Re: received mails not shown?
Hi Thomas, We are using your great (!) email client and run a linux-based cyrus imap-server behind. It is some time that I remarked some strange things about new mails. At least my account does not show me all incoming mails. For some reason I do have to check "dispatch mail on server- all mails" to find some mails already received by the server but not correctly persented by the email client. If I mark these mails an press enter they are displayed as usually including attachements (if any). I am not quite sure if this is a problem on server or on client side- anyway it was a good idea to find a solution! I guess no one answered because none of us has ever experienced anything like this. You may have to provide more details before anyone could help you. How do you "know" you didn't get all the new messages? Is it because you're expecting a particular message and couldn't find it in the Inbox? When you see in the mail dispatcher a message you think you didn't get, how is it marked? (Are its "read" and "receive" marks checked?) You must have set up your account to leave mail on server, right? You may want to print out TB's log file and check it against the mail dispatcher. (TB dutifully log the time and the number of messages it downloads. Compare it with the time your server received them in the mail dispatcher should tell if TB is really missing some messages.) -- Best regards, Ming-Li mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Re: received mails not shown?
Hello Tom, Wednesday, July 12, 2000, you wrote: One of the IMAP bugs does have this effect. I reported it a couple of years ago now. TB's IMAP often hangs, especially on a slower/busier client. Apparently marking the messages "read" is done before the transfer is started (likely it's done by the IMAP server when the client tells it which messages to transfer, I don't know the protocol). Anyway, after killing the hung connection, you'll only get the messages which successfully transferred up to that point, and attempting to receive new mail won't work because the server has now marked all of the messages read. You have to go back into "dispatch mail on server", guess which messages you didn't get, mark them unread and start over. If you have "delete received messages" checked, you're hosed. Oddly, it isn't possible to cancel a hung connection, the cancel button in the transfer window has no effect. (I don't think it has any effect on IMAP connections, only on POP.) You have to close the transfer window with the top-right X. Every time I upgrade The Bat! I hope that this bug has been fixed, but it never has :-( On an account which receives several hundred emails / day, and which may have several thousand messages on the server, POP performance really sucks. So I've gotten into the habit of watching the number of messages transferred very carefully, so I can go into "dispatch mail on server" on a failure.

Re: received mails not shown?
Hi Thomas, I would really recommend using the cyrus-imapd server. It is a very stable system, not too complicated to setup and is doing well. Thanks, but I'm a home user who has absolutely no control over what server software to use. Some users ask me if I did already receive their mail (in the Inbox). So if I check new mail and did not receive it so far then I found them using the "mail dispatch" feature. These messages are bold and marked as "received", no more checkboxes are checked. I have no experience with IMAP whatsoever, and have never pay much attention to any discussion about it in this group. Those who do should be able to provide much more valuable information. With my POP3 mail dispatcher, nowever, a message with the "receive" field marked is one to be received (i.e., new mail). There's no "received" field. -- Best regards, Ming-Li mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
