About this site

For six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul

IMAP rocks
But it's better on the Mac, go figure, where I can configure Entourage to use specific server-side folders for Sent Items and Drafts. On the PC, Outlook Express doesn't offer a "find" dialog, and instead requires you to enter the paths to these special folders. Since they're under Inbox, I tried Inbox.Sent Items and so on, which works on the Mac, but not on the PC (which complains that "." is not an allowable character). I'm still trying (next I'll see how Mozilla handles this), but no matter. Another step away from email hell is well underway. Good stuff.

Update: OK, Mozilla works fine (again, go figure) and lets you specify which folders to use for IMAP special folders. Smart. But, it's sssllllloooowwwww sending mail, and pops up an annoying "Sending mail..." dialog. Gotta work on this.
