It is an unconstructive way of dealing with your own frustrations, I believe. It would be better to go on a long walk in the woods or something. Oh really? I reported the IMAP bugs on the bugtracker and on this lists. See: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=6016 https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=6017 https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=6019 other serious bugs reported by others: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=4880 https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=6127 https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=3961 (!!!) All of them were completely ignored or I were said that Rit will deal with them later, like in another version. I paid my money for the upgrade to 2.0 with promised IMAP support ~5 YEARS ago. It's 2008 and still no proper IMAP support no the old bugs get fixed. They tried it in version 3.0 then again in 3.0.22 or was it 3.0.98 (?), then again they promised IMAP and completely new user interface for version 4 but changed their minds along the way and said that of course it will be for version 4, just not for 4.0 but for 4.1. In the mean time they are adding/fixing Smilies, Rogue Icons, HTML viewer (when you can use IE or Gecko engines), Mail Chat (???), changing The Bat!'s splash screen in every new version (???). Who cares about this stuff when we cannot receive mail anyway? On the other hand I can see why they are changing TB!'s appearance so often. To cover not working things and to give consumer an expression that this is completely new program. Let me quote you, RitLabs, an anonymous quote: [this] Shit IS unbelievable. But there it is, staring at you, smiling, getting right up your nose, weakening your knees, watering up your eyes, turning your stomach with its kryptonite-like powers. It's even worse if it is Somebody Else's Shit. You can't kill shit, at best you can cover it up, but sooner or later, everyone knows, it's there, in the room, lurking, infecting the atmosphere. Some would say that IMAP is not important and nobody uses it and that's completely not true. Every company with more than 10 users uses IMAP or MAPI. Because it is IMPOSSIBLE to manage large quantities of email on different computers and different locations with POP3. Google and MSN already realized this. And for the guys who said that IMAP standard doesn't describe how interface should work, THAT'S BU%$*IT. Of course it doesn't describe how interface should work, but we are talking here not about standard implementation we are talking about IMAP functionality in The Bat! as a whole. At this stage it is unusable and should be considered as alpha (or experimental preview) phase. IMHO it is so unusable that should be removed in release versions completely. Because with a bugs like 3961 it only causes danger to consumer's email. Also one could say that IMAP is very difficult to implement. That's another bu*$^it. Let me tell you - USA, EU and Russians almost finished building International Space Station in that time! IMAP IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! Rit (or should I better say developers of Rit) had 7 YEARS for this and they still can put up their s**t together. I've contacted the support, I've reported bugs, nothing changed. I should say this smart-a__ criticism is the only thing that's LEFT. Maybe then they'll listen (however I don't believe so). I don't use TB! Anymore, but I'll just stay around and see where this joke TB! - IMAP story will end. -- Best Regards, Happy Outlook User.

Maybe you and he can start your own forum. I think this is not for you to decide. My message was to RitLabs, not to you or anyone else in this list. They own the list and only they (or their trusted moderators) can tell me when and what to post or not. I've tried to get the message by reporting bugs. I've tried to get the message by contacting support. Now I'm trying to get the message by talking directly to their developers in this list. Basically I'm trying _everything_ like they in Russia say: Metodom naucnava tyka. If none of this is appropriate then RitLabs should tell us what way they prefer, because I don't see any other way? -- Best Regards, Vilius Šumskas LNK TV IT manager mob.: +370 614 75713 http://www.lnk.lt Current beta is 4.0.24.10 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

RZ Carsten, so nice to see that I'm not the only one with this bug. RZ In general this particular bug still keeps me on thunderbird. I RZ think that our responses to new betas released could be: RZ Up and running but IMAP counters are still not fixed:) Please, don't do it.
