Hi Clive,
--On Tuesday, October 11, 2005 4:35 PM +0100 you wrote in part:
When I now select a folder in Mulberry, it downloads just the last 20
headers. Only 20!. That folder could have 10,000 or 30,000 messages in
it. Mulberry downloads only the last 20 so that you can get going with
reading.
Not here it doesn't, Curtis. I've set it to download 100 messages and
it's still infinitely quicker than TB!
IIRC, Curtis initially set it to 20 as he was at work using a very slow
connection to his server back home (at that time). Currently, I find TB!
and the Berry to download about the same, in speed... However, my servers
are on a LAN.. so it is easy to say... When on the road, connecting to my
servers back home, Mulberry was much faster in downloading and manipulating
email, but that is how it is structured to handle IMAP, as Curtis' email
explained.
If I chose the entire list, Mulberry would spend an
eternity retrieving the entire message list. It takes LONGER than TB!
to do the same. Ask Gary about it. :)
Again, not here. Serverside threading is transparent. It's Thunderbird
that has a problem in this area for me.
Clive, is your IMAP server locally on your LAN, or outside?
Mulberry's speed comes from efficiency. You do far more with much less
transfer of data. TB! is doing too much in the background and requires
too much data transfer to be productive
I'd buy that. It's the difference in philosophy between a POP and IMAP
developed client, I suppose.
very much agreed.
