What is the IMAP equivalent of POP-file [OR] How to sort / classify with only headers

[posts]

[....repeated... as there were no follow ups earlier ...]


Hi


Thanks for the replies



I use Microsoft Office Outlook 2003. I can't see any version number

Ok. The full body is *NOT* downloaded with IMAP

So, are there any *other* programs / outlook add-ons that will
automatically download IMAP mail or download and classify IMAP mail ?

1) Is the full message body downloaded? Rules won't run on headers
only. Otherwise, rules should work on imap - what version of
Outlook do you use?

2) Outlook doesn't support delete from server - it needs the full
body to process. Use a utility like mailwasher.

3) Outlook suipports delayed send but not all servers support it
and some versions of Outlook handle it better than others. You can
create a rule to delay by xx min or use task scheduler to send at a
future date.

4) Right click and choose send email or click and look on the
actions menu. You can't change the behavior of double click.

IMAP
--------------

1) How do I make rules work on IMAP accounts - Can I write
rules so that automatically IMAP mail will be transferred
from the IMAP server to specified folders on **my** machine ?

At least can I transfer mail automatically from the IMAP folder
to my Machine's Inbox by triggering a rule ?


POP3
--------------

2) How do I delete unwanted mail FROM the POP3 server (i.e.)
how to avoid downloading and then deleting ? - OE 5 had a
facility to delete from server ...


General
-----------

3) If I wish to send a mail to a friend - but at a future date -
say his / her birthday, is is possible to automate this with a
rule ? Provided Outlook is running then

4) I wish to click on a contact and send mail to that contact.
However in the contact pane, If I click on a contact, only the
contact opens. How to change this behavior, if possible



Thanks in advance

But the option to download the body is available. Choose it and rules
should run.

Outlook rules should be able to handle IMAP accounts, if you elect to
download the messages.

I'm afraid I don't understand. POP and IMAP protocols work in completely
different ways. POP messages raraely stay on the server, but IMAP messages
always stay on the server.

Hi

Thanks for the replies

should run.

How do I set this option ... I tried Tools -> options and -> E mail
accounts etc.

Somehow couldn't find the option to **automatically* download full
message(s) from IMAP accounts :-((

Is there a way to automatically download complete message(s) from my
IMAP accounts into my inbox or into some folder and make the rules
work ?

is yes, please give me the steps

POP **file*, helps in *sorting* POP mail and avoiding / deleting Junk.

Is there a similar utility for IMAP - something that will sort or
delete Junk / spam (as specified by me) from the IMAP server so that I
can save bandwidth by just deleting them from server rather than d/l
the mail and deleting from *my* machine


Thanks in adv
