Download The Bat! 7.1.18

Ritlabs has version 7.1.18 of its email program The Bat! updated and added contact management for Exchange accounts, among other things. 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 have been separate 32bit and 64bit downloads, and the Home and Pro editions have been dropped in favor of a single implementation.
