It's true that there are some issues with off-line IMAP, particularly if you include addressbook and calendar etc.. Some people get it working perfectly, but many don't. I, too, look forward to the new pim, but it may be next year before it arrives. (I wonder if Daniel was using dimap when he complained of multiple copies of messages? That's the reason I gave up, when I tested it.) Anne
