Hello Mary,
MB>>> I think if you were there, you would soon have the attention of MB>>> 9Val or Stefan. you're absolute right :) but when even Alexander has no clue what the source of such a behaviour can be, then maybe its really something which no one knows and I have to bear with :) AA>> Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately i already posted the AA>> question here, and cross posting is not nice MB> I think in this one instance, cross-posting would be forgiven, because MB> you are praising v. 3.x so, when others took a very disparaging MB> attitude. To be honest when the 3.0 came out i was also very disappointed with ritlabs and even more with the Bat itself, because this official 3.0 was in fact a buggy beta for me and had error over errors, so that it crashes really so often that it was a shame. So that i decided to switch to Thunderbird. But after giving the bat another change and trying the 3.0.1. RC1, I changed my mind because this release was more stable, in fact the most stable since very long time and for me was that the reason for buy the V3. Since then the releases getting better and better and now i look forward what comes out of the bat cave. 1 Year ago if someone ask me what to use for a mail program, the answer would always be 'the bat'. But since 6 Month it was getting really buggy and I can understand the people which are a little irritated of the changing from V2 to V3 when the last V2 are so unstable. But now i think that ritlabs is on a good way and hope that they keep up the good work and encourage all user of V2 to switch. -Not because of the new features, but because its more stable (at least for me). But if someone ask me now which email client to use for business/home, i think i will wait a little, before I continue to suggest the bat, just in case that it get again a little buggy and unstable.- But that surely never happens :) MB> You won my heart immediately with that. I hope that everyone on this list still loves the bat, even when they are a bit angry and maybe time will heal they're wounds and one after another begin to open the heart to V3 ;) MB> I am a completely non-technical person--everything I know about MB> computers that is useful, I have learned on TB! lists. Then you have learned a lot :) Maybe her is the best place to learn good things about how to use a computer. I know people which i not even would suggest a program such powerful as the bat, just because they have no interest in learning new things. And as long as you have a wonder for new things, your surely will learn fast :) MB> I first ran The MB> Bat! on Win95, on a 2.99 GB HD, with 32 MB of RAM. Hey, in that case you started earlyer than I with the bat ;) After my old Amiga 4000/40 with 25 Mhz. was really a little outnumbered by pc i bought my first pc with a 6GB HD, Win98 and 128MB ram and after some time i found out how great the bat was :) The funny thing is that i was unsure if i should buy a pc or mac and in the end the reason for buy a pc, was the game half-life ;) MB> Even now, I would not try to deal with partitioning. :( That can be a really pain :) I heard from people which are really skilled and the are not able to install a linux partition :) But i think today you only have to try it! And with the right tools you can make it whiteout to much troubles. Even the modern linux installation should be safe and run on most system whiteout screw up something - But as always in life there's a little risk in it :) - you remember the subject of my post. But when you are so interest in learning new things, then you surely make the new partition whiteout an error or problem and not screw it up, like myself when i was trying to to it for the first time and killed all the data on it :) - and even in case that this happens nowadays are so good tools available which makes restoring of data easy. - But I'm sure you don't need it ;) MB> The thing is, that a lot of the best people--Alexander S. Kunz's peers MB> and better, the Bat's programmers themselves--are right now reading MB> only tbbeta, so far as I can tell. MB> The list is somewhat slow right now. Go ahead and cross-post. Tell MB> them Trill sent you. :) Maybe it was just luck, or i have an guardian angel but it seems that the cross post is not longer necessary ;) MB> It's a problem with getting 3.x properly installed. I don't think it's MB> off-topic too far for the beta list. Start out with your praise of MB> 3.0. It was music to my ears. Hey V3.0.1 is really good! That will everyone see, which open his eyes ;) But for my bug with the V3 - maybe this bug occurs when i had the 1.x version and something write something which it should not. And if so then i think its not a real subjects for the beta list, because not much people uses they're mail folders that long and I and I'm sure on the beta list the have better things to fix :) -But thanks again for the suggestion, next time i will remember it ;) Have a great time adrian ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
