However, what you can do is copy the filter(s) into Notepad and paste them into the other account. Create a new blank text document in Notepad Open account with filters you want to copy (Account / Sorting Office - Filters) 1 Click to highlight a filter to copy. 2 Ctrl-C (copy) 3 Switch to Notepad then 4 Ctl-V (paste) Click back into the filters dialog and repeat steps 1 - 4 until you have all filters in Notepad. When you have finished, copy all the contents of the Notepad document (Ctrl-A followed by Ctrl-C) Now, go to the new account where you want the filters imported. Open the filters dialog (Account / Sorting Office - Filters) Right- Click the appropriate filter group (incoming, outgoing etc). Choose Paste. All your filters will go in! This method is also useful for manual editing where one thing changes such as an e-mail address. Instead of going through each filter in turn, edit the Notepad document with search and replace, then import it in.

JBL Every couple JBL of months, I restore the laptop (which uses Xray to manage SMTP JBL connections) from a backup of the Desktop installation and re-set up JBL the accounts. So, the account settings aren't getting preserved in the backup -- the backup which you're restoring on the laptop? Xray sounds interesting -- I'm assuming it's an SMTP server of some sort which you're running locally. If that's the case, I should get more info on it as that's going to be my next challenge.

Sawczyn, [SMS] wrote: AM Another way to do the regular synchronisation would be to backup the AM mail folder on the laptop each day and restore it to the desktop. If you AM do any major changes like creating a new account, then do the AM synchronisation. SMS Would this capture filters, Yes. SMS views, I doubt this. Views and window configuration are settings stored in the registry. If you're using TB! on separates systems you may very well not wish to synchronise that part of things anyway since optimal window size and fonts would depend on screen size and display resolution. SMS addressbooks, etc...? If your address books are in the default location, then yes. Templates, account settings, mail and address books are all stored in the mail folder by default. SMS I'm not very familiar with where TB keeps those files -- I'm coming SMS from Outlook and Outlook Express which scatter files everywhere SMS making it nearly impossible to do what you're describing. Though TB!, by default, keeps all these together, you can store your address books anywhere you like. You may also store your main mail folder or an accounts data or a particular folders mail in a specific location of your choice. SMS I'd thought of this, but wouldn't it make accessing messages SMS time-consuming? I was thinking of using those little USB drives, SMS the ones which can fit on a keychain and hold 128 MB or so. Yes. The message base access time may be slower, but it's all give and take. I once managed all my mail across my network on another machine. I moved my mail folder to the other machine soon after a hard disk failure on my working machine. I was surprised how well it worked considering. Initial opening of a folder containing more than 10,000 messages was distinctly slower but that was about it. SMS Obviously, I'd have to keep the mail within that size, but then I SMS could just plug the folder in either at home or at work. Also, in SMS theory, this setup offers a degree of extra security as the mail is SMS physically in my pocket and not on a machine somewhere. Yes SMS Again, as mentioned above, I'm not sure about addressbooks, SMS filters, views, ... View configuration would be the only thing that wouldn't be on the disk. SMS Definitely a good suggestion, my only concern would be the ability to SMS filter messages via Imap? I couldn't set up filtering at work -- SMS they're using Exchange and as far as I know, the filtering will only SMS work via Outlook. Still, maybe, hopefully, I'm wrong? Wait for v2 of TB! and see. The IMAP support will be much better then. - -- -= allie_M =- | List Moderator _ -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP SDK 3.0.2 iQA/AwUBPy2+TlfJ62ArBxfiEQLWLQCgzFvkBb/TczR/vaKiVT7+XY5culoAmgK2 aEhsmFweiTFN4w8ANLH0hOtB =X1Xc -END PGP SIGNATURE- Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I don't have the URL to hand, so you'll have to search for it. Further to my last comment, I have done some further web searching and experimentation and discovered a few 3rd party apps that make windows transparent: * Actual Transparent Windows ($19.95) - http://www.actualtools.com/transparentwindows/ * Froost (freeware) - http://www.ishiboo.com/~nirva/Projects/froost/ * Glass2K (beta v 0.9.2) (freeware) - http://www.chime.tv/products/glass2k.shtml * Powermenu (freeware) - http://www.veridicus.com/tummy/programming/powermenu/ * Trans2K ($2.95) - http://www.545studios.com/products.php?id=11 * Transparent Windows ($19.95) - http://www.nccsoft.net/ * Transperizer v0.5 (freeware) - ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/winsite/win95/miscutil/transperizer.exe Of these, I could make Actual Transparent Windows, Froost, Transparent Windows and Transperizer recognise the Message Ticker. ATW, Froost and Transperizer allow you to set different levels of transparency for different windows. The Transparent Windows appears just to have a single global level of transparency that is either on or off for individual windows. If you are prepared to pay $19.95, ATW appears to be the most stable and functional application, and pretty reasonable value for money. Of the freeware applications, Transperizer appears more stable, although both are a bit clumsy to use. Note that I could find both v0.4.4 and v0.5 of Transperizer on the net. The homepage for it (http://win2k.davet.net) does not appear to be available.
