Are you insinuating that they don't appreciate my well crafted 
up and running postings? I work hard on those!

 I'm sure Ritlabs are thrilled to bits by your revelatory

 What can I say? I have become a Ritlabs automaton. They say PAY! and
 my hand proceeds jerkily towards my wallet. They issue a new version
 and I yet again craft an up and running prose complete with all my
 system information for their perusal. My free will is gone. [sigh]

No you have become a BAT!holic. UR is just the same RITual as, let's
say, skoal with a good glass of wine. Not all who skoal have good
knowledge on wine nor are good 'tester' - ähm - 'taster'. Some only
consume too much - that's why we call them BAT!holic - ups - I mean
Alcoholic. Alcoholics can't taste nor test unless there is a Wine show
(something like the Beta ML) where all gather and test. Once you
decided to get a BAT!ttle that you will carry home you have to pay for.

Hi Christian,


 Why the HELL do you guys think i should pay for an upgrade to 4.x when
 not  even  half  the  bugs  have  been  fixed from 3.x?? 

Well, interface got a slight makeover, hasn't it? Makes it a little 
harder to read and wastes a little more screen space than before, but 
it's change, isn't it?

And you saying that nothing at all had changed... Now, really.


 And since the functionality / design / usage / etc. is still 3.x -
 this is ridiculous to call this version 4.x - just because you need
 and want to fill your pockets once again.

To be frank, the new fee isn't even the core issue for me. I did pay
for a new version of Outlook/Office after all, new versions of
respectable programs are usually not free. While I can well live with
that, I also expect something for it. I want to see the program
progressing (as in: getting better, opposed to regressing, as in
TheBat), and I need to be convinced that the developement team has
their stuff together. What RIT has demonstrated around here the past
few years is a joke.


 NO WAY!

Of course not. Since the TheBat developement desaster has been
established (and this tragedy has been going on for years, let noone
say there were no warnings) I've been transitioning the clients I
service away from TheBat, some towards free alternatives like
ThunderBird, some to Outlook, some to payed products. I'm the only one
still using it around here, and that will cease too as soon as I've
grown accustomed to the new surroundings in other programs. In the
meantime there surely won't be a cent coming out of my own or, for
that matter, my clients' pocket going even in the general direction of
RIT.

Hi Christian,

 Why the HELL do you guys think i should pay for an upgrade to 4.x when
 not  even  half  the  bugs  have  been  fixed from 3.x?? 

Years ago, I bought from Rhinosoft their excellent FTP-Server 'Serv-U'. In the
price  was one year upgrade guaranteed. (you can also choose for a 2-year
upgrade guarantee, you've to pay more of course then). After that period was
over, I had to decide, whether to renew my subscription or not. Of course,
shortly after that, a new version was introduced. So I renewed. I did that till
this very month, every year again. The program became better and better, got
feutures I never used, older bugs disappeared, new bugs came, several old bugs
remained.
I had to save money now, so I decided not to renew again and moved to the Open
source FTP-Server FileZilla. It has the same functionality, it misses some
luxury which I don't need at all.

This is just one of many similar examples, the worst might be Microsoft itself
with those many new operation systems over the last ten years. You pay a lot of
money for an extremely buggy OS and you pay again for a next new OS  with a bit
new functionality but with lots of old and new bugs. And that begging and 
praying
for Servicepacks is going around the world every time.
Linux isn't an alternative for me, it needs too many commandline shit for the
things I need. So I'm tied to M$.

My problem with The Bat! there isn't an Open Source alternative yet, which 
has
TB's functionality. IMO it's the best emailclient available at the moment,
nevertheless how  many bugs and wishes there might be (and there are).
Zimbra, Eudora and Mulberry as open source emailclients aren't at the level yet
I wish and need.
I feel tied to TD at the moent, so I renewed my subscription for 4.1.
Maybe next time not anymore. It depends..

I did tell very often that they should maybe not make Graphical

Moin, Sebastian!

 4. 0.x is not supported anymore too.

 do not understand, what You mean by not supported, latest
 bugfix for 4.0.x was released three weeks ago.

 Yes. But there will be no butfixes further.

