Re: 5.0.22.7 (Virtual folders)
Hello Alto, TF They are (were?) very useful in v4, as they updated automagically. Not here, I'm afraid: In v4 a VF worked correctly exactly once, right after it had been created. If TB was shut down and started again, the VF became empty (0 messages.) It stayed empty, too, regardless of what was selected or refiltered. In v5, a VF is not automatically updated, but as soon as I select the parent folder, it is, and the messages that are filtered into it once stay there for the future. At least, that's how VF behave on my machines. I can't work out exactly when virtual folders are updated. Selecting the VF, the parent folder or the source folder doesn't do it. Pressing refresh in each of those folders doesn't update either. If I read a message in the VF, it is marked as read in the VF and the source folder. If I read the message or mark as read (without reading) in the source folder the VF is not updated. VF's are updated after a restart. This is not immediate and takes up to a minute with a source folder of 9,000 messages. Auto-Refresh and Store State between session don't seem to do anything useful. Such a long-running PITA. :-( -- Best regards, Tonymailto:t...@parkinch.co.uk The Bat! 5.0.22.7 (ALPHA) Current beta is 5.0.22.7 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

If TB was shut down and started again, the VF became empty (0 messages.) It stayed empty, too, regardless of what was selected or refiltered. They work as expected every time here. I must say I reverted from Version 5 back to Version 4.2.44.2 due to dysfunctional VF, or to be more precise: dysfunctional MailTicker window (which is likewise a virtual folder, of course). The state of messages in MailTicket's virtual-folder window just never corresponded to the state of messages in The Bat!'s main window. For example, if I marked a message parked in MailTicker's window, it would only show parked in The Bat!'s main window, while in MailTicker's window it would still show as unparked. Same for read/unread messages, flagged/unflagged messages, etc. So, I returned to Version 4.2.44.2, which has none of these issues. (But which still has the buggy re-directing of HTML messages, so it's not an ideal remedy for me.) I even encountered this bizarre bug in MailTicker in Version 5: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10440809/misc/preciarknute_spravy_v_okne_Mail_Tickera.gif (strike-through lines for deleted messages in the top-priority MailTicker window?!) Plus, I was never able to start The Bat! normally in Version 5 under Windows 7 64-bit (I tried two different Versions 5: the two most recent non-Betas). It sometimes took up to 30 (!) launches of the EXE file to have The Bat! launched, which could take up to 5 or 10 minutes of time. Restarting Windows made no difference in trying. The splash screen always appeared for a split second, without The Bat! launching. Only very infrequently, the following bizarre pair of error messages popped up on the screen instead of The Bat!: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10440809/misc/Bat_Start_Crash.gif (This although I don't remember ever having used the View Mode Setup dialog window in The Bat.) Returning to 4.2.44.2 made all these bugs disappear and everything works fine here. Well, except for the dysfunctional redirection of HTML messages -- a long-standing bug of 10 years or so, not *entirely* satisfactorily resolved in Version 5, either: the TO, CC, BCC fields can't be accessed via the keyboard in Version 5. Please either make the TO, CC, BCC fields in the re-direction window accessible standard-wise via TAB and SHIFT+TAB, or please just assign a keyboard-shortcut letter to each field, such as T, C, B for accessing TO, CC, BCC. Thanks in advance for the fix. :-) -- Yours, Alex. of Slovakia www.avenarius.sk [flying with The Bat! 4.2.44.2 under Windows 7 64-bit 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 AMD Athlon II X4 645 @ 3.10 GHz 8 GB RAM] Current beta is 5.0.22.7 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Broken Sorting Macros in 5.0.22.7

Also, I'm the mail server admin for a large school, and I receive hundreds of messages every single day, which means The Bat! is flapping its wings practically the whole day long on my PC, so that that indication is useless for me. In contrast, the MailTicker window accomplishes exactly what I need in the course of the day: it filters and shows me only the most important messages from the most important folders; and I can handle them all from within MailTicker's window, without ever having to access The Bat's main window! That's exactly what I love: a lean, reduced mail client for the busy hours of a working day. Then, in the evening, I can open The Bat's main window and handle all the other messages delivered in the course of the day which I chose to ignore for the duration of office hours, because they weren't important enough to interrupt my work-flow. Bottom line: Mail Ticker is indispensable for me, and because it doesn't work in Version 5, I can't use Version 5 for now. -- Yours, Alex. of Slovakia www.avenarius.sk [flying with The Bat! 4.2.44.2 under Windows 7 64-bit 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 AMD Athlon II X4 645 @ 3.10 GHz 8 GB RAM] Current beta is 5.0.22.7 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
