12.6 IMAP4 Features

12.6.1 Subscribing and Unsubscribing to IMAP4 Folders

This feature is available if your IMAP4 server supports subscribing and unsubscribing to folders. When you unsubscribe to a folder, it no longer displays in your list of folders under the IMAP4 server, even though it is still in your IMAP4 account. This is especially useful if you are accessing an NNTP account through an IMAP4 folder.

  1. Click Accounts > Account Options.

  2. Click the IMAP4 account, then click Folders.

  3. Click the All tab to see all the folders in this account.

    or

    Click the Subscribed tab to see the folders you are currently subscribed to.

  4. If you want to list folders containing specific text in the folder name (instead of listing all of the folders), type the text in the Search for Folders Containing text box, then click Search.

  5. Click the folder name, then click Subscribe.

    or

    To unsubscribe to a folder, click the folder name, then click Unsubscribe.

  6. Click Close.

12.6.2 Alphabetizing the Folders in an IMAP4 Account

  1. In the Full Folder List, right-click the IMAP4 account folder, then click Sort Subfolders.

This option is not available if the folders are already alphabetized.

12.6.3 Downloading Only the Header (Subject) for IMAP4 Accounts

  1. Click Accounts > Account Options.

  2. Click the IMAP4 account, then click Properties.

  3. Click the Advanced tab.

  4. Select Download headers only.

  5. Click OK, then click Close.

After downloading the headers (subjects) of items, you can download the complete item by opening the item while you are connected to the Internet.

12.6.4 Downloading Voice Mail Attachments through an IMAP4 Account

If you are accessing a telephony server through this IMAP4 account, GroupWise can download the external file bodies for voice mail attachments.

  1. Click Accounts > Account Options.

  2. Click the IMAP4 account, then click Properties.

  3. Click the Advanced tab.

  4. Select Download external file bodies.

  5. Click OK, then click Close.

12.6.5 Deleting Items from an IMAP4 Mail Server

When you delete an item, it is marked for deletion on the IMAP4 server. To remove the item, you need to purge it. You can download only the subject (header) of an item, or you can download the entire item. You can move items from another folder into an IMAP4 folder, and the items are created on the IMAP4 server. Items marked with a strikethrough indicate that an item was deleted from the server but still exists in GroupWise.
