Well my "saga", as Marck so aptly described it, is coming to an end. I realized that upgrading my main account - that I depend on for business - wasn't the best idea on my part. I knew there were issues with IMAP and tried it anyway. I gotta take responsibility for that.
I have reverted back to 1.62r on my main machine. I plan to continue trying out the betas on my laptop. There is some cool stuff in v2, but at this point (for me) v2 is not working well enough to commit to fully. One thing I discovered that has solved much of my functionality need is that the IMAP implementation in 1.62r - while very limited - does offer me the one thing I really wanted. Remember that one of the main reasons I want to use IMAP is to be able to stay in synch with sent mail from other locations - keeping a Sent Mail folder synchronized across machines. I didn't know this until recently, but if I invoke Mail Dispatcher (1.62r allows Dispatcher for IMAP Accounts) and manually select the Sent Mail folder from the drop-down list, I can select those messages to be downloaded, and they end up in my Sent Mail folder locally. Of course this isn't automatic (and technically, not really IMAP), but it gets me what I want. No more having to remember to Bcc myself! I don't know if this is common knowledge or not, but being able to maintain some level of synchronization of Sent Mail was very important. This was a big deal for me and gives me the freedom to wait for v2 to mature. As always, thanks for the patience and guidance here... -- Ken Green Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
