I read something on the (excellent) Entourage Help Site at
http://www.entourage.mvps.org/ that got me thinking.
I use .Mac with IMAP and other than the 15MB limit - OK for personal use but
of course it could be better - I love it. All my mail, anywhere.
I have Entourage set so that each of my subfolders - there are 17 apart from
the Inbox and a further 10 nested in those - gets checked and synced every
minute, or when I'm on the road, a connection cycles through each folder
once. I want my main mail checked with maximum frequency. Although I don't
filter my mail into folders, I do file and re-file mail a lot while at work
on my PC (using .Mac Webmail) and I want those changes to be automatically
reflected on my Mac at home. This isn't ideal as it takes almost a minute to
get through all of this, and whenever I quit I am almost always asked if I
want to interrupt a network connection.
On the support site I saw someone refer to "subscribing" to an IMAP folder.
Can someone tell me if this would be better than what I am doing, and what
the differences are? (Feel free to refer me to a bit of the FAQ, but my
browsing and searching didn't turn anything up.)
Thanks in advance - great group!
