If that's compulsory, I doubt I'll "upgrade."

Tuxman:
Maxim said they'd replace the existing toolbars by a new toolkit.

I wonder how many people will stand up against that.

Tuxman:
After considering my options for what comes after The Bat! 8.8.9, I bought Pandora and uninstalled The Bat! today, keeping Thunderbird with Enigmail as my GnuPG fallback until Pandora (or Pegasus Mail? ;)) gets GnuPG support as well. Ribbons. Ugh! Thank you, Steven, for this opportunity. (Are you aware that Pandora does have virtual mailboxes?)

The one thing that lets Pandora struggle is an old(ish) mailing list which has almost 60,000 messages in it. It takes ages to change anything in that folder.
I took the time to empty it now ...  ;D

I have quite a few improvement suggestions and I found a few bugs. I reported all of them.
Let's see how this will end.

Steven Avery:
Good info.

I’ll have took for the virtual folders.  What are they called in Pandora?

Mailing list or box? 
In Eudora I always broke them out when much over 30K to an archive, I think to avoid memory issues.

Pandora has real potential.

Tuxman:
Good start: I accidentally deleted all of my e-mails yesterday because I thought that "In" was only a mirror of my actual INBOX folders.
There is that "Leave Mail on Server" checkbox... which is easy to miss.

 :-\

Pandora should probably not use that for IMAP.
Well, at least now I know that my provider's backup system works.

Those are called a "Mailbox" afaics. Just like "In" and "Out" are nothing but "Mailboxes". Which I know now.  ;D

edit: The HERMES people also plan to add new features:

I guess they're just slow. ;)
