The folder -> label mapping is interesting… I was wondering how they would do that when we were talking about this a few weeks back.

If you’re using an English version of Outlook 2002, Outlook 2003, or Outlook Express, but your web interface is set to a language that uses non-Latin characters, your folder names will not display properly. In addition, some subject and sender names may show as garbled text. This is an issue with these versions of Microsoft Outlook. For more details, please contact Microsoft’s customer service department.
it’s still a little unclear to me how multiple labels map to folders
IMAP clients store a copy of a message for each label in which it appears. For example, if one particular message in your web Gmail account has the labels, ‘From Best Friends,’ ‘Classmates,’ and ‘Soccer,’ then the same message will be stored four times in your mail client; three times for each label and once in the ‘All Mail’ folder. If the message is starred, it will be downloaded a fifth time in the ‘Starred’ folder.
Just a fyi IMAP was invented in 1986, in case you want to update your personal 1986: Annus Mirabilis folders.
if only someone would build a slick cocoa gui client using the same ideas.
i will never use this mail client but i must say I find it heartwarming that these maniacs exist. “I want my email to look like a travel agent’s computer in 1985 and I will stop at nothing to make that happen!”
too bad tbird still kinda sucks it.
Elaborate.
search is horrible/nonexistent for one thing. &c &c
