This is something that concerns me, as over that past few years, I've implemented more "complicated/convoluted" filter rules than I can count or even remember. All I know is that they're working! :-) I had to dig into my filters and make some adjustments when I moved from v1 to v2, and I'm wondering if I'll have to do the same if I now move on to v3? > I myself am waiting to see "what will happen" before I decide to buy > a copy of a v3 using *my* name.

I also don't use IMAP, the HTML editor, Rich Text Viewer, or "smileys", so I'm mainly concerned with keeping my email management as stable and trouble free as possible. So far, v2.12.00 has worked brilliantly for me, and I'm just a bit wary of moving on to the next major version "just because it's there". I will at least try to learn more about the new filtering system before I make up my mind. Being a bit more conservative these days about using "bleeding edge" software, and since TB! development seems to move at a pretty fast pace in certain areas, I guess I'll continue to monitor v3.x from a distance to see if anyone encounters any real "show stopper" problems, or can demonstrate any real advantages that I just couldn't live without. I'm all for supporting TB! development by upgrading, and I'm sure that someday I will again upgrade, but I'm just so happy with how my 2.x version is working for me now that I'm a little reluctant to mess with it. :-) My mother is still using v1.62r, and when v2 was released (and also v3), I told her about it, but she's even more afraid than I am to try something "new and improved"; especially while she's still coming to grips with v1! (which, if you know how my mother gets along with computers in general, is pretty impressive already!). :-) -- Melissa PGP public keys: http://www.kuviahunnihautik.tk/ TB! v2.12.00 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2
