Beam email client - Apple iCloud probs

Software

There are two RFCs out there that are in one way or another current.
I can confirm that in the latest IMAP RFC I can find, RFC 9051, FETCH RFC822 is gone. But that’s actually IMAPrev2, not IMAPrev1 - and iCloud’s IMAP services says “IMAPrev1”, which means you should be able to expect it to meet RFC 3501 - and that has FETCH RFC822.

Nor is New mentioned as a standard flag; that would be \Recent, for my purposes.
In IMAPrev2 that is “deprecated”, no explanation but it is somewhat complicated. There’s a lot more about flags and keywords that I’ve never cared to look into, that a lot of clients make extensive use of. You should be able to see the basic setup in the SELECT response.

If they have an IMAPrev2-only implementation, I don’t think they can legitimately declare IMAPrev1 - that would be multiple violations.

No they were 0 kb and lack attributes such as subject line. I now am playing with the mail app.

Edit: I have uninstalled Beam and set up Mail app. As @nephele says, it will probably have to co-exist with another client for serious e-mailing, but at a pinch should be able to find and respond to recent emails without having to leave Haiku.

I have the same issues with iCloud on RISC OS. I have an IMAP client for RISC OS, but I get weird stuff happening like no subject, the date of emails is 200 years in to the future. My other IMAP account works fine.
