How are messages being routed to folders? If you're using some kind of server-side filtering make sure the box is checked that says "check this folder for new messages" in the properties of each folder. If the only filtering is through the user-configured rules in mozilla/thunderbird then everything gets delivered to the INBOX (or whatever is set up as imap root folder) and then filtered/routed to other folders AFTER the client is opened/started. IOW this may be normal behaviour, not a broken client. > > What is another decent IMAP client in ports? IMHO thunderbird is one of the best for graphical imap clients - lean but featureful at the same time. I like Sylpheed as well. Hope that helps
