"The Bat! is an incredibly light and sophisticated email client. In my tests Task Manager never exceeded the 15MB mark with an average of just 8-11MB of ram constantly used. Of all, this is the lightest client I tried.
Ritlabs (makers of The Bat!) stresses on security. The client supports PGP, S/MIME, CrypoAPI, SSLv3, TSL, ASLR, DEP and a bunch more of fancy security acronyms. It uses an internal address book and an internal HTML viewer, both designed to avoid virus attacks to known Windows and Internet Explorer vulnerabilities.
The Bat! is a solid and elaborated application, but all this power comes to a cost: it is quite complicated and tedious to configure.
None of the email accounts I tried have been configured automatically, not even the usual suspects (hotmail and gmail). You have to manually configure everything, including telling which IMAP folder is trash, which is inbox, etc. The emails in the junk folder are left as unread and you have to set up a filter/rule if you don’t want to be notified of new spam.
The interface also needs quite some time to be personalized and some options are hard to find or not trivial to use. To rearrange the columns in the email list for example you can’t simply drag and drop them; you have to go in the preferences, change the column arrangement (without preview), click apply, see if the end result suits you and repeat until you are satisfied. Long and tedious process.
If you need to heavily customize the interface and you have many email address, the initial setup might take quite some time.
What it completely lacks is any kind of spam filter. I know that it should be installed on the server level or maybe the anti-virus already has it, but an email client without spam filter seems hard to believe.
The Bat! has a plug-in system that lets you connect to external spam filters and I believe AntispamSniper is the suggested one, but that brings the cost of the whole lot to €40/$47 for the client + €17/$19 for the anti-spam.
Apart from that The Bat! is an email client like it was in the late 90s. It can be a good or a bad point to you, but email evolved and I find this lack of innovation quite annoying.
That being said Ritlabs’ software is probably the best client I tried so far. If you value lightness and security, The Bat! is definitely for you but it’s a far from perfect email reader"
