I can relate to that. I began using TB during the 1.32 Beta cycle. I
registered it after about 4 hours of use. For the most part I have been
very happy with TB. I am not fickle about software clients, I don't change
at the drop of a hat.
The security and filter functions of TB are the main reasons I have stayed
with it. I don't give a whit about HTML, IMAP, PGP or the ability to
synchronize with my cell phone or the satellite radio in my Durango. I
just want it to handle my 12 pop3 accounts, even if I have to leave town
for 2 months.
But, here lately with the new beta cycle, I'm no longer sure. The memory
spikes, finding ALL of my mail in the inbox or the junk folder. I don't
know what has happened with the filtering. Sometimes they work and other
times it is like they don't exist. The memory spiking seems to be better
in beta 25, but in the next one, Rit will most likely add another new
feature, and it will spike again.
All I can say is Poco looks a lot better than it did when I checked it
out a couple of years ago. Time will tell whether I stay with TB or jump.
I rambled on but that is my .02.
