Disconnected Mode Operations

Introduction

Messages in remote IMAP mailboxes can be cached locally for use when the computer running Mulberry is not connected to a network. These messages can be read and otherwise manipulated in the normal manner, and any changes made to messages while in disconnected mode will be reflected in their online counterparts the next time a network connection is made. This is known as disconnected mode operation.

In order to use an IMAP mailbox in disconnected mode, you must first synchronize that mailbox with a local cache. There is some preparation necessary before IMAP mailboxes can be synchronized for disconnected use:

Disconnecting

To switch Mulberry into disconnected mode, select the Disconnect… item from the File menu.

Connecting

To switch Mulberry into disconnected mode, select the Connect… item from the File menu.

Manual Synchronization

When Mulberry is in connected mode, individual mailboxes can be synchronised without switching into disconnected mode. To do this, either select a mailbox in the server window or open a mailbox and view its captions in a mailbox window, and then select Synchronise... from the Mailbox menu.
