Thanks for your explanation, but I have done that before (map remote folder INBOX to local folder INBOX). The mapping works because I am able to transfer the messages by pressing the button "Start Transfer" within the mail dispatcher. *01.11.2001, 14:20:14: FETCH - Connecting to IMAP server imap.xxx.de on port 143 +01.11.2001, 14:20:14: FETCH - IMAP server authentication OK, server says "User logged +in" *01.11.2001, 14:20:15: FETCH - 13 new messages detected in 5 mailboxes +01.11.2001, 14:20:16: FETCH - connection finished - 0 messages received But the transfer doesn't take place when I press "ALT-F2 aka Check mail for all". When I think about it TheBat does two different things when using "Check mail for all": - checking (when using IMAP) - retrieving (when using POP3) On the other side the tooltip on the button says "GET new mail". Perhaps a new config item has to be suggested: "Retrieve all messages automatically" in the account management/mail management config mask. -- Regards Thomas mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.53t -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Re[2]: IMAP and receiving all new messages automatically
Hi again! You know, most ISP suck one way or the other. I suggest that you get an account from a public site and ask them to forward your e-mail there (they shouldn't have trouble with that, actually they will love that you aren't using up their harddrive space). I.e. Yahoo! Mail can accept enough e-mails, then you can download from POP (that's what I'm doing), they have a small quota but it doesn't matter if you are downloading locally your e-mail on a regular basis. I think Hotmail also allows that. Nothing beats having e-mail locally, especiall for mail lists, it's great to do searches.

Re: IMAP and receiving all new messages automatically
AFAIK IMAP doesn't download your messages, it just gets the list of messages and you download/get them "on the fly". It's all stored and done in the server. This has the added advantage that you can check your e-mail on different machines and you will basically have the same stuff available to all. You also save space locally, but you may loose speedines if you have a slow connection to the server. That's the theoretical part of it. I no longer use IMAP, and have always used POP3 with TB, so I don't know how the IMAP support is or how it words on it.

IMAP and receiving all new messages automatically
Hello all, I had to change the protocol of one of my account from POP3 to IMAP. And now I can't get all new messages of my account automatically. *01.11.2001, 14:20:14: FETCH - Connecting to IMAP server imap.xxx.de on port 143 +01.11.2001, 14:20:14: FETCH - IMAP server authentication OK, server says "User logged +in" *01.11.2001, 14:20:15: FETCH - 13 new messages detected in 5 mailboxes +01.11.2001, 14:20:16: FETCH - connection finished - 0 messages received What's wrong with my setting ? I've tried different settings in "Account_properties" / "Mail_management": "message_management" and "mail dispatcher". The only way to get my messages is by connecting manually to the internet, invoking the mail dispatcher manually and pressing "Start transfer". TheBat's helpfile doesn't have much information about IMAP :-( Your help is very appreciated. -- Regards Thomas mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.53t -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
