This question has been asked several times before, but no one ever responded. Figured I'd try again.
Is it possible to use TB, locally, the same way we used to with POP3, but with IMAP being used to retrieve messages? Let me elaborate. Some of us have to use IMAP to download email. In my case, it's all I have available. Using POP3 is something that's reserved for members with a higher level of membership (paid email service).
I do not use online folders or anything of that nature. I download my mail, and then have it automatically filtered into various folders. Newer versions of TB, as far as I can tell, don't allow this as they once did. If you choose IMAP for the account, it makes a lot of assumptions of how we do things. It won't let me create local folders, for one thing. I'm still using 1.62, because it's the last version I could use that actually worked. I would like to start using the newer versions, but can't until I solve this problem. IMAP may be the protocal for getting the mail, but that's it. Everything else is the same as when it was POP3.
Side note: I did try to use TB 3, just to see if I could use it the way it's wanting me to, but that didn't work. All I could get was a list of my mail. Nothing would actually download, no matter what I did. Fresh install, no plugins (unless they came by default), no reason I can think of for the errors, but nothing works.
