Hello Zimoo,

 I create a Common Folder, named as Archive.
 Could I set an Access Password for the Common Folder ?

No you can't. But you can always define a pseudo account to be used as
your archive and set an access password to that account.

work very well. It doesn't catch all spam but I'd say about 90%, and
it is very easy to setup.

On a semi-related note, does anyone know if it's possible to setup a

No. This isn't possible. It will likely be possible in later

TF It's a little tedious to have to setup the spam filter on all seven
TF of my accounts.

With regards to spam filtering, it's best to place the spam filters
at the bottom of the incoming filters list. In this way, TB!
checks messages last with the spam filters.

If you used a global filter, how would TB! know where to apply the
filter. In fact, it may very well apply global filters first.

I do have a few filters that could be applied globally. However,
I wouldn't do so with my spam filter since it's position in the
filter list is important.

Hm. I would think in each account you give each global filter a
position (or not, if you don't want the filter to be applied to that
account). In a central location, maybe under QuickTemplates, you
update/maintain the global filters centrally, and each update of
course applies to each account in which this global filter is in the
filter list, and exactly at the position in the order of filters where
the global filter is mentioned.

Am I making sense?

You seem to be describing a sort of like 'common filter' system
dialog.

You define your common filters in this dialog. You then add them as
needed to your various accounts. If you need to make a change to a
common filter, it would then propagate to all the accounts where the
filter is added.

This system would be easier than the current one, only in so far as
updating or changing the filter is concerned, wouldn't it? You still
have to go to each account and add it, the same as copy and pasting
in the current system.

Global filters really should be just a matter of creating the filter
and whammo, it works on all accounts. No need to be adding them to
each account. If you need anything other than this, then go the
currently implemented method of copying and pasting the filter to
the accounts which you wish the filter to be applied.

That's a very good suggestion. I'm planning on setting up the same
thing on my work computer.

As a side note, I originally set up my archive folders within each
account (in a folder separate from the Inbox), but it really slowed
down opening and closing The Bat, even with compression. I found that
moving these archive folders to a dummy account *really* sped things
up.

Scroll Bar Disappears Occasionally

2003-02-23 Thread Kim
Hi all,

I've noticed that from time to time, in a message long enough to need
a scroll bar, there isn't one. At other times the scroll bar is there
(the one on the right side of the screen). When it isn't there, I have
to use the mouse and force the cursor to the top of the message so
that I can view it.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Yes, I know but:

My point is that every time someone asks how to make all message
list columns look the same, we have to start off by saying, 'I'm
afraid that you'll have to first go through all folders you wish to
have the same setting and toggle on the switch 'Use account default
column settings' ' The user with a lot of folders is never
really pleased to hear this, even though they don't have to do it
again.

With your model, for each filter, I'd have to go to each account I
wish to add it and then place the filter etc. Not much different
from the current method of initial setup. I know that subsequent
modification of the filter would be made easier.

A 'paste-linked' (name just invented g) option would do what you
want. In this way the pasted filter copy would be linked to the
original and vice/versa. Modifying one filter would then modify the
other. A flag of sorts could be used to indicate that a particular
filter is linked to a copy in other accounts.

TF Please explain how this should work. Let's say under Options I have
TF a menu item Global filters, and I create a filter there. What
TF would it do?

It would be applied to all accounts. It could be set to be applied
before or after all other filters have been run.

I just created a filter that I wanted global. I created one that
would move messages containing a particular string to a particular
common folder. I want it run on all accounts. I had to copy it to
each accounts incoming filter set. It would have been nice to just
create the filter as a global one and that's it. No having to open
other accounts and adding it.

TF Could I except accounts from this filter or from all global filters,
TF like I can with check all?

Yes, this would be necessary. However, I dislike the concept of
still having to go to each account and inserting what's supposed to
be a global filter. It's not really global then .. more common.

 If you need anything other than this, then go the currently
 implemented method of copying and pasting the filter to the accounts
 which you wish the filter to be applied.

TF This is what I am doing, and it is troublesome to have to add the

Exactly. It's not nice having to do it when it isn't necessary.

 list columns look the same, we have to start off by saying, 'I'm
 afraid that you'll have to first go through all folders

I agree with you here, but while it is not unusual for people to have
100 folders, I cannot see why anyone would have 100 accounts.

 With your model, for each filter, I'd have to go to each account I
 wish to add it and then place the filter etc. Not much different
 from the current method of initial setup. I know that subsequent
 modification of the filter would be made easier.

The subsequent modification is my point, yes.

 A 'paste-linked' (name just invented g) option would do what you
 want.

Yes, but I would find a central location, like for QTs, better. Matter
of taste, maybe.

