Subject: [Imap-protocol] IMAP features: which clients use them?
|
|
Message-ID: <07Mar20.114847pst."57996"@synergy1.parc.xerox.com>
|

|
I'm intrigued by the charts of email client capabilities on Wikipedia
|
|
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-mail_clients). You'll
|
|
notice that almost all the clients claim to support IMAP4 (even the
|
|
ones which don't support STARTTLS, like Outlook :-).
|
|
|
|
There's a column in the Wikipedia chart labelled "Database, folders,
|
|
and customization" which purports to show which clients use IMAP
|
|
search. I'm interested in knowing more about a fairly narrow topic:
|
|
which clients use IMAP search, and how they use it. Is there such a
|
|
chart? Or listing? I'd be happy to put one together if folks want to
|
|
mail me contributions.
|
|
|
|
In fact, I'd like to make a version of this chart which calls out more
|
|
specifically IMAP features and usage, so that folks who want to use
|
|
IMAP mail services can have a better idea of which clients will be
|
|
most useful to them. What should those features be?
|
