I think I was one of the first batch that tried out TB3, however, it seems my mailbox does not fit into TB3 – I have ~600 mail folders, with ~110K mails and the biggest folder has about 8000 mails. Obvious old version of TB3 cannot handle this – it popped up error message window from time to time and every time I started TB3 I have to wait for pretty long time to get everything sync’ed.

Thanks 3.0.3, it works now.

As a side note, corporate IT seems force me upgrade to TB3 for whatever reason I don’t know, so I put a shortcut on my desktop to downgrade to TB2 – I believe I’ve run this “downgrade” close to 50 times in the past 3 months, luckily I no longer need to do it.

However, the look-n-feel is neat, makes it a cute product and makes me thinking – the old version is too “formal”.

It seems in now a day, people care UI more than functionality, if I had the choice I would not upgrade to the new version so that I can keep my productivity, but it’s a pity it was set to upgrade automatically (I made the setting? not sure).

Will (have to) keep using it till I get familiar, anyway I don’t have any other alternative, yet, or maybe it’s the time to look for alternative.
