I don't use dimap, and haven't been losing mail :-) I have seen other comments about dimap problems, but at the same time I have seen reports of people using it very successfully. It may be that some of the problems are distro-specific - I know certain other problems are. I'm looking forward to getting the Enterprise kde-pim. It sounds to be very robust. Meanwhile, I struggle on with this problem. It never happened in the past, and I'm sure that in the end either I will find the problem or an update will cure it. I've used imap for around 3 years, and there's no way I'm giving up now :-) Anne
