More reports of IMAP woes in Mail.app:
- Alan Gutierrez says that Apple Mail is just “too pitifully” slow
when seaching IMAP accounts, even when they are cached locally. - Thomas at BSDUNix says that Mail.app sucks
— “You can’t subscribe to mailboxes and it’s awful slow with large imap mailboxes.” - Although Paul Westbrook notes that Mail handles losing the IMAP connection well, he discovers two other quirks
with IMAP in Mail.app — in copying nested IMAP folders and in using accounts that are over-quota.
End result? 66% user-drain to Thunderbird.
