[Logicmail-devel] Development Version

[George S. <ge...@mh...>]

I've been using the LogicMail 1.9.0(49) build for a while with a Blackberry
Storm and Courier IMAP on the server, and I wanted to give some feedback.

1) It's vastly more reliable than 1.0.x and 1.1.x.
2) I'd really love to see the subscribed folder option that's in 1.1.x on
the devel build.
3) There should be a Delete option available from the menu when you're
reading a message.
4) URLs embedded into messages are not clickable. I have preferred message
format set to HTML.
5) The move function doesn't seem to remove a message from the source
folder. I selected Move from the Inbox to a sub-folder, and there are copies
of the message in both places now. This is not just on the hand-held, but on
the server itself.
6) Delete doesn't work quite right. If I delete a message, it deletes on the
server but the message is still shown in the Inbox. I've set the global
configuration option to hide deleted messages. If I delete, and I have hide
deleted messages set, then the message should no longer be displayed.
7) The user interface could stand a few improvements. One suggestion that
jumps out is handling nested folders. In order to open the Inbox, which has
sub-folders, I have to select the menu folder, click the Menu button, and
then click on "Select". It would be really nice if maybe the default action
was to expand the folder, while pressing down the folder for an extended
period would open it. Sort of like the way the keyboard works. You press the
"s" button, and you get "s". Hold it down longer, and you get "S".

Another improvement would be to have icons for deleting, replying, etc.
visible in the bottom of the screen when you're viewing a message.

It would be nice if you could make some of the buttons bigger on the
dialogs. Examples would be the delete confirmation. If you could make the
buttons half again taller, and twice as wide, that would make them 3 times
larger. That would be a LOT easier to hit.

8) The "Move" function doesn't work right. I can't move things to a message
folder that has sub-folders. For example, I have "Calendar" folder that
contains messages, and "Errors" which is a sub-folder of Calendar. I can't
move the message to the Calendar folder.
9) Attachments aren't handled. With the Blackberry mail client, I can read
PDFs that are attached. Perhaps this is a server-side function and the PDF
isn't actually rendered on the handheld.

If I pull the current code down from Subversion and compile it, is the
Subscribed Folder handling in the repository? If not, is the patch available
someplace so that I could integrate it?
