That is an interesting summary of the current situation. IT would be helpful to have RIT provide a concise answer outlining who is working on what at this time. > When the developers who have enough English to be able to communicate > with us are very busy, we have often seen these silent periods in the > past. Noted. Yet, one of my concern still remains that when they do communicate, they can surprise us with new beta releases that contain many new features and do not include stable fixes to identified problems. > Could you be more specific and pinpoint again your problems? Yes. First, I'm running 3.5.25 on Windows XP SP 2 with 512 memory on an Asus board. I'm running no plug ins and no special features (e.g., non stock graphics etc.). My problems include.... a) chronic position issues with the connection centre. It appears behind, and often graphically broken. I've run the MSI install repair with no success. b) memory problems. After running the program for more than two hours, when I shut down, lots of hanging and then sometimes I have to kill the program. Version 25 was a little better, not much. c) automatic deleting when I shut down the program even after I have turned off the feature in the individual account. d) Overall, a noted decrease in speed and performance over the last official release. As I have mentioned, I have followed the conversation and my problems are not discussed. The only notable problem appears to the Connection Centre. Overall, the program simply runs poorly compared to its previous version. In fact, the step up to version 3.x from 2.x is simply not provided the promised improvements. Furthermore, IMAP is still "questionable" at best. I've given up on that front and use other programs if IMAP is required. If I could get a reasonable document outlining where we are going with this program, I could make some real decisions. I keep holding out for the next update only to find another round of problems and reduction in functions. The decline in performance in the current version, when testing on five difference computers is noticeable along with the growing size of the exe file. So, I'm waiting and wondering. I hope we will have some real news soon. Jerry -- Ethan J. Mings Principal, The Desk 99 Bronte Road - Suite 815 Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
