TOPIC

    This article discusses compatibility of AppleShare IP (ASIP) 6.x and the IMAP client in Netscape Communicator 4.5.


DISCUSSION

    ASIP 6.0 and the IMAP client in Netscape Communicator 4.5 are not compatible.

    In addition, there is a problem with Netscape Communicator 4.5 and AppleShare IP 6.1 IMAP support. Although the AppleShare IP 6.1 Mail Server supports nested IMAP folders, Communicator will not properly display these nested folders. The folders are still present and all mail in them is still intact -- the nested folder simply fails to appear in Communicator's mailbox browser. If your AppleShare IP mail account contains nested folders, you will not be able to access them with Netscape Communicator 4.5.

    At this time Apple recommends the use of other IMAP clients for access to nested folders. The AppleShare IP 6.1 Mail Server is fully compatible with a number of other IMAP clients offering full support for nested folders, including Netscape Communicator 4.04.
