I have been using The Bat since 2002 and I've always been hesitant about upgrading because my e-mail and workflow are so important to me, both personally and professionally. I'm currently using v3.64.01 Pro (Christmas Edition) which was released in 2005! It still works just fine, and the only reason why I should probably upgrade is that Gmail has begun using a type of SSL certificate that this old version of The Bat doesn't recognize, so I can't retrieve my gmail messages anymore.
Anyway, I'm concerned that my many accounts, account settings, filters, quick templates, address book, keyboard shortcuts, etc, may not be picked up by a new version, or that everything works or looks differently from what I am used to. Is that a valid concern or can I just take the plunge?
I'm using a 32-bit Windows system and all my accounts are plain POP3. I'm using the Bayes Filter plug-in (with white- and blacklists) to remove spam automatically.
Thanks in advance for any helpful comments!
