OAuth2?

Where did you see they did not add OAUTH2 until last December (aka
December 2019)? Their blog to which I linked that announced they added
OAUTH2 was dated back in January 2016. Not 3 months ago, but over 4
*YEARS* ago.

For more evidence, see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bat!#History

Version 7.1 released Jan 2016 added OAUTH2 support.

These guys do not look like the can be counted on to fix things.

Supposition without evidence. You're making up excuses to qualify your
decision to cease investigation.

If I am going to pay you for your software, you'd better fix your sh*t
and do it in a timely manner!

More suppositions without any evidence. More FUD.

First, visit their forums to see who is responding there. Then, if you
buy the program, report back after you have tried working with them to
resolve an issue. I'd suggest first hitting their forums with your
inquiries rather than waiting for responses back from their technical
support, especially if you're asking how to use the product rather than
reporting something not working with it.

It's obvious you don't want to spend the time to test The Bat! as a
solution or spend the money on it (for your copy to do the testing
although you'll pass that cost to customers later if it is a solution).
So, just say so. Stop condemning without proof, and just admit to your
bias.

I don't have any trouble getting my customers to buy software if it is
under $100.00.

Are these the same customers that wouldn't spend a dime on
business-grade backup software, like Macrium Reflect, and why you were
still trying to use free Cobian for them?

I misread it.

Same ones. Macrium is a bad deal. It uses proprietary
archives. And no OAuth2 support last I checked. These
customers would pay for it if I told then to do so.

The reason for Cobian is that it uses non-proprietary
archives that can be read with any file manager
from any operating system. No bull**** when you
are trying to recover a system.

And no bull**** about your version being too out of date
and you have to buy the current version to get your
stuff back and the current version won't read your
stuff because it is so out of date and you have
to send it to us to get it back, for an additional
fee, of course and guess you will be down for another
two weeks, but only if you pay for FedEx overnight.

I would love to find a sub for Cobian, but have not so far.
With all the wrappers I have written for Cobian, it
does ot look like it would be too hard just to finish the
job myself, but then the gate of hell would open and gobble
me up.

They are not cross platform, so I don't care.

Also Thunderbird is a wonderful product.

Not being cross-platform is not cause for your claims they don't support
their product.

Of course. My claim was based on the year
that I got wrong on OAuth2 support, not
on them not being cross platform.

My considerable years of experience is that
paid software does not take requests from their
customers. It is pretty much "as is".

On the other hand, one of the Thunderbird
developers threw together a special version
of Thunderbird to help me with an imap
migration problem
