Using it for over a year on POP3 bases and originally I wanted to have a fast e-mail access solution so I set it up to not remove e-mails, store them so I can access them fast later on if needed on the factory floor. Mobile: SonyEricsson Xperia Arc (single core) Noticed while using: - at the beginning it was fast but with time got really slow (main folder refresh time, button press time response or opening e-mail was taking sometimes up to 20-40s), - due to above I limited messages to one month and within that one month time I do mark important ones with STAR and manually remove rest about every 3-4 weeks. That improved performance significantly - assumption here would be that K9 is unfortunately refreshing all messages list and if there is lots of messages it gets slow in response, - check e-mail is set to every 5 minutes (I'm 80% of time on 3G) and for some reasons it was always about 5-10minutes late comparing to BlackBerry (had opportunity to watch its performance for couple of month while I was on the factory floor with a guy using BlackBerry ; he was always faster with e-mails send to both of us :( ) - about 6 month ago they implemented feature to save e-mail database on SD card and it solved a problem of eating up precious internal memory, - works properly with displaying all e-mails (not a single one was displayed improperly), - Chinese (both Traditional and Simplified) and Polish are properly displayed even if languages are mixed (in TB! mixture of Simplified and Traditional Chinese makes messages unreadable ; Replying to a message where Traditional Characters are included makes Traditional Characters changed to a unreadable garbage), - tried other clients at the time I was making decision which one to use and that one was the best for me.

TB for Android?
Hello TBBETA Members! As I see Voyager still being alive and kicking, wouldn't an Android*-version - most probably with some kind of cloud-connection [to sync automatically with PC] - be a good idea? Probably better than a USB-stick variant? *Yeah right, iOS ... as if iOS-users would be able to work TB ... -- Dierk Haasis [DH² Publishing] The Bat 5.1.6.4 on Windows 7 6.1 7601 Service Pack 1 Chat info upon request On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament],'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'

Re: TB for Android?
Dear Aam, --- a...@avenarius.sk / Friday Fri 22. Jun 2012, 09:36 PM TB for Android? *Yeah right, iOS ... as if iOS-users would be able to work TB ... You just got me ;) Now I must answer to your remarks. ... Oh, when I say happy, that doesn't really fully apply to TB anymore... I am using TB! since about 1998 and never felt to be left struggling. When I moved to TB!beta it was obvious that there will be glitches. But nothing wild so far. I hear Version 5 is so atrocious I haven't found the courage to upgrade so far. That is why you find it atrocious because you never upgraded. Of course, iOS's email app is a joke in terms of ultra-minimal functionality, but at least they got IMAP right, Sorry, I am using four IMAP accounts with success. Can you make more accurate statements of what TB! is missing? That sure would help. and I've been using iOS's Mail instead of TB for most short messages throughout the workday, because TB can be such a pain in the behind to use oftentimes. :-/ I nowadays mostly only use TB in the evenings to clean up my Inbox after a day of work, and to deal with longer messages that need to be typed. Good for you. It seems you have not gotten it right. I am maintaining several accounts and use solely TB! on them. So I don't see you problem. That being said, I'd welcome TB for iOS, but not if it's such a disaster as Version 5. I bought iOS's alternative email client, Sparrow, but it's a disaster, too, next to unusable. Sometimes simple is better, and Apple are masters in implementing that mantra into practice. If you are not happy with TB! under Windows you sure will not like it under iOS. Suggestion: Try to use TB! in private and business, POP and IMAP and play a bit more serious. Maybe you can find the Love for it.
