M No, because if I do I will _not_ be using my normal working environment M as I never leave messages on server. M Anyway, don't worry about me. There have been times in the past, and may M be in the future, that I do not engage in beta testing. But when I do, M _I_ decide to do so and _I_ decide to take the risk. Also, if normally M just do a daily backup, while I am beta testing I may easily set my M Second Copy 2000 to backup TB several times a day. The trick (for me at least) has been to start off conservatively and then as things look as though they are working well, begin to move more of the normal activity over to the beta until it is the main instance (assuming it works well enough for that wink). So on an initial install I will leave copies on the server so that if things crash badly I can still recover my email. When things have worked well for a while I will start adding plugins, filters, macros (actually I don't have many of those) and such and finally ... iff all of the above work well, I will stop using the old install and start clearing the server from the beta. It is more work, I have not lost any data doing things this way. -- Best regards, MikeDmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.0.2.1 on Windows ME 4.90 Build 3000 Current beta is 3.0.2.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Well, I can only wish you good luck then. -- Best regards, Arjanmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current beta is 3.0.2.4 Rush | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Hello Allie, Thursday, October 28, 2004, 6:07:45 AM, you wrote: You're using the backup utility to create backups that you restore from? This was a backup that I had about 2 weeks ago. I've never done a complete uninstall of TB! since using it in 1999. I've usually just switched executables. If I have a problem with the new one, I replace it with the one I was using before. The beta download consists of just the program executable. I rename the one I was using and then place the beta in the installation directory. I then try it. If I'm not happy, I just delete it and rename the old executable back to the right name. I do the same, however this time when I went back to beta 19 everything went hawwire. -- Best regards, Timmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current beta is 3.0.2.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

You are absolutely right they don't unless the company releases a beta product as an official release, as we have recently experienced. -- Best regards, Timmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current beta is 3.0.2.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
