Stop Mail.app from caching too many IMAP folders
Authored by: moritzh on Jun 29, '05 01:52:09PM

Just a quick update: Also tried it with my acount setup as IMAP rather than Exchange Server, but I got the same results.

But I realized that setting it up as Exchange server is much better (for me at least) because as IMAP I get many error messages during synchronisation regarding some of the public folders that I don't seem to have permissions to view. I need to dismiss every single one of them by clicking OK, and there are many. Set up as an Exchange Server, Mail.app seems to silently ignore those folders (so it seems at least - unlesss this is a once-only thing and I did that when I initially set up my Exchange account [can't remember, I changed setting so often recently]).

Yep, I just checked, you're right it still queries the server, both wen configured as an IMAP and an Exchange client. Maybe it's the placebo effect, but it feels a bit faster when I have the folder locked and 000oed.
