IMAP should be the first fix they should to add. It seems they lost a lot of customers due to IMAP bugs. I said some years ago, Ritlabs should add some enterprise things to try to wide it's client base. I said Rit should try to add more Exchange compatibility, calendar with meetings mails and others. Years ago the The Bat! flagship was the security comparing it with Outlook. Today the outlook security it's a bit better than before. The filters and others are algo better than in old version. So the difference between them it's becoming little a little with the time. The Bat! could survive with the enthusiast you said in your mail, but Rit needs to wide it's customers base, and the enterprise group it's one of the best groups for growing. -- /\ / Using The Bat! 4.1.11.6 Professional / \ / \ / Windows XP (5.1.2600 Service Pack 3) / \/ e t \/ i c i o u s Plugins: AntiSpamSniper 3.2.0.1 and miniRelayPlug 0.05.50 ........................
