The Bat! (64bit)7.4.8

The Bat! is a secure email client software, built to protect your correspondence against third-parties.

The Bat! protects your information through multiple encryption streams, with the option to keep all information encrypted on your disk, and to protect emails during communication using end-to-end encryption (E2EE). The Bat! can work without global email providers that keep your messages in the cloud, where they can be stolen. The Bat! keeps your emails on your computer to make them private. The Bat! blocks malicious code and tracking pixels that spread via email. This is a way to protect from email hacking.

The Bat! email program is able to process and store an unlimited number of messages and has no restriction on the number of email accounts accessible via IMAP, POP, MAPI protocols. The Bat! is a perfect multiple email account manager - allows you to quickly access all your email accounts in one place. The Bat! is a safe, robust and reliable mail application. It handles very large message bases quickly and with small memory footprint.

The MailTicker™ is, without doubt, one of the most powerful features of The Bat!. The MailTicker™ adds a visual indicator to your desktop similar to those stock exchange banners you may know from certain TV news channels. It shows unread messages, as defined by a set of simple options you can choose from.

Key Features:
  • PGP, GnuPG and S/MIME support
  • Internal HTML Viewer
  • Safe handling of attached files
  • Selective download
  • Powerful filtering system
  • The Bat!’s own Address Book
  • Handy templates
  • RSS Feed subscriptions 

What's New

Version 7.4.8

Improvements

  • Increased speed of entering a folder or sorting messages in the list by "From/To/Subject" columns if there are only Latin characters. The speed increase is mostly noticeable in folders with more than 100 thousand messages

  • MD5 hash has been removed from the S/MIME preferences
  • When non-OpenPGP mode is selected, the PGP menu items in the message editor are hidden
  • (#0000062) The Bat! didn't highlight addresses with equal sign ("=") in the local-part. If such addresses were displayed in the headers, there were no menus to carry out operations over them such as adding to the address book
  • Import S/MIME certificates(s) from a signed message didn't always work

Fixes

  • Malformed account transport settings on high resolution monitors
  • (#0001066) Untranslatable tooltips in the print preview

  • (#0000933) Unable to start The Bat! if on-the-fly encryption (OTFE) setup had been cancelled
  • Better error handling of The Bat! version checking via DNS, sometimes invalid responses could cause an Access Violation error
  • (#0000880) Opening mail shows error popup "TMailMessage.FindIdx --- ALREADY DESTROYED!" (Fixed "ALREADY DESTROYED!" or "METHOD CALLED ON FREED OBJECT!" errors when selecting different folders on IMAP while The Bat! filters messages on IMAP)
  • Fixed an Access Violation error at start related to Quick Reply, also fixed the "ClassName: EComponentError / Message: A component named __ already exists" error related to quick reply
  • (#0001146) Messages arrived to an IMAP folder aren't filtered if they arrive while other messages are filtered
  • (#0000193) If an IMAP filter has multiple actions, sometimes only some of them are executed
  • Minor speed increase when working with internal hash structures
  • (#0000841) The Bat! didn't properly support character encodings when working with HunSpell dictionaries, e.g. the Latvian special symbols are replaced with Cyrillic symbols in the Spell Checker
  • (#0001147) Filtering on IMAP stops with an Access Violation error while setting color groups
  • (#0001142) Drop-downs on the main toolbar have areas with no reaction to mouse clicks
  • Editor text color and search highlight text colors were hardcoded as "black" and "white", while they had to take colors from Windows system colors (Themes)
  • There was an error when trying to run The Bat! while another The Bat! process didn't exit for some reason
  • (#0000152) Automatic filters stop working altogether for certain IMAP folders, restarting didn't help, newly arrived messages were not filtered too
  • (#0001144) Wrong size of fonts in print preview and the printed message (in tags like "small")
  • (#0001012) Print preview looks OK but the final print is not formatted properly
  • (#0001140) The HTML is viewed OK but in print or print preview, margins are incorrectly calculated and the text is trimmed at the right
  • There were redundant right and bottom margins on printed pages
  • (#0001143) Searching for messages using the mid: links in other folders didn't work since 5.0.36.2 released on 02-Mar-2012
  • [#0001139] If there were national characters in mailto: url and The Bat! was set as a default mailto: handler, these national characters were replaced to question marks. As a result, description of web-pages with national characters sent from browsers appears as question marks in Subject.
  • (#0001134) Filling the background color of table cells fails
  • (#0001131) "Minus" closing buttons in the message finder didn't scale on high-definition monitors; besides that, these buttons were two pixels higher than needed
  • (#0000462) OpenPGP Error Window does not show national characters
  • (#0001141) Truncated text field in QR-Code Generator (German GUI)
