TB has awesome functionality. I've been using it in a production environment for about 6 weeks and I'm still figuring out all the functions. Almost anything is possible if one doesn't mind digging through the list archives and seeing what other people have done. The existing documentation leaves a lot to be desired. I'll address the IMAP functionality and leave it to others to expand on a lot of the other things. Needless to say, the template and filter functionality, IMO, is its strong point. The key issues with regards to IMAP are: 1. Draft messages are put in the local "outbox" folder rather than the industry standard IMAP "draft" folder. For those that are used to using IMAP, we have found this to be a significant usability issue. 2. Synchronization of the IMAP folders is much slower than Outlook or Eudora. I am confident that this will be addressed in the near future. 3. There are some bugs in the latest public beta that requires some patience but again, these will be fixed. 4. Not IMAP but if you are expecting Outlook address book capabilities, the TB address book isn't quite there yet but it is getting close. Again, you can look at other peoples experience with the address book. Most of the feature list works as advertised. I think you will be extremely happy with TB if you have some patience and willing to put in the time to learn. Hope this helps. -- Best Regards, Kevin Using The Bat! v2.12 Beta/1 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1
