I think that it should work the other way around. If 1 connection is available then selected folder should be idled. And if more than 1 is used then one of these connections should idle inbox. I would really hate The Bat! for using 2 connections just to IDLE. This really makes no sense from IMAP point of view. -- Vilius ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.0.0.133 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
