The Bat has a great interface and many advanced features (some of which I possibly will never have the need or desire to use). This is why I have bought a license and two upgrades in 2 1/2 years (July, 2006; 21 Nov 2007; and yesterday). At the same time, I think Opera, Thunderbird and even the new Yahoo! Zimbra have more efficient, reliable and easier to set up (!!) IMAP implementations. I should add that I use Gmail's IMAP system (having used its POP system for years before). I greatly respect the RitLab team, and believe that in time, TB's IMAP implementation will match those others. In some ways, TB's IMAP implementation reminds me of that of Mulberry - many, many settings but too complicated for mere tech mortals. BTW, TB is still my primary mail client, but when I repeatedly get the warnings of "cannot retrieve message body because of processing error," I start up Thunderbird to read the message. Eventually, it will show up correctly in TB but that might be 10 minute or more away and involve restarting TB. I cannot speak about other IMAP systems, generally. I do have a very seldom used fastmail.fm account for use with an organization, and they give detailed setup instructions for many of the clients. Their IMAP system seems excellent. -- Take Care, Bob -- Using The Bat! 4.1.1.4 RC1 (BETA) Windows XP 5.1 build 2600 Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.1.1.5 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
