Re: Switching to Powermail maybe

Actually, one only has to do that once and then the folder structure is shown on ALL IMAP clients. Most importantly, it includes one's Sent mail data as well. The consistent and complete folder structure is the very strength of IMAP. Better yet, if the server is fairly full featured, one cou

Re: Switching to Powermail maybe

Switching to Powermail maybe
