I'm now using 5.0.18, so a version several updates after 5.0, and there are still so many bugs that I wouldn't recommend updating to anyone who can live with v4 / got used to the bugs there and doesn't want to risk new ones. The main problems I see, which is why I don't recommend updating: - Problems during the update process (if you're lucky your IMAP folder settings is the only thing you lose) - IMAP outbox still not working, risk of message loss (different bugs, but same result as in v4) - IMAP periodical check and counters not working correctly (showstopper for me) I complained a lot about IMAP in v4, and still think it's rediculous that v4 was released with all those bugs. But at least I know the behaviour in and out now. With v5 the bottom line is that it didn't get better, but you'll have to adjust to new bugs and new odd behaviour. I don't see the benefit. -- Best regards, Carsten ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
