I should clarify my previous statement. It'll work if you're not using the stock Android list control. I use K-9 Mail on my Android phone, and it connects to my IMAP server which has dozens of folders (probably at least 100) - and the list is manageable with 100-200 items. I would not want to scroll through 1000+ items, it'd take forever. > 1000 is also the expected practical max we will encounter. Most systems > will have in the low hundreds Well, that's different. "low hundreds" should be manageable. -- Steve Sobol - Programming/WebDev/IT Support sjsobol@JustThe.net