 Are there any known *showstoppers* for that release cycle? I really
 cannot remember one …

 Maybe:

I think you got me wrong: All the bugs listed below (except the two
UTF-7 bugs in IMAP and two minor bugs) *are* fixed in the 4.0.x
release cycle, i.e. with a 4.0.39.39 all these bugs are fixed and you
do not need to pay for a new license key. I wanted to know, if there
are any old *not* fixed showstopper bugs, that make The Bat!
4.0.39.39 *unusable*?

Okay, you may say that you do not want to work with a Beta, so you do
not have all these fixes with the latest release of 4.0.x, which is
the 4.0.38. But I really cannot say that this version is absolutely
unusable.

No offense meant! :-)

 [-] (#0003362) The password of an account-group cannot be removed

== Fixed in 4.0.39.29

 [-] another serious UTF-7 encoding bug in IMAP folder names which
 might cause IMAP unusable under Windows configured for
 multibyte-character as a default language (e.g. Chinese)

== Fixed in 4.1.1.3: Okay this one is not fixed in the 4.0.x release
cycle, but this is maybe a showstopper only for Asian IMAP users
of The Bat!

 [-] (#0007358) Newly created Folders could lost their data when they
 were moved outside parent folders and then renamed

== Fixed in 4.0.39.31

 [-] NTLM authentication didn't work

== Fixed in 4.0.39.29

 [-] Fixed a serious bug with state-dependent encodings like UTF-7 -
 last character could have been lost.

== Fixed in 4.0.39.35

 [-] Fixed an AV when importing a corrupt address book

== Fixed in 4.0.39.34

 [-] The Bat! failed to generate an RSA key pair with eToken Pro 4.20B

== Fixed in 4.0.39.38

 [-] (#0006994) Registry entries are not removed completely during uninstall

== Fixed in 4.0.39.39

 [-] bug in ImapUTF7Encode

== Fixed in 4.1.1.1: Okay this one is not fixed in the 4.0.x release
cycle, but this is maybe a showstopper only for Asian IMAP users
of The Bat! (see above)

 [-] (#0007297) Folder commands were not properly updated when the
 active folder changed while the main window was hidden

== Fixed in 4.0.39.38

 [-] (#0007372) Error List index out of bounds (20) when doing
 drag-and-drop with message list tabs created by Quick Search

== Fixed in 4.0.39.38

 [-] (#0007307) Windows/HTML editor doesn't support Insert/Overwrite,
 but the corresponding status bar element wasn't hidden.

== Fixed in 4.0.39.38

 [-] (#0005868) Remind Later Textual Error

== Fixed in 4.0.39.38

 [-] (#0007390) Memo box is in Address Book Group has fixed size even dialog

Hello TheBat Beta List Members!!!

Someday, and that was in Tuesday morning, Volker wrote something like this:

I not say that TB v4 even in Beta cycle is unusable. I only write that there
is  couple  of  bugs that are not fixed in FINAL version and in v4.0.x FINAL
will be not fixed. RITs policy is ~ number UP, support DOWN ... In this case
this is my opinion of course.

 NO WAY!

 Of course not. Since the TheBat developement desaster has been
 established (and this tragedy has been going on for years, let noone
 say there were no warnings) I've been transitioning the clients I
 service away from TheBat, some towards free alternatives like
 ThunderBird, some to Outlook,

Pegasus Mail has a very nice, FREE, 4.51 version.

http://community.pmail.com/files/folders/11243/download.aspx

As a registered user of The Bat! I read all the discussions here about
pay or not pay for a new update,
remember: Pegasus is free!

I can also advise you to look at other paid programs, like: Clyton,
http://gammadyne.com/eclient.htm
or Pocomail, http://www.pocosystems.com/home/index.php?option=content;
task=viewid=5Itemid=25

So, there is more then The Bat!-))

Hans


 some to payed products. I'm the only one
 still using it around here, and that will cease too as soon as I've
 grown accustomed to the new surroundings in other programs. In the
 meantime there surely won't be a cent coming out of my own or, for
 that matter, my clients' pocket going even in the general direction
of
 RIT.

Ehm... I still carry several very usefull newsgroups.

