And it took them this much versions to figure it out?

They  have loads of bugs. For instance, Exchange support is completely
crapped.  It won't SAVE the account password to receive mail (you have
to  enter  it  manually)  except  that  some  times it doesn't release
whatever  it  need  to  connect  (MAPI?)  and  even Outlook will start
without  requesting  for  the  password.  When  this happens, pressing
ALT+F2  without  releasing  will lead to an Access Violation (I have a
screenshot in my laptop).

BCC users miss every mail when TO, CC and BCC are used all together - don't
know if this is affecting POP and IMAP accounts.

Support for HTML mails could be better.
When  Outlook users paste images into the emails, TheBat isn't capable
of showing or decode it (I've bugtracked this).

This also happens with attachments overall (.TXT's for instance)...
The list is VERY long...

We need bugfixes, that's what we need.
