Add a note to the issue report on Bug Tracker, why don't you? : https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=4612 > b) memory problems.

So, could you detail further circumstances of your specific set-up that might help the developers pinpoint why this is happening to you and not to most of the rest of us? > c) automatic deleting when I shut down the program even after I have > turned off the feature in the individual account.

Again, this is way too general a comment to help anyone pinpoint what's going wrong for you. :( > As I have mentioned, I have followed the conversation and my problems > are not discussed.

What's needed are specific reports of exact circumstances--when confirmed, these can be added to the Bug Track issues pages, where they can be assigned to specific programmers for work. > ...Furthermore, IMAP is still "questionable" at best.

Everyone knows that IMAP is receiving serious work in the current beta series, or at least I would guess, everyone *should* know!! As far as v. 3.5.26, I went back to its first announcement as a "rar" and found this list of the "fixed" things from Maxim, in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Quoting Maxim from June 7: --Begin Copy-and-Paste---------------------------------------- http://www.ritlabs.com/download/files3/the_bat/beta/tb3526.rar [-] The "On-The-Fly Encryption" startup choice might have ignored. [-] (#0004424) %OAttachments gave mime-encoded filenames in 3.0.9.x (works correctly until 3.0.2.10) [-] Address Book - the View of Intermediate and Trusted Root CA is without function.

But I think the general direction of the work is clear, and that we can be most helpful by staying very specific in what we report and ask for on TBBETA. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.5.26 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.26 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
