But this is still old TB with only little improvements. Engine is still the some. >>>> 2. Account wizard - it works now? .dsi files hmmm … > It's a nice feature for newcomers.

I also support this feature, but this is not feature that is so important that we must change TB version or buy license update. >>>> 2.

There is no new plugins and old are not developed 2. Big discussion lists and forums, sites slowly dying (tb-l, bat-mail.de.vu, pstb, TheBat! World) - no new users, no new posts, no new news. Tell me why this happen? >>>> 3. Account like in OE (example: one Incoming folder for couple >>>> Accounts) >>> nice, but I do not expect this.
