Michael, Thanks for the input. I tested your batch file on my pc (created a blank main.mbx file and ran the batch), but it only renamed the file to .mbx The date was not added. Any thoughts?

Here is one I use to change the name every day at 11:59pm. It just sets it to that days date "02032004.mbx" You could also add a line at the end of it to automatically move it over to your NAS. "Move "%TODAY%.mbx \\NAS\Mail\storage" or something like that. Yes I'm aware that I COULD end up with a file in use problem trying to re-name it while its writing to the file, that hasn't happened yet. But if it does I'll just let it keep going and run the next day with two days of mail in it. :: --------BEGIN TODAY.BAT---------- @ECHO OFF FOR /F "TOKENS=2-4 DELIMS=/ " %%A IN ('DATE /T') DO (SET TODAY=%%A%%B%%C) rename main.mbx %TODAY%.mbx :: --------END TODAY.BAT---------- Michael Pierce -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Len Conrad Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 9:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] copy all >entered a local email address.
