I still have an old version (v2.12) on one of my computers. I'm
using it periodically with the purpose of archiving the e-mails
that have been collected by my mail server.

It has one major flaw. It tends to choke on retrieving when large
amounts of mail are residing on my server. 500 or more I'd say. 
But I've found a work-around for that problem.

Let's just say The Beta! is an neverending nonstop piece of "work
in progress".

There has been a time, during versions 1.x, when I saw real
potential in The Beta! Version 2 would be a complete rewrite 
in C++ and IMAP would be implemented. So I still had my hopes.

The reason I'm still lingering on on the The Beta! lists is a
mixture of nostalghia and curiosity.
