Hi!

I just gave it a try with gmail's IMAP and not all worked as expected.

It downloads the complete emails, not just the headers. I take it, IMAP is just another method to get your email (like POP3) and that doesn't imply that only the headers are downloaded. My misconception. I guess, to achieve that, you just check the "Partially download messages larger than" and put in "1" kb.

subfolders."

This apparently doesn't work as I imagined. One of the folders I get as hierarchy when the mails get downloaded is named "Privat". After copying a spam mail into the folder via Gmail webinterface and specifying "Privat" as 'Top Mailbox Folder', nothing happens.

Anyone knows what this setting 'Top Mailbox Folder' is exactly and how it's 
used?
Thanks.
