Greetings Sebastian Bauer. Per your note of 28-Dec-02 05:02:14:

As you perceived in you second response, I only have the one IMAP account
setup and no POP account. The IMAP account is set as active.

The latest NList and NListtree were installed prior to installing SimpleMail
0.18 and I rebooted my Amiga after installing NList(tree) and prior to running
SM 0.18. I was also required to install EXPAT.LIBRARY. You don't list this
as a requirement in your docs. I also made sure I installed the other libs
that came with NList(tree).
BTW, I have 2 Amigas (A1200 and A2000) both running Phase5 '060 accelerators
and 64MB of fast RAM connected by a small LAN. I'm running OS3.9 + BB2 except
that I'm using DOpus 5.82 as workbench replacement. Both are running Genesis-
AmiTCP. The A2000 is setup as a SOCKS4 server using MSOCKD4.LHA from Aminet.
The A1200 runs a SOCKS wrapper client. Mozilla and MSIE on my PC are setup to
use SOCKS4 proxy.

Sometimes this works as you describe, but more often not and I have to perform
steps I describe.
In addition to the default folders for POP (no POP account setup though), I
have the following IMAP group and group folders:
imap.voicenet.com ; group folder
INBOX ; imap incoming mail - gathers same email as if
I used popmail.voicenet.com
INBOX.FILTERED ; imap SPAM mail filtered out by my ISP
INBOX.Trash ; imap trash mail - normally empty

Yes, it is the way Outlook Express and Mozilla work and occassionally
SimpleMail. Most times SimpleMail doesn't work as you indicate. I'll try to
discover what is different when it does work.

Thank you for this information. I am new to understanding how IMAP works.
This helps.
