I really hope that he informed the developers of Hamster about "dozens
of bugs". Could you ask him about that because it would be fair to
tell them about problems and not just being

I've been using Hamster with several TB! betas and IMAP4 and I can'T
say that I experienced problems.

If you were right it wouldn't make sense but maybe you/Stefan just
used an old beta or made some mistakes in the configuration. Well, I
don't want to say that you did make mistakes and Hamster was bug free
which is wrong but Hamster has proven to work for many many beta
testers with different accounts and clients so it shouldn't be too but
ridden.

In fact, I trust the developers of Hamster more to provide a better
implementaion of IMAP4 than Ritlabs because of the less time Rit has
already spent on it and the number of knows problems that are
discussed on this list and are on Mantis.

So it might be the best to use Mercury/32 if its IMAP4 implementation
is much older and therefore less bug ridden.
