Description nw9165-3201 2014-05-25 21:43:25 UTC

DearClaws Mail developers,

just out of curiosity, I recently tried out Trojitá:

http://trojita.flaska.net/

So far, I like Claws Mail better ;).

However, Trojitá still has some features I liked.

One of them is the "IMAP Server Information" feature, which can be accessed via:

Menubar -> IMAP -> Debugging -> IMAP Server Information...

What is does is, it opens a dialog (window) which shows you the capabilities/features of the IMAP server that you are connected to (e.g. IMAP IDLE and so on) and also shows you what type of IMAP server you are connected to (e.g. Dovecot and so on).

Could you please add such a feature to Claws Mail as well?

It would be much appreciated.

Regards

Hi,

You can see all of this, and more, in the Network Log window.

thanks for the hint, but:

No, I can not. It looks like I can not see what kind of mail server I am connected to (Dovecot and so on) for example in the network log.

In Trojitá I can.

Hi,

You can see it if the server says so. If it doesn't, I can't see how we could know it. We could try to guess it but that would be often wrong, and more importantly completely useless as IMAP is a standard.

Also, please don't reopen bugs that have been closed unless you have been invited to do so.
