IMAP and virtual foldersIMAP and virtual foldersPosted Jan 30, 2008 19:01 UTC (Wed) by dskoll (subscriber, #1630)In reply to: IMAP and virtual folders by fergal Parent article: The beginning of Thunderbird 3 planning
IMAP support always seems to be bolted on afterwards Sadly, that's true. I can imagine the development going something like this: "Aaaah! There are all these weird mail stores out there. Let's abstract out a generic mailstore and specialize it for each actual store." "OK, what can a mail store do? Well, let's look at POP3 and see.." The generic mail store API is then designed around POP3 and has no idea how to use the more advanced facilities offered by IMAP. :-(
