Maybe you just want headers or maybe you want the full message. Actually, since this is not my personal email but it is our company email, I want all messages to be downloaded, just like the POP interface and what i do is store the the IN messages in a different folder called X and the SENT messages are stored in another folder called Y. I store messages upto 5 months old. >The beauty of IMAP is that if you need your mail from another computer >or via webmail, all your mail (also old mail) is there, in the folders >you have created for it. This is very important especially during after office hours or during a week end. I check mail leaving them on the server, during this period and once in office, down load them all and clear the server due to restricted space allocation on the server. Let me get this straight, once the IMAP is configured and your server comes online, the IN box is filled with messages as appearing on your server, but the IN box does not have the messages downloaded? Is it a copy of the messages that appears in your IN box? Then, how do i activate the filters for this IN box if the messages are itself not physically downloaded? do i have to move the messages from IN box to X box and then run the filters from here? I do have filters activated for IN and SENT boxes and i must admit the filters and sub-filters just works fine for me. Priority is given to filtered messages. do you mean that the folders in the server should be created or the desktop client that i use? in our server it got only IN,OUT,SENT and TRASH but in my desktop client (TB), i got a lot of folders, sub-folders, filters and sub-filters since i use POP interface. Sorry, but the IMAP is still a bit complicated for me, but would really want to set it up to run smoothly. i use TB v.3.0.1.33. May be this is an old version but would like to stick with it since i dont want any problems trying to install newer versions and lose all what i got, incase of a problem. -- best regards rizvi ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.99.27.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
