I was forced to switch from Thebat to OE
 
I cannot even explain in english how I hate Outlook Express, the clumsy interface, lack of shortcuts, slow.... mmmmmh I hate it. Since I remember I was always using thebat, probably since the version 1.X a few years back, but Bat is missing a few necessary for me features and I am writing this message in hope that The Bat developers will read it and maybe introduce them to the newer versions. Since my business has grown a lot and I am handling tens of emails a day and some of them are just direct orders to my employees, I need a way to "follow up" on my emails. So just that I send a certain email and I mark it for follow up in a day or two, also this email will show up on my todo list. It is I must admit perfectly done in Outlook, The bat developers please I beg you introduce such feature in a future version. I hope to see some response here :)

Hi there!

In answer to your query about follow-ups for messages.
I did it by creating a 'common task' in the 'sorting office & filters' tool. I made it manual, activated with a hotkey.

When I want a reminder of a particular message, I press the hotkey sequence and the next day a reminder is flashed up for me.

It's not perfect (the options being, tomorrow or next week...) but it works!

The hotkey also changes the colour-group to a bold,red text and places the message into a 'follow-up' folder I've created.

Hope this helps.

Stephen
