Windows 7 The Bat and Gmail
I have started using GMail so as to get my mail onto my iphone easily. I love the labels approach rather than having copies in folders. I also like that threeads automaticallyt include replies without having to copy to the same folder. This plays havoc with TBs unread counts as IMAP from google shows multiple copies. I tried the latest thunderbird, an whilst it is vastly inferior wrt to many things including threading, it handles Gmail IMP much better. Does anyone have any suggestions for making TB more gmail friendly. I really don't want to leave, but after many years, TB is making my email life harder, not easier.

I also While not directly Gmail related, I'd love to have true IMAP labels implemented in TB!, see: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=6523 No such luck, I am afraid. [...] Does anyone have any suggestions for making TB more gmail friendly. I really don't want to leave, but after many years, TB is making my email life harder, not easier. Nope. TB!'s IMAP support is broken beyond repair (and is unlikely to ever get fixed), and Gmail's IMAP implementation is sometimes quirky, too. However, Gmail is extremely popular and you'll see support for it getting better in major email clients (i.e. Thunderbird). -- Best regards, Robert Tomanek mailto:tb...@mail.robert.tomanek.org Current version is 4.2.12.4 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Bat and Gmail
Still hoping someone has any answers on the below. Things have only gotten worse. Now when I move things in TBUDL to the IMAP folder for Gmail, it looks like it is in the IMAP folder but it isn't actually loaded onto the gmail server so isn't there when I go into gmail. For instance a folder that I moved 4000 messages into had only 600 actually go to the gmail server. Yes, I was selecting to connect to the gmail server. Prior message: I am currently using TB 4.0.24. I also have a gmail account which I have set to IMAP. I have a large archive of messages in TB that I would like to get on the gmail server. I hope that there is a more efficient way to do it than I am doing. Let me start off by saying that I know virtually nothing about IMAP. The procedure I followed was to set up my GMAIL account in TB as an IMAP account. It has folders in it, of course, that correspond to my GMAIL labels. I have many thousands of emails in TB that I want to put into my GMAIL account. This is what I am doing. Let's say I have a TB folder called X which has 5000 emails in it. (Some folders have less, some have up to 50,000 emails). I have created a GMAIL label called X which in TB showns as folder under my Gmail account called X. I start up TB. I do not have the GMAIL account set up to syncronize. (I don't really care if what is in my gmail account is in TB...I mostly just want to get my TB archive into Gmail). I go to my X folder in TB and select a group of emails (or all of them) and drag them to the X folder under the Gmail. Sometimes, this works fine and in short order the messages are in the Gmail account. Other times nothing happens. Sometimes I can get it going by clicking on the Gmail account in TB and saying Connect to Server. Other times I do that and nothing happens. Regardless, it seems to move 50 to 200 messages and then quits. Sometimes if I close TB and restart it then it will start moving messages again. For example I have spent this entire day trying to move 11000 messages from one folder in TB to the Gmail folder. I have succeeded in moving 4500. Given that I have about several hundred thousand messages this is way too slow. Anyway to speed this up?
