The sad point is that my email provider allows 10 MBytes or 500 messages on their servers, whatever comes first. If I want to be subscribed to the linux kernel mailing list (about 200-400 messages per day) I have to retrieve all messages to TheBat's local folder. I don't want to select messages on the server I just want ALL messages retrieved without manually operating the mail dispatcher. > That's the theoretical part of it.

Until now I could use POP3 with my account but my provider had problems with his POP3 support. So I switched to IMAP with the opinion that this protocol is superior to POP3 and that TheBat should provide more functionality with IMAP. In reality it seems to be less. -- Regards Thomas mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.53t -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
