New feature 'total free space in IMAP account' is different

Post by poet-man »

Hi there,

maybe somebody can tell me, what I misunderstand?
We now (9.9) have a new feature, displaying free space, available by right-click on mail account name and choosing Properties there.

In my case (German version) there is no 'Properties'. Choosing "Bearbeitungsverlauf" there, it displays account-name, number of messages, but then used diskspace as total amount only. I had expected something like 'xy GB of yx GB (.. %) used'. At least that's what latest blog posting suggests.

Am I looking for that feature at the wrong place or is shown information different in Pro-Version?

Thanks

The feature is available for IMAP type of email accounts only. Please check if the one you're trying it on is not POP3.
Android version of EssentialPIM. Keep all your data in sync!

I do have IMAP only. 4 accounts

Just did update to 9.9.6.
You see image I get after that.
Before that it not only displayed size, but description to that size as well (something like "total space")
But NOW only numbers appear, no description, and also nothing that blog post describes

If it helps... in My 2 IMAP accounts [ Rt Clk Properties ] I only see what you see:
Acct name,
# of Messages,
and x.x MB used --so it isn't just your App IF it is supposed to show more.
I presume what it shows is what is intended.
EPIM PRO LIFE 11.8.4 - Win 10 Pro - 22H2 --- ESET EIS Prem - Mbam Prem - Diskeeper Pro '15 - Macrium Pd v8

Thanks for helping.
Just thought the data should be like shown in latest blog post.
So maybe different versions (i.e. business version), whereas it wouldn't be bad, to know, what the size (2,0 MB here) is about. Before 9.6.6 there was a description in that line.

It looks like not all IMAP servers support this feature.
Android version of EssentialPIM. Keep all your data in sync!
