-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I have been using The Bat! since 1.2 or there abouts. The program has always performed well. I have used it for pop3 only for that time. I have tried betas and found a few problems, but it is a solid program, even after the unexpected release of 3. I believe most, if not all the problems are due to the millions of different configurations people can put on their computers. I have never used a "plug-in" for anti-virus, but am currently using BayesIT! 0.6.0.1 with no problem. My only complaint is that I must supply the old serial number to upgrade to the new version. If I download the trial of the new version to see if I like it, the old serial number is gone. There is no way to retrieve it from The Bat! program without downgrading, which can cause problems. Other than that, I always come back to The Bat! As a little background, I have been a computer professional, both hardware and software, since 1978. I bought my first PC in 1980 and have built every one I have ever used, except my current laptop. I now teach computer science and computer certification courses. I can write programs in C/C++, HTML, Javascript and Perl. I know many people do not consider html and javascript programming languages, but never the less, I teach them and use them regularly. That said, I believe that most The Bat! problems are system configuration problems. Windows is easily the most unstable program ever written. It can easily be broken. I format and reinstall every 6 months because I do not want crashes. I never have any. My systems run smoothly and cleanly, even though I am a shareware addict. Well, there it is. I have used The Bat! for years with no problems. I am sorry other people have problems and consider 3.x unstable. I suggest backing up your important data, reformatting and reinstalling. If you are using 98 or Me, get XP, it truly is better. - -- Michael L.