 BTW newsgroups can be integrated to The Bat! bia external utility.

I had to throw that away, it didn't work under Vista. So Forté Agent 4.1 is
active here for the News.

As for other mailclients.. from the time TB couldn't handle well HTML, I've
still Incredimail blush. It's inactive since TB has a rather good
functioning HTML, but it had given me for that time the opportunity to read my

...which both could be implemented via plugins.

I read and post usenet news using The Bat (though I am also user of Forte
Agent and beta tester of it)

I could live without RSS and truth to be told I don't get what RSS has to do
with a mail client.

SmartBat and Scheduler (and of course IMAP) should be developed more. SmartBat
is quite handy but it could be much much better for keeping notes (for example
note tree, categories etc). Scheduler could be also be much much better, in
fact I would rather like the bat to replace outlook completely.

Poco's Barca is on the right track but Barca is based on Pocomail and Pocomail
is inferior.

I would love Ritlabs to make a product like Barca... (Not necessary The Bat,
it could be another program like The Bat Business edition...)

Well, why did they not do that before?

IMAP has been broken for years and I have upgraded twice on the promise
of better IMAP.

These promises have never been made good.

There are still basic errors in IMAP and I am not paying for another
version until these are fixed.

I have lost my faith with RitLabs' ability to deliver on their

Grow up! You are on a beta list. That means you are beta TESTING. That
means bugs are to be EXPECTED.

They have been VERY UPFRONT about the way the licensing was going to
work.

Either accept it and realize they are doing what they said they would
do (and gave you a lot more while coming to this point!) Or go back a
version, quit the beta list and wait until 4.1 is officially released

very open about the upgrade policy for a long time

And the product is still buggy? Uh ... YEAH! this is a beta list. 2

You  are  right.  But I think he was referring to that nothing changed
in  those  4 years. Version 3.x and 4.x differs only in bug fixed
and  some  changed glyphs. He can't use 3.x anymore because it's still
buggy and not supported. At the same time he don't want to pay for bug
fixes that were supposed to be fixed before the next major release.

At this present time, however, any one of us, under enough pressure,
can think, behave and speak impulsively and thoughtlessly - and even 
savagely.  Look at how otherwise decent soldiers have behaved in

I never said I approved of Christian's expressing himself in that
fashion. But I think a less parent-like response (using those loaded
terms, Grow up!,) on your part would IMHO have been more
constructive and therefore better. I.e., Christian is responsible for
trying to do his best, and so are you and I. The real question for you
is, Did my response to Christian help him to attain more self- and
other-respect? That recognizes that you cannot truly judge Christian 
but only wish him to act in a more respectful fashion to RitLabs.

This is an unfair discussion - I am not bilingual and you are!

2008-12-15 Thread MAU
Hello Vilius,

 But I think he was referring to that nothing changed in those 4 years.

That's not true. Splash screen has changed a few times. ;-)

 He can't use 3.x anymore because it's still buggy and not supported.

Hello Christian,

 One can 'ventilate' disagreement (even strong disagreement) and 
 frustration with a little more respect for people working very very hard
 to earn an honest living. Don't you think so?


 Of course you can, but you can also show respect to paying customers.

Please see my mid:1507285950.20081215214...@rancho-k.com in response

I do not know why he can't use 3.x, but he has 4.0.x free. He can't use
4.0.x but used until today? Strange

Well,   legally   RitLabs  maybe right. But in any business you should
pay  respect  to  clients,  e.g.  supporting  old  version  and fixing
critical  bugs  at  least  for  some  time after next major version is
released. Or change major version number only when your program really
have changed much and not confuse the clients tricking into next buy.

I could accept this only if previous upgrade fee was year before, not 4
years before. I do see respect to clients if they updated program for such
long time without any fee.

Moin, Vilius!

 4.0.x is not supported anymore too.

 do not understand, what You mean by not supported, latest bugfix
 for 4.0.x was released three weeks ago.

 Yes. But there will be no butfixes further.

Are there any known *showstoppers* for that release cycle? I really
cannot remember one …

I am not talking about pet peeves, but about bugs that make The Bat!
unusable …
