Description nw9165-3201 2014-05-26 01:54:57 UTC 
Dear Claws Mail developers,

in Sylpheed, when right clicking on an IMAP top-level folder (IMAP account name) in the folder list, you can select "Download" from a menu. After selecting "Download", a dialog pops up which is asking "Download all messages under 'IMAP account name'?". When selecting "Yes", Sylpheed then downloads all the messages from that IMAP account.

In Claws Mail you can also right click on an IMAP top-level folder (IMAP account name) in the folder list and then select "Download messages". However, when doing so, nothing happens.

I assume this is a bug (?), because right clicking on a single folder under an IMAP top-level folder and then selecting "Download" from the menu does work. But of course then Claws Mail only downloads the messages from that single folder, not the entire account.

Please fix Claws Mail, so that downloading all the messages from an IMAP at once does work, just like it does in Sylpheed.

It would be much appreciated.

Regards

PS:

It's not working in the new Claws Mail 3.10.0 either.

If no-one in the team fixed that, then you can probably guess that the team knows that the situation in the current code is the same. All you are doing is adding to your noise.

"Download" is not recursive, use "Check for new messages" for that.
