Hi Vilius,
>> But when I close the browser, the cache is (if so configured) cleared. On >> the next start, the cache is completely blank. > As others pointed out. This doesn't make sence for email much. I think it indeed may: - On a computer that doesn't belong to me, and which is not under my permanent control (such as a work place machine), I don't wish to occupy unnecessary disk space, nor do I want to leave a cache-copy of mail there. If I no longer have access to that machine, I could change the access passwords to the account, and all the data still stored on the machine in question would become useless. If there is still a cache of mail there, this isn't the case. Encryption is a solution here, but the disk-space issue still persists. (Many companies have a no-foreign-bytes-on-company-machines policy, and the less you install, the better.) - There is a technical use for that: If the client guaranties to store nothing locally, what I see is the current state on the server. If I see a folder, it is guaranteed to be at the server at this very moment. If I see it as empty, it really is empty. All this is not the case with TheBat at this time: TheBat stores and displays folders and messages that are no longer there all the time. Also, it occasionally does NOT display messages that ARE there, which may have a number of root causes - in most of which caching can be a factor, for which reason I'd like to take it out of the equation in certain situations. > In terms of used space, even smallest USB thumb drives have enough > capacity to handle large amounts of emails.

Both not my points nor intention. -- Mit freundlichem Gruß Alto Speckhardt mailto:a...@treadstone79.de TheBat v5.0.24 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.0.26.11 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
