A potential fix for Mail.app and IMAP problems
Authored by: sdickers@mac.com on Feb 12, '04 01:53:19AM

I have 22 email accounts with my Macintosh Mail. I have an E-Mac and am running OS X 10.3.2 Panther. I am having problems with seding mail. The program interupts me constantly when I try to send mail by asking me if I want to try another SMTP server. I get a series of error messages. It is not uncommon for me to have 30 pieces of mail stuck in the outbox that I wanted to send immediately. This is a real time waster. I receive more than 1000 pieces of e-mail per day with this program.

Also, the script for eliminating duplicates never finishes. I have left it running for as long as three days and even that is not sufficient for it to find all the duplicates in my various mailboxes. I have have about 600 mailboxes, maybe more.

I am willing to use the script that you wrote, but I am not a programmer and have never written my own script. Where do I enter it?

I have Microsoft Entourage. It came with Office. Perhaps it would work better. Do you know. Also, I have considered Netscape Mail or Thunderbird.
My Netscape Mail won't even access my six Netscape Mail accounts so I am reluctant to trust it with anything else. I was somewhat overwhelmed by Entourage when I tried to use it.

I would appreciate any guidance that you can offer.
