Stop Mail.app from caching too many IMAP folders
Authored by: sjk on Oct 25, '05 07:53:36PM

I'll be reporting this, too, hopefully incrementing the duplicate counter closer to what's necessary for Apple to take action and fix it. I'm eventually migrating from Mulberry (sadly, its company recently filed for bankruptcy) and this is one of several key IMAP-related issues that need fixing before I'd seriously consider Apple Mail as a replacement. With some help from Cyrus Daboo (orĀ other equally talented, experienced IMAP expert) as a technical consultant Apple might get the half-baked implementation closer to being fully cooked.

Excluding Mulberry, Thunderbird may have the best IMAP support of any OS X mail client right now but I'd rather not use it for reasons that are important to me. Unfortunately other choices go down hill quickly. There may be hope for Qualcomm's Cocoa re-implementation of Eudora but a public beta hasn't been released yet.

E-mail is the world's most popular online service yet finding an acceptably tolerable client (it needn't be perfect) remains frustratingly elusive for me.