TF Please explain how this should work. Let's say under Options I have
TF a menu item Global filters, and I create a filter there. What
TF would it do?

 I just created a filter that I wanted global. I created one that
 would move messages containing a particular string to a particular
 common folder. I want it run on all accounts. I had to copy it to
 each accounts incoming filter set. It would have been nice to just
 create the filter as a global one and that's it. No having to open
 other accounts and adding it.

I see your point, too.

TF Could I except accounts from this filter or from all global filters,
TF like I can with check all?

 Yes, this would be necessary.

This would make it complicated. For each global filter, there would
have to be an option in each account to not apply it. Then, in some
accounts, I would it applied at the top, in others at the bottom, and
again in others somehwere in between.

 However, I dislike the concept of still having to go to each account
 and inserting what's supposed to be a global filter. It's not really
 global then .. more common.

The difference between our concepts is just the default setting. In my
version, the default is do not apply, and you have to set apply in
the accounts were it should be applied. In your version, it is applied
in all accounts, and you would have to set do not apply were it
shouldn't be.

TF This is what I am doing, and it is troublesome to have to add the
TF same address as an alternative filter string to several filters
TF across various accounts.

 Exactly. It's not nice having to do it when it isn't necessary.

We agree on this one?

POPFile Problem

2003-02-23 Thread Robert C Wittig

I setup POPFile yesterday, and the process went fine, and I began filtering mail with 
no incident.

The logon parameters I set in The Bat, were:

Mail Server: 127.0.0.1
User: [mydomain.com]:[my_username]

This configuration worked perfectly yesterday, but this morning when I
started up my computer, and POPFile, I got an error: 

-connected to POP3 server
-server reports error The response is: -ERR

When I set my configuration back to its original settings it worked
fine. I confirmed that POPFile was running, and tried fiddling with
the parameters in POPFile and in the Bat, but nothing seemed to work

The user interface was up and running, as was the Perl console that
appears, when POPFfile is running.

I already posted a query to my website/ email host, and to the
Sourceforge POPFile Forum, but figured the fix might be in The Bat, so
I am risking a cross-post, here.

the think that has me most puzzled, is that it ran great yesterday,
but today, with nothing changed, it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

SOT: %abtohandle and others with Outlook (2002)

2003-02-23 Thread Daniel Maier

Hallo,

after using The Bat! for some time, I realized that it just doesn't fit
my needs, in particular its PIM capabilities are too weak. But what I
like very much about The Bat! is its template handling. Now I'm looking
for a way to simulate %abtohandle and other variables which refer to the
recipient's address book entry in Outlook (2002). The problem is that
the Outlook (VBA) Object Model doesn't know something like %abtohandle,
as for as I know. Has anyone tried to program such a thing with VBA? I'd
be glad for any help or ressource available.

MDP Each synch must be based upon the current state of the mailbase on

MDP beyond that of the last know synch point before the next synch is

MDP TB to SecureBat, use it awhile, synch back to TB (new beta), use it
MDP awhile, etc. At each synch, the base synch point is moved. A full

I set up this same filter about a year ago. Anything that it

few weeks.

This one filter alone reduced the amount of spam I get by
well over 70%. Another 25% is picked up by other manually
set-up filters and the rest takes little time to delete
manually.

P.S. I also have several filters before the To filter that

Yes. The important thing with using filtering is getting them in the
right order in the Sorting Office.  Where I have to kill whole domains
I usually send them to my Zpam folder (I have my folders in alphabetic
order, so it makes it the bottom folder). And things like filters for
this group are right at the top so the Blank or not me To: filter
only catches ones that aren't filtered previously.  And they are
invariably spam as I usually have a quick check in the Trash before I
flush it. ;-)

 Hi,
 Does TB have the capacity to create a filter that will check for the
 filter conditions and if met delete the message from server. Or at
 least delete the message without moving it to Trash. I remember
 when I was using OE in my Novice days it had this choice.

Yes, when you create your filter (Account, Sorting Office), you see a row
of tabs, the one with Actions on it is the one you want.  Select that,
and then read through the list.  There is an option to delete mail from
server.

Yes. Go to Account / Sorting Office / Selective Download / New... and
try the Kill option under the Advanced tab.

However, I don't use this, for two reasons:

1.) TB will download all headers to see if an Selective Download
filter string is met, even if there is only one such filter, before
downloading the messages. If you have a fast connection, this will be
irrelevant for you though.

2.) A message killed on (i.e. deleted from) the server is gone. If
there is a mistake in your filtering string, you will never know.
Therefore, if you download all messages and put those meeting the
filter criteria into a special folder which you can review at a later
time, you might catch false positives.
