If there are new features introduced I personally would call that and
upgrade, to me a patch is only to correct bugs.

I purchased my copy the same as everyone else, and as such am a very
satisfied customer. Excellent support on occasions it has been needed,
in fact they have answered email just a quick as Forte.

How I have just looked at the Agent help file and I cannot see how to run
multiple accounts from one copy of the program. Unless you mean by having
more than one copy of the program loaded

NetcGold can handle as many as you like, mine at the moment is set up for
seven. That is seven different people, on one copy of the program that can
collect all their email from different servers with one phone call. If
Agent can do that I would like to know how please.

How is that relevant to how a program performs. I have used computers for
many years that in no way has any bearing on how a commercial program I
buy works.

Fine that is as it should be, so what is *seriously* wrong with NetcGold,
bearing in mind that the perfect computer program has not yet been
written, it is bound to have some faults. Sure there are some minor things
with it I don't like, but I do not accept it has serious faults. I should
like to hear just what it is that you contend this fault is.
