From theschles at yahoo.com Fri Dec 1 17:30:22 2006 From: theschles at yahoo.com (Philip Schlesinger) Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2006 17:30:22 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Webmail] How do I set Webmail to KEEP my messages in my Yahoo inbox? Message-ID: <188711.43745.qm@web39712.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Hi all. I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find it in the archive. I just tried out the Webmail extension with my Yahoo account. I set Thunderbird to "leave messages on the server" for the account. Instead, every message that was pulled down via POP3 was deleted from my Yahoo account. Luckily, I found the Mail Redirect extension for Thunderbird and put all the messages back. Meanwhile, I'd like to figure out how to configure the Webmail extension to leave the messages on the server so I can do my Yahoo emailing on the Yahoo website or through Thunderbird and still know I can trust to find the emails in either location. Is this just not possible with the POP3 function of the Webmail extension? IMAP would permit this - does Yahoo Mail permit IMAP? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, - Phil ----- "To other boaters wind and waves are obstructions; to sailors they are sustenance." -- Charles J.

That means, pull all the mail from the server (pop server) and either remove it or leave it there. POP servers aren't set up for synchronization like IMAP. This would be somewhat difficult to do, as you'd have to continually list all the mail folders and then have the client "guess" at the content differences. I.e., think of one person replying to the same email message but with different contents. The POP client (Thunderbird) can't tell the difference between the messages based only on subject without re-downloading the message, so you have to download the whole message to tell the difference. That makes the interface probably seem sluggish. And if you ever run out of quota, it can really be a pain to synchronize again. Yahoo has added some IMAP-like features, like folders and such, but it's still POP. Same with gmail as well. If you want folders and true IMAP functionality, you'll have to get yourself an IMAP mail server. It might be possible to configure a linux server at home to pull the email from yahoo, etc. (via POP), and then move the mail to your IMAP server. IMAP is set up so that you don't have to always download all folders to synchronize (where this is very difficult with POP). >From my understanding, POP was only designed to pull all the mail from a server, and not for synchronization. It's just too bad that no major ISPs implement IMAP, as it truly saves them bandwidth. But it does cost them space, which is why I think they opt for POP. Now, if GMAIL supported IMAP (and not POP), that would truly rock! I think this is right, but if I'm mistaken, please someone correct me. -Rob ____________________________________________________________________________________ Want to start your own business?

Dunno. It works with Hotmail here (live beta). If I select "leave messages on server" in the POP settings, the email doesn't get deleted from Hotmail. Maybe the message ID is used to tell if to download or not, and for that info, only the header is needed.

It's awesome, you should probably do that. Another reason why I signed up for Gmail is because MSN Hotmal, is not compatible with Mozilla Thunderbird, & I recently started using Thunderbird frequently, so Hotmail is totally out of date. I definitely suggest you switch over, then you wont have to deal with any of those problems or questions you're receiving :) From danthemaneater at gmail.com Sat Dec 16 13:59:47 2006 From: danthemaneater at gmail.com (Daniel Nguyen) Date: Sat, 16 Dec 2006 13:59:47 -0800 Subject: [Webmail] hotmail extensions In-Reply-To: References: <458438A7.50205@gmail.com> Message-ID: <45846C53.9010706@gmail.com> Randy Spear wrote: > There is a special extension you need.

Works fine with Hotmail Beta here. You must select "Hotmail website (BETA)" in the extension settings of Webmail - Hotmail. And I believe once you switch to Beta, you can go back to regular Hotmail if you don't like it. PS: I recommend to switch to GMail which supports POP3. I had less headaches that way. It also doesn't insert adds in your email ("Try MSN BLAH BLAH NOW!

As I said, all you have to do is select "Hotmail website (BETA)" in the preferences of the Hotmail extension for it to work with the Beta of Hotmail. Works fine here.

This is the effect of the missed conversion of the plus sign into %2B if you wish, this is why the appears as a space as is a usual encoding for space. This occurs with traditional versions (non-beta). As indicated earlier this is a minor defect with usual text writing but become a showstopper for encrypted emails where the plus sign is very common and as results the encrypted message is then corrupted.

After I logged in to Hotmail via the website and deleted the message, Webmail was working fine again.
