If it worked with IMAP. I wouldn't be posting this. I even filed a bug report of which "ivazquez" CLOSED stating "HE HAD NO TIME FOR THIS.". That is verbatim from the Mantis bug report email I received.
THIS IS NOT the way to resolve problems that are identified by the people testing your product. We take the time to give it a shot... report bugs and issues... and if it works, guess what? WE REFER OTHER PEOPLE TO USE IT! That response, ivanquez was highly improper and I'm sure not the attitude FO wants to project.
I am beyond frustrated. Having worked with plenty of open source projects in the past, this is one project where I feel people would rather blindly say "it works". If it worked, you wouldn't get multiple people reporting back that it DOES NOT.
