[-] When importing messages from MS Outlook or retrieving from MS Exchange server via MAPI, transport message headers (RFC-822) weren't preserved for messages delivered by SMTP.
[-] Import from MS Office 2000 Outlook and earlier didn't work in The Bat! since version 2.05
[-] Better name resolution in Exhchange MAPI sessions.
[-] Exchange MAPI: The Bat! might consider some folders on Exchange server as not for email messages and could skip them during mail retrieval
[-] Exchange MAPI: incorrect number of processing folders was displayed during mail retrieval: The Bat! did also count empty folders
[-] Exchange MAPI: The Bat! did improperly calculate the total e-mail message count: non-email items like appointments or addresses were also added to the total number of e-mail messages to retrieve, although The Bat! did skip these non-email items
[-] Exchange MAPI: you can go to Account|Properties|Options and turn on "Verbose Log" to see which folders and items does The Bat! skip or process during Exchange retrieval
[-] Exchange MAPI: A dialog box should be displayed to prompt the user for the profile password, if required. Now The Bat! uses the following MapiLogonEx flags: MAPI_EXTENDED | MAPI_ALLOW_OTHERS | MAPI_EXPLICIT_PROFILE | MAPI_NEW_SESSION | MAPI_PASSWORD_UI | MAPI_FORCE_DOWNLOAD.
[-] Exchange MAPI: When verbose logging is enabled, when The Bat! skips non-email items, it displays the Message Class and Subject of these items.
[-] Exchange MAPI: The Bat! did calculate the number of skipped messages improperly.
[-] possible AV on exit, IMAP account
