When I joined my current company, I was set up with Eudora Light,
which is their standard email client. I tried it, but asked permission
to use TB on my computer instead. The IT manager at the time had
already heard about TB and said he had no objections - but I couldn't
expect any support from his department in case of problems. I just
smiled, because I know the TB lists exist.

I consider these lists an integral part of TB, together with the Wiki
which is getting better and better. Ritlabs is a real company with an
office and full-time employees (to answer Stuart Moore's question)
but what they lack in the department of tech support is more than made
up by these lists.

There were issues with TB in the past wich led me to not recommend it
for businesses, but all of those (maybe with the exception of IMAP, am
don't use that) have been solved. I would have no reservations
recommending v3 in the current state.

See above. Maybe the official Ritlabs support is "pointless", but
seeking support on these lists isn't.
