(or something original wouldn't hurt either ;) Strange that I don't see any of the problem you mention; I'm using sylpheed-claws for about 29 configured email accounts, 2 of which are IMAP one being my FreeBSD list subscription with 153 folders. sylpheed-claws --status-full: new: 240 unread: 290335 total: 950215 The only problem I have is that a Draft message written in s.-c. when accessed in sqirrel webmail doesn't have the To: and Subject: lines and vice-versa. An other thing which I would like would be to fetch only attachments names and sizes when one opens a email and fetch the attachment only when you open it (I saw this in Eudora and like it very much). --=20 IOnut - Un^d^dregistered ;) FreeBSD "user" "Intellectual Property" is nowhere near as valuable as "Intellect" To live is always desirable. -- Eleen the Capellan, "Friday's Child", stardate --Sig_MkhqU92RZvKab6l16GwgMQe Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFRZnrBX6fi0k6KXsRAp87AJwPtWOlr31nZmqX51zV6VtdIldLKQCeK8aD AGaiosBvwJl0O7lZZ5v8g7U= =rPBg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_MkhqU92RZvKab6l16GwgMQe--
