Connecting to GMail via IMAP works with no issues at a high level. First item - I have multiple sub-folders and Google itself sorts some incoming messages into several Categories (Promotions, Forums, etc.). In other mail clients, I can trigger a "rebuild the folder tree" function of some sort which then retrieves my folders /categories and populates them within the app. I can't seem to find that feature /function in InScribe - is it here? Should it have automagickally happened and I hosed something? Second item - when I try to switch to "Thread" view, the app crashes (no displayed error). Third item - is there any way to add columns to the display, e.g. attachments present, sending priority, etc.? |

That is only the folders though. For the mail in the folders you can right click on the folder and use "Refresh" to sync the local cache with the server. Second item - when I try to switch to "Thread" view, the app crashes (no displayed error). It's not a well maintained feature. For the time being just avoid using it (you can hide the button by right clicking on the toolbar). Third item - is there any way to add columns to the display, e.g. attachments present, sending priority, etc.? Similarly you can right click on the columns to add/remove things. The presence of an attachment is shown by the paper clip added to the email list item icon. The sending priority is already in the default column list, it's the exclamation icon column. |

I see none of my sub-folders, no "+" or ">" symbols to expand a folder, nada. Folder view Folder details Similar lack of options when right-clicking on the headers bar. Thus my questions. :-) |
