You can not be serious, because Thunderbird is based on code from Mozilla Suite, so Thunderbird had IMAP support from start, but code was 6 years old! I do not know, how hard is to increase stability and interoperability with IMAP servers, which have often problems with IMAP implementation, but agree, this is important and I hope, Ritlabs will be successful. Ritlabs develops own mailserver Batpost and I expect, this knowledge can help to get better IMAP in The Bat! > There are no outside factors preventing RIT from fixing TheBat's IMAP. > It is pure choice on their side.

I do not think, Ritlabs could ever focus to corporate users, because corporate area needs groupware features and I do not expect, TB will be ever groupware product. >From I know from companies, they are requesting calendar support, but not IMAP. This is my experience. What do You think about HTML templates? this is most requested feature here by small companies using OE and Outlook. -- Bye Marek Mikus Czech support of The Bat! http://www.thebat.cz Using the best The Bat! 4.1.14.2 (RC2) under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 with MyMacros,XMP,AnotherMacros, AntispamSniper v 3.2.0.6 Notebook Toshiba, Core2 Duo 1.83 GHz, 4 GB RAM ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.1.14.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
