RITLabs announces the launch of a new version of The Bat! email client.
In The Bat! v5 we have completely reworked the intercommunication engine. This is an important step as it allowed us to significantly improve access to email via the IMAP-protocol, to implement new search capabilities, and to display the relevant processes. These changes made the program more stable and secure.

Our upgrade policy remains the same – all users of 4.1 and further versions can upgrade to version 5.0 free of charge without updating their license keys. Version 4.x.x license key will be valid for version 5.0.x. Previous versions of the program can be upgraded to The Bat! v5 with a 30% discount on our website –www.ritlabs.com– or via our official dealers.

The Bat! Professional Edition has been downloaded and scanned by FileCluster on Feb 1, 2011 with a 4-in-1 antivirus security solution, composed by: BitDefender Antivirus Pro, NOD32, Avira Antivirus and Kaspersky Antivirus.

We are happy to inform our users that starting December, 23, 2010 you can pre-purchase license keys for version 5.x.x. Users that purchase licenses after December, 23, will receive keys that work with versions 4.x.x, 5.x.x and 6.0.

All of us at RITLabs want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We thought that words alone would not be enough. So, we have a special gift for our users The Bat! 4.2.42. This version will be the last 4.x.xx version; we plan to issue The Bat! 5.0 in the near future. We know that you will love this upcoming version as much as we do.
