think, I know. I am not tied to
any one IMAP server, as many of you are with Fastmail or whomever you choose
to use for IMAP. TB! can only cause a corrupted client side cache, that's
what I am talking about that's why you have to clear the client side
cache. I don't have this with any other client. There is no "corrupted
message base" (server side) as you call it. I never build IMAP servers to
use mbox formats just maildir format... one message each file, not
spooled (1 file, all mail) as in mbox format (so you don't have to look
up what I am talking about.)

Well, I use it mainly for the calendar/scheduling at work (and

You should not take someones thoughts out of the context. I'm with
Gary here. 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".

I don't know who runs that company, but this is just plain wrong even for
me, guy from post-Soviet country.

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

I will not, however, buy the next version of TB until it has proven

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!.

multiple imap

2008-10-30 Thread Gleason Pace

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.

IMAP Search...

2005-02-23 Thread Jonathan Angliss
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?

You could give it a go since I'm using it here quite
comfortably. The things that are in my way now aren't IMAP
specific as far as I can tell, though the non-responding
attachments button may be an IMAP thing.

Oh. I forgot that a particularly annoying problem that still
occurs here is the loading of an incorrect message body for
a selected message. Reloading the message cures this, but at
times, you don't even realize that you're reading the wrong
message body until you realize that your original thinking
that you're reading duplicates may be wrong and you check
things more closely.

You're concerned wether it is safe to use TB's IMAP, but meanwhile, at
your not-so-young-age, are going to attend a Meatloaf show without any
(at least mentioned or noticeable) precautions??!!

Very strange. Must be your Klingon descent!  :-)

The non-responding attachments button is not just in IMAP. I'm glad to
