DE> I am sorry but it was released a alpha release. Yes. See above. That being said, I don't mind Ritlabs releasing an Alpha to the general public (although it as per BS standards would be a Beta :-) ) as long as it is clearly marked as such. People (including myself) have anxiously been waiting for news from Ritlabs and I suppose that they have released this version to give people something to "work with". Personally, I'll wait for the Beta. And then I will wait to hear if IMAP is better than the one I am using now.
