OK, no skins :-) I don't care, actually, as long as they are optional - but when something fundamental isn't working, that is annoying, and I'm really hoping that I can find fixes for this IMAP stuff, because I'm kind of afraid it's eating my mail. It looks like I'm going to have to decide either to go back to v2X, or register v3 and hope the next release fixes the issues and isn't too far down the road.

Hello Robin, On Thu, 2 Sep 2004 you wrote in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] RA Smileys I RA don't want, pretty pictures in the header area?? Then right click in the message and unselect them. Smilies are everywhere and in all forms of messaging, it's just that TB! has the capability to convert them to pretty pictures - your choice whether you see them or not. The same with the senders pictures (or yours for that matter as it's showing here so you can't be too averse to it and you must have uploaded it to the rogues gallery). Right click in the header and uncheck header photo. This way TB! caters for everyone without wasting any bandwidth in sending as the photos and smiley icons are taken from your PC when you downloaded them. I have editied my smiley list because, like you, I find a lot of them a waste of time but I do like the common ones in picture form. Each to their own and TB! gives everyone the chance to customise to their taste. I reckon that's a plus but, due to the fractious nature of many at this present time, I'll probably be shot down in flames ;-) -- Regards, Richard | Using The Bat! 3.0.0.7 SpamPal | Windows XP (build 2600), version 5.1 Service Pack 1 pgpp1rA4cg2En.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

As this is kind of off-topic, I hope you don't mind me emailing you directly .. Do you know if Foxmail handles IMAP?

And of course, I'm not happy about this so-called upgrade, either, which sounds like it doesn't address old problems, among them the IMAP handling.

As long as it can be done without turning the package into slow bloatware :-) If I can figure out how to deal with the warts in 2.12, I'll keep that at least, unless I can find something that does excellent IMAP, but so far ... I'm beginning to think it's IMAP itself. I wasn't impressed with TBird or Mulberry; I gather those are pretty highly thought of ..
