IMAP Outlook + Exchange are joined at the hip and their native communication protocols are MS proprietary, not standard. IMAP, OTOH, is standard and so has to work across a swath of mail servers with varying capabilities. MS has never quite gotten a handle on the problems with Outlook's local mail stores. If you leave everything on the server, things work well. Enable syncing to local storage and things are bound to go off the rails. (And it is not limited to mail stores, the Global Address List is obnoxious too if local sync is enabled.)

Godaddy's mail hosting is in third place with another ~20% - it seems to be some IMAP/POP3 solution, but I can't find details.

People need to organise their shee; search isn't everything - (pwhysall) - (8) - May 10, 2020, 03:29:16 AM EDT

everything comes to the in box, I am only interested in the wanted unread, search for anything else -NT - (boxley) - (7) - May 10, 2020, 05:47:25 PM EDT

Yep. - (malraux) - (6) - May 11, 2020, 09:47:55 AM EDT

I bet you people have disgusting bookshelves, too. -NT - (pwhysall) - (5) - May 11, 2020, 11:19:51 AM EDT

No, but my searchable Kindle books don't need folders either. -NT - (malraux) - (3) - May 11, 2020, 02:30:02 PM EDT

Searching only works when you know what you want to find. -NT - (pwhysall) - (2) - May 11, 2020, 05:05:42 PM EDT

Usually a decent precondition for looking for something, yes. -NT - (malraux) - (1) - May 12, 2020, 10:51:45 AM EDT

Swinky-LRPD: This must be true. They made a bumper sticker. -NT - (Ashton) - May 12, 2020, 03:23:47 PM EDT

Outlook supports sub-folders. - (static) - May 20, 2020, 02:36:30 AM EDT

POP3? That shit should have been taken out behind the barn a long time ago. -NT - (pwhysall) - May 20, 2020, 03:48:37 AM EDT

Some sort of Outlook server - (scoenye) - (12) - May 21, 2020, 08:18:33 PM EDT

I've forgotten the details. - (Another Scott) - (11) - May 22, 2020, 08:13:23 AM EDT

Exchange is *awesome* at folders. - (pwhysall) - (1) - May 22, 2020, 09:41:30 AM EDT

Sounds like it might be a subtle bug in Thunderbird. - (static) - (2) - May 22, 2020, 07:56:48 PM EDT

When connecting with MS using an open standard, I wouldn't assume the OSS app has the bug -NT - (drook) - (1) - May 22, 2020, 10:01:48 PM EDT

Or could be two bugs, one in each. :-) - (static) - May 22, 2020, 11:44:31 PM EDT

Found out the reason, finally... - (Another Scott) - (1) - June 3, 2020, 11:27:28 AM EDT

stigs are pretty dumb they have to be to deal with ISSO's -NT - (boxley) - June 3, 2020, 03:23:37 PM EDT

Perhaps someone needs to clarify a few items in the process so we can actually complete the process.
