 Sorry for not especifying all the data needed...
 
 I'm using IMP 2.2 ...
 Is there any IMP or PHP function I can put after the code that
 sends the email in order to automove it to the Trash folder?

 The error doesn't matter. In this case, was an Oracle error indicating
 that the entry already exists in the database (I was trying to re-insert
 a contact that already exist)... All I want is not to view the errors
 on the screen before PHP prints the HTML.

 No, it's 2.2. It has an upper and left frame (the upper one has the
 IMP 2.2.5 and the "all right" hand icon, and the left one has all the
 options (INBOX, Compose...).

 But ... anyway, on the ADD CONTACT button I could disable the
 "," protection to that it accepts addresses like:

 1@d.com, 2@d.com

 (I would like to create contacts for multiple addresses).

 I don't see that option :?

 Ok, I'm doing :-)
 

 CU and thanks a lot!

Subject: 2.3.7 questions

I have recently set up both 2.2 and 2.3.7.  I was impressed with 2.2, and even 
more impressed with 2.3.7.  Despite 2.3.7 being a development version, I will 
probably make it available for staff use, as I have found no show-stoppers in 
initial testing.

I have some questions about 2.3.7.

1.  I set the 'locked' property of the save_sent_mail property, but the user 
can still uncheck this in the compose screen.  I'm not sure whether locking the 
preference just keeps the item from appearing in the options menu, or if it 
should also prevent the user from unchecking the "Save a copy in" box in the 
compose window.

2.  In 2.3.7, there seems to be no way to to get to 'contacts' from within the 
compose window.  Am I overlooking something?

3.  Does the filtering accept wildcards, or does it just to exact (sub)string 
matches?

4.  It would perhaps be nice if there was a configuration setting that would 
cause the INBOX filters to execute anytime the new mail check is done.

5.  When one replies to a message, the formatting of the quoted reply text gets 
messed up, since the quoted text markers (> ) cause the text to exceed the line 
length.  Pine has me spoiled, as it re-formats the quoted text so it looks 
okay.  A possibility for the future?

6.  It would perhaps be nice if there was an option that would cause a spell 
check to occur before any message was sent.

7.  It would be nice if the 'Expand Names' option worked for more than just 
the 'full name'.  If an e-mail username is listed without a qualified domain, 
but the username itself was unambiguous in LDAP, it could expand with the 
user's full name and fully-qualify the e-mail address.  Or, since IMP knows the 
local e-mail domain, it could use this info plus the username to do the 
expansion.  This would be especially convenient since there is (currently) no 
way to access contacts from within the composer.

8.  I would like the ability to select several messages in the index view, and 
forward them to my choice of recipients.

9.  I have been experiencing a problem where my IMP session becomes hung.  I 
have not yet been able to find a particular pattern.  I know this isn't much to 
go on, but any ideas on what could be happening, or things that I can look at?

10. I would like to disable the user ability to set full name, but instead have 
IMP use the LDAP name value.  Is this possible?

It's easy to make suggestions, and I know that some of these may be a low 
priority.  I wanted to verify whether my understanding is correct, and share my 
experiences with IMP 2.3.7.  I'm looking forward to future improvements to what 
is already a solid web mail offering.

Paul.
