Since this was in the 4.0/4.1-beta times, this indeed sounds like a statement that Ritlabs is going to improve IMAP support somewhere in 4.1 series (not later). The problem is it doesn't say WHAT exactly is going to be fixed (like whether it's only going to be minor bugs with message counters, or more major ones with message list not refreshing, or compatibility improvements with specific servers or implementing "new" IMAP features like keywords or something really revolutionary that would make TB! the greatest IMAP client ever). In short: we have no idea what's going to happen. More specifically, we also don't know *if* something (other than minor improvements that we already had in the past) will happen. Also, some people will treat this "commitment" from Ritlabs' side with caution; given how IMAP was treated in the past, I'll be one of them. This means that I am not paying for a new version, until it actually gets significantly improved and some people confirm it. > for now, additional changes in the program's core are in progress, there > should be news soon, but Ritlabs must answer to this, I do not know what > all changes must be done to introduce it. Yeah, that'd be great if Ritlabs announced the real scope of work going on. I fear they won't, however, since it's easier for them not to make any kind of commitments. -- Best regards, Robert Tomanek mailto:[email protected] ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.1.11.6 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
