Download The Bat! 6.8.2

Ritlabs has version 6.8.2 of its email program The Bat! released. The program supports several pop3 and imap4 accounts, and has a Bayesian spam filter and extensive search and filtering capabilities. Since version 6.7 there are separate 32bit and 64bit downloads. The separate Home and Pro editions have also been dropped, in favor of a single version. The changelog of this version looks like this:

New features

• Accounts can now be associated with Color Groups
• Incoming filters are now working for RSS Feeds
• The “Create New Account” dialog will hide MAPI from the list of protocols if none is detected in the current system
• You can configure The Bat! to not specify the %EMAIL% variable by running it with the /DontWriteEmailEnvironmentVariable command line parameter, or by setting the DWORD DontWriteEmailEnvironmentVariable variable to 1 under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT\The Bat!
• An animated indicator has been added to in the “Create New Account” dialog

Improvements

• Timing log for the Exchange accounts
• The Bat! will ignore IPF.NOTE.SOCIALCONNECTOR, IPF.NOTE.OUTLOOKHOMEPAGE, IPF.ShortcutFolder, Outlook.Reminder folder types while interacting with the Exchange server via MAPI
• The “User name” label has been renamed to “Mailbox name” in MAPI accounts to differentiate it from the user name used for authentication
