Hello AS,
Let me bite on this one!
IMAP is a very sore issue with me. I really needed (and still do),
but RITLabs are in a constant state of denial on IMAP support.
According to RITLabs IMAP does work. See a paste of their support
response to me:
Time: 03/04/2008 17:43:33
From: [4000] (apr) XXXXXXXXXX (helpdesk staff)
Well, there is a full support of the IMAP4-protocol in The Bat! and
knowing the settings for you server you can configure The Bat! to work
with it. So, basically, create a brand new account and make it an IMAP
one, then enter the settings and there you go.
Well, sorry "there you go" It still did not work me. Here was their final
response and then they closed the ticket:
Time: 03/05/2008 17:05:59
From: [4000] (apr) XXXXXXXXXXX (helpdesk staff)
At present (some issues have to be solved) The Bat! does not work with
Gmail
via IMAP4-protocol, but successfully does with POP3.
We can't say IMAP is not working in The Bat! at all, there are some
problems, but generally it works.
Now I really hope someone in the list can confirm or otherwise that
RITLAbs is working on full IMAP support for v4.1, because I have a
lot of trouble understanding "but generally it works", when it
clearly does NOT! It's like being a little bit pregnant, either you
are or you aren't.
I will go so far as to say it will be difficult for TB to retain the
crown as a credible alternative in the corporate arena without IMAP support.
Sorry if this is this sounds a bit tongue-in-cheek, but as I wrote
it, it ocurred to me it's a bit like Dante's "Divine Comedy": comical in its
denial, yet a tragedy
for those that need this feature.
Frankly none of RITLAbs answers satisfies me, so maybe we can shame someone
there into giving
us hope this matter will be resolved soon.
Cheers!
