[chandler-users] email

[Rick Rawson]

My experience with Chandler email:

My message will be of limited use in troubleshooting problems with 
email, but might be of some encouragement, since the recent spate of 
emails might suggest that Chandler email is the Achilles heal that will 
deep-six the whole effort.

I have been using email in Chandler for ~6 months and have never had a 
problem. Setup was smooth and trouble free. Emails come into Chandler 
without dups and, as far as I know, I never miss one. I use Thunderbird 
v2.0 and my university is my ISP. My colleague has had the same experience.

In Thunderbird, if I manually move an email into my Chandler IMAP 
folder, then Chandler will reflect that move after I SYNC. If I access 
my email using my browser, rather than Thunderbird, and move email into 
my Chandler IMAP folder, then Chandler will reflect that move after I 
SYNC, as well. In other words, Chandler email works as expected.

One behavior that is a little unexpected is that if I move an email OUT 
of my Chandler IMAP folder, via either Thunderbird or my browser app, 
Chandler will retain that email in its InBox. Similarly, if I delete an 
email from WITHIN Chandler, that deletion is not reflected in my IMAP 
folder after SYNCing.

It seems that Chandler _imports_ email from my IMAP folder, but does not 
truly _synchronize_ the contents of its own InBox with the IMAP folder.
