A comment on the problem "'Save' returns to front page after saving" in PBwiki:

Hi Clif,

Thanks for your reply - For some reason, this suddenly stopped occurring, so maybe it is indeed something that was present on the page.

Thanks anyway! – Thomas, on May 08, 2009 12:42

'Save' returns to front page after saving

When I edit a page and click 'Save' in PBWorks, it saves the page but then returns to the front page of the wiki, which is frustrating as I have to keep going back to the page in question if I decide to make more changes. Is there a way around this?

Clicking save returns to front page

When I edit a page and click 'Save', it saves the page but then returns to the front page of the wiki, which is annoying as I have to keep going back to the page in question to see what the changes look like. Is there a way around this?

A comment on the problem "Some tags disappear with IMAP email" in Postbox, Inc.:

Hi Seth,

Thanks for your reply! My IMAP server requires me to use SSL, so I use port 993. But the telnet command hangs after the 'Escape Character' line:

telnet cfa-imap.harvard.edu 993
Trying 131.142.24.238...
Connected to cfa-imap.cfa.harvard.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.

Thanks,

I'm getting the same problem - a few days *before* installing the beta, *all* messages suddenly refused to copy to send, and in fact I can't move *any* messages to any folders anymore. It's not an IMAP server thing as it's happening with four different IMAP servers, including Gmail. I thought b8 would fix it, but it hasn't. Any ideas?

This is on MacOS 10.5. On my 10.4 machine, with the *same* servers, Postbox works fine!

IMAP server directory problem

Hi,

I have 4 different IMAP email accounts, which all have different (or no in two cases) IMAP server directories. However, when I set one of them, it often applies the changes to other accounts too. This is very problematic! Would it be possible to fix this?

Thanks!

Thomas

A comment on the idea "IMAP, Topics, and Syncing" in Postbox, Inc.:

Thanks for your reply! Since the topics are stored as part of the messages, would an easy (temporary) solution not be that when Postbox indexes messages, it also compiles a list of the topics attached to each message, and automatically makes all these topics available?. That would still mean running 're-index all messages' manually, but might be a quick fix? – Thomas, on March 05, 2009 00:04

I'm still having this problem. A typical problem goes:

- I tag a message in the inbox
- I archive the message by pressing 'a' or clicking on 'Archive'
- I go to the Archive folder, and the tag has disappeared
- I re-tag the message. Two things can occur:
-> for most messages, the topic finally sticks
-> for some messages, the topic just never stays. This is when the 'unknown property: word-wrap' message appears

I am using IMAP. Any idea what is going on here?

I second that request - I also use Postbox on two computers with an IMAP server. If I tag and archive emails on one computer, the emails are tag-less on the other computer unless I manually create that tag/topic.

Marking messages as 'not junk' would move them to inbox

It would be great if there was an option in the preferences that said:

When I mark messages as 'Not junk':
- Do not move them
- Move them to the inbox

Just a thought!

Some tags disappear with IMAP email

I use Postbox with an IMAP email account. For some reason, about one quarter of my emails just refuse to be tagged. I tag them, then if I click on another email and click on the original one again, the tag disappears. The error console shows the following warning:

Warning: Unknown property 'word-wrap'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: imap://xxxx@imap.xxxxxx:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E1512
Line: 0

Although I'm not sure if that warning message is related.
