| Author/Date | Filter before download |
| Bob 19/07/2004 10:02pm | i.scribe is downloading all the emails and then filtering them. Is it possible to filter(delete) on server before downloading the mail? |
| Bardo 20/07/2004 3:41am | Hi Bob,
I think you just missed one of the major features of Scribe. You use the preview (messages on the pop-server), make your pick on downloading and/or deleting messages on the server and you're all set! Easy as Scribe :-) |
| fReT 20/07/2004 8:22pm | Bob: Currently you can't create a server side filter. I've been resisting this because it's quite ineffient unless the message is quite large. It causes the headers to be downloaded twice, which I don't like on principle. And of course the pop viewer does give the software manual functionality in that area.
But then I guess if I was on dial up I'd probably care more right? The other annoying thing is that I'd have to change quite a lot of code to allow server side filtering. Which is not really that appealing while I'm trying to get the software stable. So it's not something I could do straight away, I'll put it on my "nice to have" list ok? |
