I have been silent, and I have NOT downloaded betas for a long time, but I feel the need to give you my 2 cents about this: I believe you when you say that you want to make the IMAP support perfect, but you (Ritlabs) are (is) sending the wrong message here by switching from a 2.xx beta to 3.0 beta in the middle of this process and by adding the new registration scheme. Some of us have been waiting for a full working IMAP version for a long time. Remember: it was promised for 2.0 (including Newsgroup support as well, if I remember correctly). Now you want to move to 3.0 and still haven't finished it, and there is also no timeframe. But in the meantime you have added tons of other things (like NFS, Virtual Folders, Chat folders, Rogues etc). Nice to have, but some of us were waiting for something different. Also some of the older bugs have still not been solved. I remember a message here from 9Val a couple of months ago in this list in which he said that it was 'no fun to just fix bugs'. I understand that perfectly well, I am a software developer myself, and I like to do new stuff as well. But I have also learned that you need to listen very carefully to your loyal clients, because they are the ones that can make or break your product. Please reconsider the change to 3.0 and the new licensing scheme (assuming that you want people to pay for their upgrades). Finish the IMAP stuff first and fix the more serious bugs before you start adding new stuff. As far as I am concerned you can forget the newsreader stuff. I have other ways to get these messages in tb, but maybe others disagree with me on this? -- Robert van der Hulst [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! 2.12.00 on Windows XP.5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 2.13 Beta/8 | '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/
