that’s whacked

offline email

my kingdom for a good disconnected/offline IMAP capable email client.

i love mutt. i’m used to mutt. mutt does everything i want, EXCEPT have offline email support. this is not surprising, since it keeps to the KISS philosophy of unix tools.

i just don’t think i can go back to using evolution, it’s never been good to me… or maybe i just somehow had the “trash all my mail every 28 days” option turned on. i was looking forward to using thunderbird, which seems to do everything i want EXCEPT it patently refuses to check any of my subfolders for new mail. this is…to put it bluntly, annoying and lame. i don’t want to have to manually click on every single folder to scan for new mail. this is retarded. and yes i have the checkallimapfoldersfor_new option turned on. and yes, i even right clicked on every single folder and checked the “Check this folder for new messages” option. but thunderbird still refuses to check any subfolders.

urrrrrgh. anyone have any ideas? this is driving me crazy.
