The complaint I was trying to address was the apparent faulting of Maxim's beta announcements as he works on his part of the fixes for the 3.5 release. I was keeping in mind a statement that 9Val made once that the various parts of The Bat! can be worked on simultaneously--in other words, that Maxim's work and the last series of beta releases don't mean that work on IMAP isn't also proceeding. Stefan's statements that it is on-going were made on this list, over the past weeks, and not on RitLabs website advertising pages. > I feel for Ritlabs, they are trying hard and their learning curve has > been steep in this area but I'm not optimistic that they'll be able to > sort out all the issues before the beginning of the monsoon season > here in the UK (last weekend in August - the next bank holiday). Well, and I feel for Tony, too (who is standing in for me as the symbol for all users of IMAP who also love TB!). But the difficulties--which were once clearly laid out on another thread--in integrating IMAP into an existing POP3 client were quite clearly more than the TB! development team had anticipated encountering. To use a figure of speech of my own: Quarreling with the cook who's in process of preparing the meal isn't likely to improve the quality of what that cook will serve to you. > Steak and lime pie, eh! On a diet, Mary? Hehehe. And a pretty good diet, huh? < ;) smiling wink> My dinner companions were well behaved and chose the fish. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.5.25 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.25 | '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/
