Re[2]: Bye Bye The Bat.... Say Hi to Becky!
Hey Dierk, My point was, and I think is still valid for others on this list, that The Bat! shouldn't be assessed on the weight of its BETA releases. I was in no way having a dig at Becky, I was merely pointing out that I see testing Beta software almost as a privilege that an individual can either take or leave, bug slagging The Bat! based on its beta code is unfair.

Re: Bye Bye The Bat.... Say Hi to Becky!
Hey Alexander, How on earth can you base your decision to dump The Bat! on the quality and stability of it's BETAs??? Beta releases are announced as buggy and usually come with a disclaimer stating that they are far from perfect. If you are not prepared to put up with buggy software that is still in development, then don't use beta software. That The Bat! is a dog based on its betas is a lame point of view to take. Go back to the stable release. See you back here when you figure out that Becky is not all that The Bat! is. I have tried many email clients, but nothing has ever topped The Bat! Andrew.

And the essential missing AT features were still not fixed or implemented (did someone say true IMAP4 AT support?). Another major complain of mine is the increase in memory AT usage. TB also feels more and more like a slow old animal, that needs AT its time to browse through my folders with hundreds of mails. AT Now... has anyone tried Becky! V2.x?! I did, and I must say, that this AT is a wonderful little gem. It does everything TB should do (excluding AT the TB macro features, which I virtually never use)...and it does it AT without screaming or bugging or crashing my PC. Just have a look at its AT filter technique, and you will feel really tired of using TB's filters AT again. AT Anyways, I say bye to this newsgroup for I am not any longer a TB user. -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
