Hello, I moved my local Pmail folders to an IMAP Server with this method:
http://community.pmail.com/forums/post/15833.aspx
which worked well. While working with the IMAP Folders especially using autofiltering I found several points with strange behaviour:
- Can not move Folder: There is a single hierachy level: On top there are around 10 folders(filing trays, only containig folders no messages) containig folders with messages (no deeper hierachy, all folders inside are folders with the icon folder+letter). If I move a folder from tray to tray, it is moved as expected. I can put mails in and out, but the "Folder Information..." still shows the old position (eg oldtray.folder instead of newtray.folder). When I disconnect and reconnect to the IMAP server the folder is at the first place, as if no move took place, but the contents (added mail) is not undone. I tried with a different IMAP client and it is able to move the folders permanently. The IMAP server is dovecot.
- unread Mail in a folder make the top-level green, but not the folder containing the mail, I have to seach for the numbers. My former setup with local folders highligted both: the tray and the folder
- "urgent" messages in an IMAP folder are displayed red and always on top and I can not change them to not-urgent, what was possible with local folders in the context-menu (F12)
- Annotation are saved locally: If I annotate a message on one PC in
the IMAP folder, it does show up there, but not on another PC when I
connct to IMAP
Point 1 is the most important, but it would be nice to have 2. and 3. features also in IMAP.
Do you have an idea what I could do to fix this?
Thank you in advance,
Tobias
PS: pmail 4.7 on Win 8.1 and Win 7
PPS: To 1): I observed the TCP logs (-Z 32) option and when I move a folder Pmail does not generate TCP Traffic
