IMAP problems

[Forums]

Hello 

I am setting up IMAP on TB and my phone (Android) but cannot get the two to 
co-exist consistently.

This is only on one account and using TB 5.4.8 in Windows 8. I still have this 
account on POP but is set not to collect

I have set up a second account with IMAP from the same source. The mail will 
come through on both the phone and TB but I have to leave the account 
highlighted in TB. 

I changed the Mail Management to when TB starts. Now sending from TB via 
another account or from GMail both devices show the email, but when it comes 
from an outside source then it will only go to the phone unless I leave the 
account selected.

Is there some other setting I should use?

Thanks

so the suggested method is actually restarting The Bat.. what puzzles me
here is that we installed the exact same version on a different machine
for a different user, who's also using the almost same layout on the
server, and he doesn't have any problems at all.
Thanks,

For this I use the Trash folder, so I'm not sure how to find Marked

This is definitely a recurring problem with IMAP at the moment.
Sometimes killing stuck processes in the connection center works.
Sometimes using Purge and Compress works. Sometimes using Refresh
works and sometimes using Clear Cache Now works. But more often than
not closing TB! and restarting is what lets you see your message.

IMAP problems

[Johannes Rußek]

Hello List!
I have a few more questions (besides the one I already posted, help is
still really, really appreciated) about IMAP.
first of all, I can't figure out how to find deleted (not purged)
messages, even though the settings are that tb wouldn't move them to the
trash folder but rather flag them as being deleted. how do I find them?
(I also clicked on "browse deleted messages", nothing showed up).
Also, one of our TB! users has a problem that i found in the bugtracker,
sometimes her TB! just wouldn't load the body of a message. If she
clicks on the message, the place where the message should show up is
just grey. If she restarts TB! though, the message shows up fine.
Any hints on that?
Help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance,

Agreed. I've also been using Thunderbird off-and-on for my IMAP
accounts because it (a)has extremely stable IMAP support, and (b)is
free. But beyond reliable bare-bones functions, it really doesn't have
much to offer at this point. When I'm using Thunderbird, I
particularly miss the message templates, the elegant handling of
identities, and the super-flexible filtering. Everyone probably has
their own lists of features of TB! that they've grown to find
essential, but those are the first that spring to mind for me.

While I'm very excited at the prospect of TB! providing reliable IMAP
support, I'm personally not quite ready to break out the champagne
yet. I've experienced enough intermittent bizarre IMAP behavior with
TB! that I'm unwilling to un-install Thunderbird and rely solely on
TB! for IMAP at this point, and I certainly won't be using TB! on my
work machine until it is at least 95% stable. Hopefully that level of
stability will be reached in the next release (I just installed the
latest beta on my 'play' machine and it looks good so far -- fingers
crossed!).

Ooops! In all fairness, I forgot about the Enigmail/EnigMIME
extension. This one was nice to use since you could autoPGP/MIME sign
and also autoverify signed messages. I really enjoyed this but it's
really no great loss when compared to all that TB! functionality I was
not able to tap on while at the office.

I think my having to use ThunderBird has been misunderstood.

There are many features in TB! that ThunderBird lacks and I don't see
them as nice features to just have anyway. I find them *essential* to
effectively and efficiently managing my mail. All ThunderBird has is
good/reliable IMAP support. It has nothing else really. There are some
extensions currently available, but none that offer any real
functionality.

When I couldn't read any messages with TB! on my slow connection at
work, ThunderBird was a better solution since it converted my
situation from one of not being able to read IMAP mail from work to
being able to do so. ThunderBird proved to be a solution for me at
this very basic level.

I'd never really entertain comparing the two once you're up and going
with reading mail as I now am with TB! at work. Now that TB!'s IMAP
works well enough for me to read mail from work, the thought of using
ThunderBird is now laughable. They simply don't compare once we get
beyond basic fetching and reading of messages.

The Bat ver 2.11.x and IMAP problems; TheBat vs T-Bird

[SL]

Hi BatPersons

Someone asked (sorry...can't find the original message) if there were
more IMAP-related problems with TB with versions 2.1.x

It may be coincidence, but I had no problems with TB 'till ver 2.11.x
(as you can see I am now back to ver 2.10.x). I had database
errors...which I was unable to repair, then repeated messages from
Windows re Runtime Errors (which I don't understand).

  Of course...these problems may have had nothing whatsoever to do
  with IMAP and TB versions 2.11.x...but rather a simple database
  erroror index file error...which was compounded by the
  ineptitude of the operator ;-)

  Anyway...I am now more conscientious about regular backups in
  TheBat!...a tres cool feature IMO.

  On another matter...re ThunderBird vs The Bat!...tell me again Allie
  (and others) what you see as the merits/demerits of both. An obvious
  difference is TheBat does SO much more...(much of which may be
  superfluous to many users...eg like DVD players ...or cigarette
  lighters...in cars )...but could be nice to have anyway...just in
  case...(Besides...its nice to have options anyway... ;-)

Using The Bat! v2.10.03 (Protocol:IMAP for my main account; POP3 for the

IMAP problems

[jennyw]

I can't seem to get The Bat! to use IMAP. It accesses POP accounts fine, but
with IMAP it just hangs, saying 0.0kb.  Is there a trick to it?

Assuming it does work, does The Bat! have full support for IMAP? In
particular, I'm hoping that it can access IMAP folders other than just the
inbox, and also have filters which can move messages to IMAP folders.  OE,
for example, can only move messages into local folders.  Currently, the only
mail app. I've used that can do this is Netscape, but it has other issues
and I'd love to move to something else.

Thanks!

Jen
