A lot of theory. However, TheBat cant handle secure IMAP4/secure
POP3 connections flawlessly (as Outlook and Netscape do). That's
what counts to me. I still have to use another mailer (which I
really dislike) to handle my university account from home and
within campus (because TB wont handle this IMAP thing until v
2.).
I have read all of the IMAP related archives. Nothing works and
this issue is very important both for our functionality in
mailing+security matters *and* the success of TheBat (everyone is
going IMAP+secure).
This is one story: I recommended TB to the top 2 system guys to
find out it couldnt connect to the IMAP4 server ... it was a
shame. And they left the program aside like a potato chips bag
when it is empty. In fact, I am not sure whether they will ever
waste their time again on this matter.
TB is still the best mailer I have ever seen. It is (IMO) a
result of brilliant programmers - but hey, we need this secure
thing to fly flawlessly: just "click here to exchange
certificates" and all is done "automatically". This thing of
going to IE, exporting/importing certificates, etc. cannt be
handled by 90% of the academic users. And nobody has an army of
system guys to go around "n" users desks to configure this.
That's why Netscape and Outlook are selected for this matters
(while they are much worse mailers).
Cheers,
