Reply to thread matthew - that's fine, but since MPro's IMAP side is designed specificially to work within the confines of IMAP (which relies on server side filtering) the whole talk of adding filtering to RemoteNB is a bit like adding propellers to cars. From the description above, even Thunderbird is using a hacky "download then re-build" approach which really doesn't sound overly appertising. Perhaps we need to think of alternative approaches, but please try to remember that IMAP is a fixed protocol - it has procedures for searching, filing in folders and so on, but not filtering as that has always been seen as a server side operation. Obviously this is a deficiency of the protocol, but nevertheless, criticising Mpro because the industry standard protocol is limited seems rather, erm, odd? Mpro does build on IMAP where possible (eg. mailing list folders etc.) where the client has control, but certainly the idea of the client having to download all the mail (even just headers) each login and filter the results back sounds rather extreme - especially when you consider that other posters are asking for *faster* logins etc!!!! Just out of curiosity, *why* isn't POP/leave on server not an option (I'm half playing devil's advocate). I appreciate it lacks some finesse, but so does the client-filtering described above...! It's certainly the only way to run SpamStamp which was one of Julian's requests! arawnsley on 15/12/04 11:37PM [ Reply | Permalink | Report ] Please login before posting a comment.
