IMAP problems

[Ravi]

I have tried several times to use Pegasus Mail with the Gmail IMAP server. I have made all the server and authentication settings correctly, to the best of my knowledge. However, the cached headers and / or messages do not get saved between sessions of Pegasus Mail - I have to connect again each time.
Can anyone help me? I would very much like to use Pegasus Mail with the Gmail IMAP server.

I can't help you, but I'll be interested in any responses you get. I've
played a little bit with Pegasus's IMAP feature, but it seemed clumsy
and "tacked on". I'm a big fan of the way it handles POP3 mail, though.
I have been able to talk to Gmail via IMAP with Pegasus, but I haven't
used it consistently enough to address your issue.

I recently became aware that my ISP offers IMAP access to email, and
I'd like to switch over from POP if I like the way Pegasus does it.

I like the way Thunderbird handles IMAP, but I don't like its interface
or features as much as Pegasus.

1) Funnily enough GMAIL is one of my email accounts that does work.
Pegasus 4.70 but also worked under the previous version (4.63)

My settings are:

imap.googlemail.com
Port:993 no timeout
Server supports folders within folders
Always connect when Pegasus starts up
Periodically update every 120 secs
IMAP cache both items unchecked
No items checked under Performance
Via direct SSL connect

I have a number of @btinternet accounts. It works on some and not on
others. I think the previous version was slightly better.

2) IMAP and Pegasus have always been problematic. You are best to
visit http://community.pmail.com/ and search/ask on the forums there
where there are still several experts around.

3) My wife has no problem with IMAP access to her @btinternet account
using Thunderbird. I've just used Pegasus for too long to be bothered
to change but it can be very frustrating as it lags behind in some
areas.

Thanks for your response. I had already made the correct settings in Pegasus Mail (which you have also mentioned) for configuring the programme to access Gmail via IMAP.
I was able to connect to the Gmail server and see the folder structure and individual messages in the Gmail mailbox within the Folder Manager window. When I right clicked an individual folder, I was able to select the "Cache all messages" option and see the messages being cached.
However, after dismounting the mailbox and closing the programme, I am unable to see all the folders in Gmail when I open the programme again. Only the main Gmail mailbox is seen, and it doesn't have any folders in it.
Am I doing something wrong? Could you give me detailed instructions how to use IMAP AFTER configuring Pegasus Mail? Thanks in advance.
Ravi.
