Though not user interfaces. Try using it for any length of time, you
will find it isn't as easy as the bat, with complex dialog boxes
appearing all over the place. Also, I hate those small windows
(kinda like pmail) that pop up all over the place.

I think that tb could involve imap support, but with eather online and
offline mode. In offline mode, its just glorified pop3, but where
message storage etc is an issue, you could use it in online mode,
whereby messages can be manipulated throughout tb folders.
One issue you could come up against though is where you have
imap engines on the server processing rules to put certain
messages into certain folders, it would be nice to specify different
folders to look up in the bat.

I will be posting a full list of problems we found with tb shortly.
