I'm sorry. :woe:

Most of these have been solved during the series of betas. Most
filters are now working for most people.

That said, we haven't seen a test yet of an upgrade from a v. 2.12.00
to a v. 3.0.1

My filters all converted perfectly from the Old Filter System to the
New Filter System when I overwrote v. 2.12.00 with v. 3.0.

But they were one-step filters to move a "contains" a certain header
from Sender in Incoming Mail to a particular Inbox subfolder.

People with complicated Regular Expressions and sub-filters did not
always experience such a smooth conversion.

I do believe it will still be important before doing an overwriting
installation to delete the .srb files in the directory, The
Bat!/Account. NOT the .srx files--that's a very important caution.

Once 3.0.1 is installed, new filters created will--always of course
with the caveat YMMV--work correctly. There's a small learning curve
in learning to create filters in the New Filter System but I was up
and running on it after only a couple of mistakes.

Some people are still having some troubles with IMAP. But reports on
the tbbeta list are that it is greatly improved. I myself am running
only POP3/SMTP, on two accounts, with two separate servers.

I have no plug-ins. Some people are still having trouble with Bayesit.
But a variation of that, Bayes Filter, is catching a reported 99 per
cent of Spam in most cases, with no side-effect problems at all.

Let's see, can I think of anything else? Hm, that's about the crop.

Save your v. 2.12.00 zip so that you can roll back. Then when v. 3.0.1
full release is announced, get the evaluation copy of it. You'll have
30 days to decide if it's for you.

That's the best advice which I--a stranger to you, but a fellow TB!
user and tbudl subscriber--can give to you at present.

Ah. You are an IMAP user? Why don't you subscribe to tbbeta and have a
look at its recent archives. Allie has been using IMAP with TB! for a
long time and he seems to have it working fairly well now. Others have
had such big problems that they are not willing to see if they are
finally fixed in v. 3.0.1.
