Hi all, I posted the following on the forum and someone suggested I'd get more feedback posting it in this mailing list:
I have been a The Bat! user for years now, paid for a licence and upgraded when v2 arrived. For a few months now I've switchen from retrieving a number of seperate accounts on multiple computers to one imap account that retrieves the mail, which I access through the Bat. Since then the IMAP support in The Bat has been irritating me to no end. With v3 I was reluctant to upgrade and am now running the trail on a PC I was using Mozilla Thunderbird on before, which I was considering using as my primary email client, despite some lacking features (filtering, templates, etc). There are a few issues that are still present in the Bat v3 that are keeping me from upgrading: - new mail issues. I enabled play sound on new mail and the animation for detection of new mail. However when new mail arrives in my imap acount in a subfolder, instead of the folder being bold with a "1" behind it, there is a *, which does indicate unread mail but does not affect the animation, so I still don't know there's new mail. The sound doesn't seem to work at all and if it did I'd still want to have the animation working if, say, I was not at my desk when the mail arrived and when I get back I could still see that there's new/unread mail. This is properly supported in Mozilla Thunderbird. - all this wouldn't be all that bad if the Mail Ticker settings (and other folder settings for that matter) would be inherited by the subfolders. I use folder for different email addresses, and subfolder for things such as different customers. When I set an identity for the main folder, I have to set them for each of the subfolders as well. Highly time consuming. Same goes for the mail ticker setting. Can't there at least be an option to select whether or not you want the settings to be applied to the subfolders? If someone from the Ritlabs team can give me some satisfactory answers to these remarks, I'll probably upgrade to v3. Otherwise I'd seriously be considering switching to Thunderbird.
