    This is a stupid program. It doesn't let you select language :(

    I've been using the latest devs and noticed that it occasionally will use up to 400mb of memory for some reason. Sitting idle as it does most of the time it is using quite a bit atm around 80mb. If your looking for something super light weight checkout komamail. This has encryption which koma doesn't but you have to have gpg4win installed and running for that even to work.
    Don't forget to down bsfilterw.exe (or other) if you are running it in portable mode. I did not realize the exe was even missing til just now and thought it was working. Beta 5 review

    I still can't drag the total column. It stays stuck to the view pane and will disappear if the view pane is too close to the accts column.
    BTW, in portable mode DO NOT simply overwrite the theme files. If you do and try to use it in an envirinment without gtk, it may not display a legible font at all.

    Reviewing 3.1 Beta 1 (Jun 28, 2010)

    In this latest awesome version I tried to change the theme and it did not work for some reason. So I deleted all but the MS-Windows folder theme and copied the theme I chose in gtk (metal) (just the root file gtkrc) to the ms-windows one and it worked perfect.
    The only gripe is the total tab which is locked to the border it sits next to. If you pull the border too close to the folder tab, the total tab disappears. minor
    Using it in portable mode.
