A lot of this depends upon your mail server. As an example, we have a mail server that our in-house users access via an IMAP client. Our traveling users access the same message store using a web client via POP3. So it is possible to co-exist IMAP and POP with the same e-mail address.

Look, I can show you thousands of outlook incoming and outgoing mail messages with message ID's. I'm not sure if there is an RFC for this or not but I believe there is. Our mail server assigns a message ID to all outgoing messages if the mail client hasn't already done so. If I have time, I'll look up the appropriate specification.

There is no question TB has improved dramatically over the last few months with regards to IMAP functionality. I agree with you that considering the overall client functionality, TB has the potential of becoming the ultimate e-mail client. However, total IMAP functionality isn't quite there yet and is hardly the "best" available IMAP client at the present time. As TB strives for and implements IMAP RFC compliance and addresses the current bugs, this will obviously change. -- Best Regards, Kevin Using The Bat! v2.12 Beta/1 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 pgpvRzNtj07GS.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

My > problem is, not knowing what functionality is possible - I don't know > what's missing. > Will filter actions, auto-replies, auto-message using templates, > address list manipulation etc etc work? TB has awesome functionality. I've been using it in a production environment for about 6 weeks and I'm still figuring out all the functions. Almost anything is possible if one doesn't mind digging through the list archives and seeing what other people have done. The existing documentation leaves a lot to be desired. I'll address the IMAP functionality and leave it to others to expand on a lot of the other things. Needless to say, the template and filter functionality, IMO, is its strong point. The key issues with regards to IMAP are: 1. Draft messages are put in the local "outbox" folder rather than the industry standard IMAP "draft" folder. For those that are used to using IMAP, we have found this to be a significant usability issue. 2. Synchronization of the IMAP folders is much slower than Outlook or Eudora. I am confident that this will be addressed in the near future. 3. There are some bugs in the latest public beta that requires some patience but again, these will be fixed. 4. Not IMAP but if you are expecting Outlook address book capabilities, the TB address book isn't quite there yet but it is getting close. Again, you can look at other peoples experience with the address book. Most of the feature list works as advertised. I think you will be extremely happy with TB if you have some patience and willing to put in the time to learn. Hope this helps. -- Best Regards, Kevin Using The Bat! v2.12 Beta/1 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 pgpk6dOib2VX5.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The conversion facility to transfer a POP3 message to IMAP "should be" nothing more than a drag and drop from one folder to another. I have tested that with our IMAP mail server (MDaemon) and using the IMAP functionality of FastMail. It is seamless. Other IMAP mail servers may be different but this difference is usually caused by (1) the mail server isn't really IMAP compliant and (2) the IMAP server is installed incorrectly. 2. I won't deny speed is an issue with TB. It is slower than I would like but I am hopeful this will be fixed soon. I probably have 50 or so folders spread across multiple IMAP servers and, to-be-honest, I just go get a cup of coffee while TB does its thing. My setting are probably a bit abnormal though, too. It shouldn't be a show-stopper. 3. It is difficult to have it both ways; the benefits of IMAP (centralized message store accessed for anywhere, anytime and on any platform) and the speed of keeping messages on local storage. Hope this helps. -- Best Regards, Kevin Using The Bat! v2.12 Beta/7 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 pgpYZaWU4DKSE.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Actually, all the IMAP servers are local on gig ethernet. Speed is not an issue. I will admit some of the speed issues are the result of my TB settings. I have had so many problems with IMAP synchronizations, I finally flush all the caches on exit so, on the resultant start-up, everything has to be restored. I also have autosync turned on.

POP/IMAP/SMTP ports need to be set to whatever port the mail server is expecting. Unlikely one would ever choose to use a port used for other standard protocols (i.e. 123).

Without getting into all the why's and wherefor's, you might want to download 2.12.03 that "should" fix your problems. It fixed some of mine regarding similar issues. All you need to do is rename the existing thebat.exe file in your program directory to something else, un-rar the beta copy and put the resultant thebat.exe in your program directory. If it doesn't work, you can always replace the executable with the original renamed version.

That depends on what you define as better. As an example, if one is looking for a robust IMAP client, there are several clients that are better.

How do I purge all messages on server using TB? You need to do a Folder/Purge+Compress. Don't forget TB's version of delete only marks the message for "deletion." To actually remove the message from the server, it must be expunged. In TB's parlance, that is a purge & compress.

Purging on IMAP will permanently delete emails in the inbox > on server that have been marked for deletion. This is incorrect. Allie is correct in his description. From the TB documentation The "Purge" action will result in marking messages as deleted in folders where the messages either exceed the "Keep for nn days" property of the folder or exceed the folder's maximum message count, in which case older messages are marked deleted. This helps you to automatically manage the amount of space your mail base occupies as time goes by. (this is not available for IMAP as Allie indicated) Purge can be useful, for example, in a folder where you keep weekly price lists, a 7 day purge will make sure that only the current price list is kept. These messages stay in place, unseen, until the folder is Compressed. The "Compress" option removes messages marked as deleted from the message base files. This should be done periodically to keep used space to a minimum and to reclaim the space freed in purge, delete and filter operations. -- Best Regards, Kevin PGP Keys: idap://keyserver.pgp.com idap://europe.keys.pgp.com:11370 Using The Bat! v3.0.0.19 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 pgp7gVFRpv1Vh.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I've had the same problem myself. Here in the U.S. many companies are required to retain copies of e-mails for a number of years with accurate header information. This is one (and not the only one) reason that has precluded us from using TB on a department or corporate level. -- Best Regards, Kevin PGP Keys: idap://keyserver.pgp.com idap://europe.keys.pgp.com:11370 Using The Bat! v3.0.2.1 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 pgpVZ11hE44QY.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

In a sense this is how we do it as well. A stand-alone backup program and an automated FTP utility to upload off-site. BTW, I would never rely an anything less than a fully functional, robust and dedicated back-up utility for this process. -- Best Regards, Kevin PGP Keys: idap://keyserver.pgp.com idap://europe.keys.pgp.com:11370 Using The Bat! v3.0.2.8 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 pgpQ5Eteo910i.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I have a Windows Mobile device and connect to my IMAP server and all is well. I also use TB (mostly). Of course a CE device can also talk to POP3 but you lose the synchronization. -- Best Regards, Kevin PGP Keys: idap://keyserver.pgp.com idap://europe.keys.pgp.com:11370 Using The Bat! v3.0.2.8 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 pgpZcbxA3HPrb.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
