Hi Rob, > What are the 3 commercial Outlook plugins? Obviously the Toltec one, > but which others? Toltec, Konsec and Bynari(Kolab support in beta AFIAK) > There was a showstopper problem however.

This seemed to > completely defeat the purpose of IMAP to me. Has that been fixed? Not a bug, but a feature :) Outlook makes a clear distinction between storage and transport. In IMAP this gets a bit blurred as the INBOX is also the mechanism for receiving new mail. Using the POP3 moves the mail from the IMAP4 INBOX to the Outlook Inbox. This is handled by both Kontact and Horde. > Also out of interest, how much caching does toltec do?

Any attempt to get from the server > on a "when needed" basis seems like it would never perform well? But once the initial synchronization is done, it just updates that are done. There is no real model for skipping the initial synchronization.
