Hi

I caused the ticket 8986 to be raised and recently joined the list to not only
follow up, but also see where I can help out. I also note there was a
discussion on this list around the same time.

It's my understanding that the issue is the current default Claws
configuration of the Drafts / Queue folders being over IMAP (and being auto-
saved) when they are perhaps better local (RAM disk or persistent volume).

It's also my belief that a solution be documented as soon as possible to
publicize to existing users on existing versions the risk and how to mitigate
it.

So, a newbie to the list and processes used here.

Any pointers to process & tools would be appreciated. I'll take this on :)

Shine,

Adam.
