Very well said. However with the following lines it seems that we are moving
to a dangerous ground:

Don't get me wrong but the above looks suspiciously like blackmail. And *this*
will certainly NOT help The Bat!. Of course it's your opinion and well in your
rights to publish however this is *YOUR* blog. Unless you allow RITLABS a
formal answer it seems more than revenge/blackmail because The Bat! doesn't
work the way that you want it and you are bashing it because of that.

In my previous mail I wrote that I found your points valid but there are also
counter points that are also valid! From The Bat's! behalf, the mail is
RECEIVED as long as it got into its database. Technically this is correct.

Personally I'm with you on this one. No matter how you put it, Imported
e-mails *ARE NOT* received e-mails. I define "received" e-mails to be the
e-mails I downloaded from server and NOT the e-mails I import from another
storage. Obviously The Bat Devs have another definition.

The real world analogue is very simple. Consider that I kept my mails (the
real mails) in a box. One day I bought another box, bigger and more shiny. So
I move the mails from the old box to the new box. But the mails are already
there, they are *NOT* received again! The postman didn't live them to my PO
Box! I merely changed the physical location where I put them!

But as I wrote to my previous e-mail, this is a matter of taste.
