Read EMails out of other directorys
Hi, maybe my question is something stupid, but I found no information about this. EMails I just write and read online, so my account uses filter to sort the mail on topic into different directorys. Now I want to use The_Bat to get emails from the server onto my machine. How can I transfer emails out of other directory than the incomig one ? Thank you for your help.

Re: The buttons 'previous' and 'next'
Hello Allie and Roelof, Oh. This is likely the root of your problem. You're assuming all the folders are the same. I'm not *assuming*, all my folders ARE the same. BH What exactly do you mean by 'settings'? Thread by references, sort on created date, that kind of things, not to forget purging settings. OK. Yes, all my folders have the same settings. Each folder can be configured to sort message lists differently, depending on the folder view mode you configure the folder to use. Which I didn't learn how to do until yesterday. That was one of my questions, in the message with the subject View mode. As I haven't tried it out yet, my folders are still the same. So I guess my original question remains unanswered. -- Best regards, Britt Henrikson Using TB! 2.10.03 on Win2000 Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

This is one piece of untidiness that I hope will eventually be sorted out. For the time being, we have to get accustomed to that. :/ It seems to be 0 when I highlight the folder and then back to 2 when I unhighlight it.

I've been using it in a production environment for about 6 weeks and I'm still figuring out all the functions. Almost anything is possible if one doesn't mind digging through the list archives and seeing what other people have done. The existing documentation leaves a lot to be desired. I'll address the IMAP functionality and leave it to others to expand on a lot of the other things. Needless to say, the template and filter functionality, IMO, is its strong point. The key issues with regards to IMAP are: 1. Draft messages are put in the local outbox folder rather than the industry standard IMAP draft folder. For those that are used to using IMAP, we have found this to be a significant usability issue. 2. Synchronization of the IMAP folders is much slower than Outlook or Eudora. I am confident that this will be addressed in the near future. 3. There are some bugs in the latest public beta that requires some patience but again, these will be fixed. 4. Not IMAP but if you are expecting Outlook address book capabilities, the TB address book isn't quite there yet but it is getting close. Again, you can look at other peoples experience with the address book. Most of the feature list works as advertised. I think you will be extremely happy with TB if you have some patience and willing to put in the time to learn.

Ok. So long as you've looked, I'm happy to fill in the blanks. As with most things, you'll learn a lot about IMAP as you actually use it. Anyway - no offense taken at all. Good!! From what I have read - email on te IMAP server stays there unless I specifically say 'bring it here locally'. Or more commonly ... may I see what is there. Whatever you see is cached. I don't know if you've worked with virtual folders, but the IMAP folders are sort of like those. The similarity is that they display a representation of what's on the server. The difference is that the IMAP folder actually has a cache of what you've viewed. What will help is to browse your IMAP account in explorer. Go to your TB! mail directory and compare a POP3 to an IMAP account. The POP account will have a directory setup that reflects the folders in the POP account. Each folder has a message base. Look at the IMAP account and you'll see no directories. Only a bunch of files which are actually cached data files for each IMAP folder on the server. Then I have a phycical copy on my machine. You do have a physical copy if you've actually viewed the message or have done a full sync of message bodies. However, it's a cached copy and not a standard message base copy. To get copies in standard bases, you need to copy/move messages from the IMAP server to local TB! folders. Local TB! folders are either common folders, folders within POP accounts, or local Outbox, Inbox or Trash folders for your IMAP account if so configured in your IMAP account setup. All the refs I've found suggest this has to be done using PP3 still - which doesn't make sense to me. No. POP3 has nothing to do with IMAP. You don't use it at all when using the IMAP protocol. A: How do I get an actual copy of the email and, say, attachments on to my machine... Copy, move or filter the message to a common folder or a folder within a POP account. I've created a POP account for archiving mail. However, I could have depended on common folders. B: How do I know whether emails I look at using The Bat are actually on the server or on my machine? Once you're looking at messages using an IMAP folder, those messages are actually on the server and you're simply browsing and caching them pretty much as you do when browsing a website. However, unlike the website, you have control over what you browse. You can delete, copy, move messages as you please. C: I have many and several filters, auto-replies, groups, and other esoteric filter actions set up for clients' - is The Bat reliably processing these with IMAP mail? It would seem that this is so. At least at my end here. However, this sort of thing and the reliability of it depends on which IMAP server you use. I suggest testing and seeing how it goes. I use MDaemon's IMAP server. What makes TB! so good as an IMAP client is that all those features work in the main and more and more of them are being made to work. D: I really cannot find the answer to this anywhere at all... Well, hopefully, you've found it here. :) I cannot change email addresses for my 38 accounts, they are connected with web sites for clients and email newsletter software etc etc. Why would you wish to change those addresses. So, if I need to set up a new account to run as IMAP, how do I, for example, change [EMAIL PROTECTED] (currently POP3) to the same address as an IMAP account? You need to know if the server for that account supports IMAP. My server, MDaemon, supports both IMAP and POP3. Each account may be managed using either of the two protocols. The same applies to my e-mail account at work. I was accessing it using POP3, but recently created an IMAP account in TB! and it's working well with TB!. -- -=[ :Allie: ]=- List Moderator and fellow end-user PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com pgpDw4Ph5jiLI.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
