  Since I upgraded to version 3 I have not had this problem once.

  Before version 3 my bat! would "lock up" (during message download
  from any of the several mail servers I use) several times per day
  and I would have to kill the task from Windows Task Manager.  Abort
  never worked for me either.  Very frustrating - especially if I
  forgot to restart the Bat!

  I did learn that I could make the situation better if I used the
  Dispatch Mail on Server and use Read and Delete and/or reduce the
  number of messages in a batch if many had built up.

  Has anyone else noticed the action buttons are now mis-labeled on
  the "Pick e-mail addresses" dialog?  (They are now 4, 44, 3, 33, r,
  s - not sure when this happened - hardly ever use that dialog - not
  a big deal really )

  Good idea.

  I have one named "Prev 1 days" which is filtered on all folders for
  messages less than 1 day old.  I use this folder to quickly search
  for messages received during the past 24 hours.  I have about 12
  accounts and many folders so this is very useful for me.

  I have another named "Action" which is filtered on all folders for
  messages assigned to my "Action" color group.  These are messages
  that require a response or some action on my part.  When I complete
  the work I change the color group.

can be obtained from registry - see:
 "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation"

But probably better using Windows API:
 call GetTimeZoneInformation()

 gives struct _TIME_ZONE_INFORMATION { // tzi
 LONG   Bias;
 WCHAR  StandardName[ 32 ];
 SYSTEMTIME StandardDate;
 LONG   StandardBias;
 WCHAR  DaylightName[ 32 ];
 SYSTEMTIME DaylightDate;
 LONG   DaylightBias;
 
 Where Bias is difference in minutes between UTC and local time.

As I understand it the usual process is that DELE marks a message for
deletion which occurs later at the disconnect.  However, I think this
probably varies with the mail server and as far as I know there is no
requirement that it occur this way.

More than likely it is a result of the way messages are stored in the
unix format mail boxes - which are just stacked in on top of each
other.  So the mailbox has to be completely rewritten.
