I got trapped as well. Downloaded TBHome, backed up all Mail and TB
files, and fired up the setup. Still couldn't see anything worth the new
price.

But, sometimes I figure some things slowly. Will try again, when I find
a time. And a patience for popups slapping.

But we are (all I guess) accustomed to, already. (-: You know, is not
all in appearance. There is something "in soul" too. So, it isn't a
shock anymore.

I do that all the time. Still no a big joy. Did you try ever FoxMail? As
to simultaneous dealing with multiple accounts (which is main reason I
use TB), it's even faster than TB, and is free. But some other things
are not so good.

TB 9/1. I have said something similar when 1.6xxxx... was released.
Might be easily, probably, I am wrong, but from those days on is more
and more dissatisfaction around. On the other side, I still use TB (-;
and many other people I know who share my reactions, and opinions. There
is even a third side, of people attracted by a new "politics" of
RITlabs.

It's marketing. Pretty disorganized and confused sometimes, though, but
it modified the original conception and that's it. It happens all the
time.

On the fourth side, I know groups of people who abandoned TB, because of
(actually non-existing) HTML editor, which dwells in the body of TB as
some carious and useless tissue, just wasting resources, and it lasts
and lasts.

I'd like if I am able to somehow surgically remove it, and some other
"features", but am not a programmer. Nor a "hacker". (-; If you have
such "features" in a version which comes with a better tiny detail, as
is newer LOG (which is valuable for my spam "politics") then you have to
accept all MBs of other tissues.

I think is much better, for many things here, if some new features have
to be included, that all the work -- until it's finished! -- has to be
excluded from official versions, and, if beta test(ers) are seriously
needed, that this beta branch is kept *completely* separated of the
"product", and a wider public. Doing it otherwise, can produce only what
it produces - a total mess. (-: And angry people. Very angry. (: "Homer
angryyy! Homer destroooy".

That's the way it is. (:

Cheers. Until the next juke-box... (-;

Mail me tendeeer, mail me sweeet... :eyes:
