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. >2) The various releases are all "unfinished business as usual" Let's just say The Beta! is an neverending nonstop piece of "work in progress". >WHAT are you doing here? 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.
