batting the bat or how i switched email clients..there are different kindes of email clients. on the pc side of the world you can maybe differentiate between outlook-like types (easy and unflexible) and netscape mail-like types (the classical 3 panel setup - folders, messages, message preview - multiple accounts, filters and so on..).
i've always been in the latter camp with using, certainly, netscape, pmmail/2 and for the last years the bat.
the bat has always been the closest to pmmail, that's why it has been chosen at the time (some 4 years ago) and it was fast as hell even with giant message bases at that time of some 10.000 messages.
but - this was then and now is now. the world of email changed radically, first with the heavy increase of spam, than of virii and worms and later with the demand for increased mobility and the need for synchronisation or online access to you mailbox by IMAP. today, message bases of power users count in the gigabytes and 100.000 messages.
using an email client seems to be a bit like driving a car of a certain brand. when you need a new car you take the successor of your old one. so, when a new version of my mail client is released, i certainly use that.
with the bat it was the same, i shelled out the 45 EUR for the business version, i use it partly for that purpose and appreciate the work on a program of that complexity.
but then, things went ugly. the IMAP support in the bat's 1.x branch was crude but usable, it basically provided the same functionality like you had with POP3. the 2.0 release of the bat, expected and announced for years, promised high and mighty "full IMAPrev1 support" - but what an exaggeration!
from the developers point of view this statement may even have been right - client and server could exchange commands and data according to IMAPrev1 - but the client side was so lousy! basic UI considerations like instant feedback was not provided. filtering mechanisms - the proud of the POP3 side of the bat just didn't work.
but not enough, after waiting some months until the arrival of a maintenance version which, after some testing, provided at least an again usable IMAP support i bought my license in the hope that ritlabs (the developers of the bat) are working on fullfilling their promises. a week later they suddenly removed the "full IMAP-support" advertising. great. i bought a new version with a lot of new but mostly questionable usefull features minus one usefull. thanks.

Confirmation
it's always nice to find it's own thought confirmed by someone much smarter then one self - here, rob pike from google in this slashdot article:
One of the big insights in the last few years, through work by the internet search engines but also tools like Udi Manber's glimpse, is that data with no meaningful structure can still be very powerful if the tools to help you search the data are good. In fact, structure can be bad if the structure you have doesn't fit the problem you're trying to solve today, regardless of how well it fit the problem you were solving yesterday. So I don't much care any more how my data is stored; what matters is how to retrieve the relevant pieces when I need them.
Grep was the definitive Unix tool early on; now we have tools that could be characterized as `grep my machine' and `grep the Internet'. GMail, Google's mail product, takes that idea and applies it to mail: don't bother organizing your mail messages; just put them away for searching later. It's quite liberating if you can let go your old file-and-folder-oriented mentality. Expect more liberation as searching replaces structure as the way to handle data.
