  1. Alan Gutierrez says that Apple Mail is just “too pitifully” slow when seaching IMAP accounts, even when they are cached locally.

  2. Thomas at BSDUNix says that Mail.app sucks — “You can’t subscribe to mailboxes and it’s awful slow with large imap mailboxes.”

  3. 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. mail.app, apple mail, thunderbird, imap, over-quota, subscribing, folders, searching, mailboxes Similar Posts:
