It depends on the definition of "beta", and how to use it (as it was already stated here). I remember the days when I tested different email programs. Setting the one I tested to leave mails on the server while at the same time carefully watching to not accidentally use the "productive" other program (that is set to delete mails from the server), and whatnot... personally, I find a parallel installation is just not usable for anything else but "some testing". I for one wouldn't find the time to test in a "real" environment, if I weren't using my normal & everyday installation. Thus, I create backups & I revert to the previous version by exchanging the executable again easily. No harm done. And yes, I've had damaged message bases during the v3.01 beta cycle (but I never knew if it was the beta or something else that wrecked havoc), but it doesn't worry me because I'm using TB only for my private mails. Personally, I wouldn't use beta versions in a productive environment (I had that once with the XPSP2 RC's, and I'm cured, really). -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) using v3.0.1.33 on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 Deliplayer2 is playing: "Obscured by Klaus I." by Pete Namlook, Klaus Schulze & Bill Laswell from the 1998 album 'The Dark Side of the Moog VII' ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.2 | '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/
