Martin, don't worry - they will add small icons again, info with probability 99,87%
I just don't know when it will be.

Count me in for smaller icon as well.


Can the toolbar be moved up to fit between "TheBat!" on the top left and the windows manipulation buttons on the top right?

One likes to maximise screen space for useful purposes!!

Sure enough, there are some problems in the new HTML editor not resolved during this Beta cycle, but they are not considered as show stoppers and generally the new editor finally looks like a better replacement of the old one. So, we will continue collect feedback on the new editor and of course will keep on fixing problems and make improvements.

Thank you very much for your help!

Version 9.4:
The new HTML editor is appalling. One novelty ten errors. I returned to version 9.3.4 :-(
 
I hate to be negative about something that has obviously had a lot of work put into it, but I uninstalled it a couple hours after installing it and plan to open some tickets when I get a few extra minutes.

In a related problem, when I tried to uninstall v9.4 and reinstall v9.3.4, even though it says it succeeded, the GUI and behavior is still that of 9.4 and it reports 9.4 in the "About" window.  I don't think this is necessarily peculiar to v9.4 since I've had similar "install older version" problems in the past on several different computers.  How do you "really" uninstall it?  I imagine some registry tweaks are necessary but I don't know what they might be and I can't afford to lose all my email histories playing with it.
 
>>  How do you "really" uninstall it?  
I do uninstall and then only do install back 9-3-4

>> I returned to version 9.3.4 :-(
Same here. Excel tables copy/pasting and redacting isn't good. There is no styles. Etc.

>>  One novelty ten errors.
Don't forget send support all the bugs.

Your product THEBAT! . I keep losing my inboxes when updating. I bought the program for my company. Your support didn't answer my question, it's been a few months now. Today again with the update of THEBAT program! he has failed. I believe you are a scammer and are charging money for non-working software. Version software: 9.4.1 The Bat! Professional Edition
 
It may help if you describe your use (e.g., IMAP, POP) and describe more detail of your problem. There are a number of knowledgeable people on the forum. TB! has been around for 24 years with a strong customer following, so it's clearly no scam. However, it is a complex product with a steep learning curve. There have been many updates in recent months as the developers are transitioning to some new technology, so my personal preference is to NOT UPGRADE during this period if TB! is working satisfactorily. Also, we're volunteers here, so please respect that. I regret you are having difficulties.

Sorry but new HTML editor is terrible. I'm downgrading to 9.3.4.
 
I just got an email pertaining to the upcoming TB v10.  Due to the significant problems people are having with the current v9 release, that seems a little odd to me :-(
 
>>  pertaining to the upcoming TB v10.
This is normal behavior. Every two year we have new version.

>> Due to the significant problems people are having with the current v9 release
v9-3-4 is the best for me now and I will be stay with this version before killing few new bugs that I find.
Yes, new html-editor from v9-4 isn't good now. Nevertheless RitLabs is going to fix this problems.

I've been using TB Home since v7, and I can't recall a single release that didn't frequently crash with memory access violation errors — which is rather disappointing to see in a security-oriented application.  dickssportinggoods feedback www.lowes.com survey

That experience is certainly not representative for users of The Bat in general. Speaking only for myself, I've used The Bat extensively for 20+ years, with hundreds of thousands of messages, and have experienced not even a handful of crashes during all that time. Search the forum for 'crash' and you'll find several threads with suggestions on possible causes and solutions. If you wish to discuss this further, please use one of these threads or start a new one.
I volunteer as a moderator to help keep the forum tidy. I do not work for Ritlabs SRL.
 
Can someone tell me, if he has also problems with folder processing "task"? This very annoying problem shows up several times per day, and everytime it hangs up TB and I have to shut it down manually from tasks. How can i turn this feature OFF? Or is it solved in some newer versions? I have 9.5. now.
I've found only connection with IMAP folders, but I don't use them.

Is this "my problem" somehow connected with filters?

THanks
