Hello, Tbbeta.
The new version will be version 5.0. The registration system will be changed. We didn’t yet completely figured out the final changes to the registration system, but the preliminary changes are the following: registration will allow using The Bat! for a particular period of time. It will not be bound to version numbers as before.
That sounds very good, as far as I understand it. Thank you!
As about the IMAP in these alpha versions, there will be the following limitation for IMAP so far: 1. Outbox and Sent folders will be local; 2. There will be no options configurable except the number of simultaneous connections. We recommend you to use about five connections if your server allows this.
That also sounds very good so far. I just checked in Thunderbird, under advanced options (under account settings for my IMAP account with Gmail). It has a default setting of 5 for "Maximum number of server connections to cache." But one can change the number. Let me check what options are available at Gmail.... I also note that in Gmail's setup instructions for Thunderbird 3 (Gmail lists e-mail account setting instructions for several different e-mail programs), it states:
Thunderbird will query the Gmail server and automatically configure the appropriate IMAP connection settings for your account. When complete, Thunderbird will show you a confirmation dialog similar to this one..
.. and then it shows a screenshot of what appears next in Thunderbird. I'll send the screenshot as an attachment if you wish. Please let me know. I hope the above helps a little bit in your work. -- Take Care, Bob -- "Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me."
