If I use googlemail.com, I see an error message in TheBat's protocol which appears to come from avast (if I read it correctly): 09-Apr-20, 18:37:07: FETCH - receiving mail messages 09-Apr-20, 18:37:07: FETCH - Connecting to POP3 server pop.googlemail.com on port 995 09-Apr-20, 18:37:07: FETCH - Initiating TLS handshake >09-Apr-20, 18:37:07: FETCH - Certificate S/N: >50D0051BC4485D4E8AA50D42F12A832B, algorithm: 1.2.840.10045.2.1 (256 bits), >issued from 24-Mar-20 06:48:05 to 16-Jun-20 06:48:05, for 1 host(s): >pop.googlemail.com. >09-Apr-20, 18:37:07: FETCH - Owner: US, California, Mountain View, Google LLC, >pop.googlemail.com. >09-Apr-20, 18:37:07: FETCH - Issuer: generated by avast! antivirus for SSL/TLS >scanning, avast!

Column width / UI bugs
Hello, I am fighting the battle with the quirks of TheBat! interface and it seems like I am not exactly winning here. The interface is not adaptive and riddled with tiny annoying glitches that get on your nerves daily. I am aware of the "switch to summary view" option, that is not it. If I have to summarise, the most annoying ones are: [1] Lack of "automatic" width scaling. Ever used Total Commander? Does not matter what windows size is, there are no ugly gaps on the sides. If window is resized, TC would automatically adjust width of the "Name" column while leaving Date/Extension/Size the same. If window is resized back to its initial scale - TC returns to precisely the same layout without user's intervention. Logical? Yes, very much so. What TheBat offers instead? You have guessed it right, horizontal scroller... [2] Column width is constantly changing when switching between folders that share the same "View Mode". I have no logical explanation here. Have tried to delete all custom views and set two folders to the "No View Mode" setting - still the same, width of columns changes seemingly at random. [3] Daily "access violation" errors. Most of them refer to thebat64.exe attempting to utilize non-existing object (reading FF/00). Logs and screenshots submitted to Mantis. While I do not want to complain, this situation leaves me questioning own life choices. I have paid for a commercial software in hope it will offer certain advantages over an open-source and free-as-in-beer MUA* I have been using previously. To the day, it has been a fight with non-operational GPG (v8 builds), appalling testing of releases (or lack thereof) and above-mentioned interface nuisances. * Claws Mail. -- Cheers, A Current version is 8.0.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
