Odd, I've even seen names with a dot without " around it (and that's an illegal construct) get through gmail just fine. Can't explain it.

A new discovery made...hummmm!
After going throught all that BS installing and reinstalling... again I received that 4.3.0 and 4.3.2 errors. There was something that I noticed that ALL of the emails that had that problem had in common. If you notice, There is a name, followed by the email addy surrounded by "<>". If I remove the name The Bat! The email WILL send with NO errors. I tried enclosing the name with "", and it did not make a difference.
The Bat!

Is there a way to fix this? Now that I know what the problem is!

WORKS!
ritlabs-news@maillist.ritlabs.com WORKS!
The Bat! DOES NOT WORK!

ack! I am not a happy camper
I uninstalled thebat, then removed the backed up key from the registry. I rebooted installed the older version, reinstalled the reg key and rebooted. I opened the new 'old' TB, then installed the backed up files and folders and addy book.
Went to do a test on gmail and this is what I got :
1/3/2007, 11:59:53: SEND - sending mail messages - 1 messages in queue
1/3/2007, 11:59:53: SEND - connected to SMTP server

1/3/2007, 11:59:54: SEND - Some messages were not sent - check the log for details

Should I try another clean re-install without the registry backup? Is it possible the problem was carried over through that backed up file?
NEXT?! Back to the drawing board!

=======================
OK, It's now a few hours later than when I posted the message above, and I again uninstalled TB problem version, and reinstalled it without using the key that I saved from the registry. It seems that the problem is carried thru the registry entry.
Starting clean, using my backed up files was a perfect, simple fix!
Thank you!

Hmmm I am on 3.95.6 and have never had trouble polling several Gmail accounts - with any of the versions

Undelete the new version and install the old version.

Before you uninstall the new version export the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT tree in your registry.

Close TB
Start Regedit
Export HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT
Close Regedit
Uninstall TB 3.95.6
Start Regedit
Import HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT again
Close Regedit
Install TB 3.85.03

This procedure will remember your preferences.

More info...
This is NOT a problem ONLY to Gmail!
I am getting 4.3.0 and 4.3.2 errors trying to send to lots of different email servers!

How hard is it to rollback to thebat_home_3-85-03.msi?
Do I need to uninstall the defective version or can the older version go right on top?
Thanks

This has been going on all weekend, since I downloaded this new CHRISTMAS version! 3.95.6. Never had THIS problem with any other edition.
