There were no sub-filters in 2.x, and I have some filters using RegEx, and they converted perfectly.

NOT the .srx files--that's a very important caution. NO! You got it wrong. *If* there are any .srx files (which a non-beta-tester won't have), those are the ones to delete. The .srb files are the filters in v2.x. If you delete them, they are gone. If in doubt, just rename, don't delete. ;-) MB> Once 3.0.1 is installed, new filters created will--always of course MB> with the caveat YMMV--work correctly. Filters are critical for me. If they hadn't been converted correctly, I would have reverted to my backed-up 2.x. It was not necessary, and the glitches at the first beta versions seem to have been fixed throughout. I think it is important that filters are converted correctly, so I tested it especially, and there are _no_ problems on my system. :-) MB> Save your v. 2.12.00 zip so that you can roll back. Also save your registry key. You won't be able to roll back otherwise. @Mods: Even this thread has turned to be about the current beta series, I found it important to voice my confidence in the upcoming release. Let me add that like Mary, I don't use IMAP or any plugins (except for MyGate), so I can't comment on that. -- Cheers, Thomas.
