Hi folks. I just learned of the upcoming official IMAP support, and I
wanted to thank you all for your work on the effort. I've been a *huge*
fan of IMAP mail for a couple years now, and have been using it on po14
for some time as well. I believe it really will enable more mature mail
use for all of MIT. But you all know this already, clearly! :)
I had a quick question. I noticed that there is a 50MB quota for IMAP
mail...that's quite generous, obviously, but I'm wondering how we can
check that quota. I'm curious to know how much I've used so far. In
addition, are instructions going to be published on things like deleting
attachments without deleting the message, or downloading attachments
locally, while leaving the message on the server? (or are these things
not possible?)
In addition, while putting together documentation, I'm not sure if you
are interested in supporting ssh-tunelled IMAP, but it's remarkably
effective through corporate firewalls, etc. I use ssh tunelling to get
IMAP mail in and outside of my company's intranet for both work mail and
MIT mail. It adds another level of convenience. Just thought I'd
mention it as a slightly more advanced feature that you might want to
throw in to the docs somewhere.
Thanks again! I look forward to official support on Oct. 2, although
I've been quite pleased with MIT IMAP so far!
Will
