No complicated filters, just one for Spam filtering (on a header field added by K9) and one to steer my TBUDL mail into a separate folder. These are both working fine with no lock-ups when triggered. I have tried disabling just in case but that didn't make any difference. Thanks for the suggestion though. By the way - the repair/re-install of The Bat! didn't make any difference. -- Regards, Bob Using The Bat! v3.5.30 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.5.25 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I'm a little reluctant to totally disable the AV as I have received several viruses (my first ever) in mail during the past few days. All have been the same nasty, identified as - HTML-Phishbank.UN I suppose though that if I have to try this then at least using The Bat! keeps me much safer than Outlook Express. Did you maybe just exclude TB's mail directory from the AV's on-access scanning? If so, maybe it helps to disable TB's temporary directory from the scanner, too. TB downloads all mail to a temporary directory and then imports it into its own messagebase. The path to exclude is in your user profile, the folder Local Settings\Temp. Thank you - I didn't know about this particular temporary directory (one more difference from my old 98SE) but did find that it was choked with a couple of hundred TMP files, so I have cleared that out as well - I seem to remember reading here some time back that an over abundance of these files could cause The Bat! to have problems. I'll try excluding this directory and the Bat! mail directories from AV scanning as the next step in searching for a solution. If that doesn't work I'll try totally disabling the AV for a bit.

I'd like to make clear that I didn't bring TBTECH up because I thought you were off-topic to TBUDL's mission; I thought that more knowledgeable people might read your posts and you might get more extensive help there. Although, there are a handful of regular users of Regular Expressions (pun intended :) ) who do read TBUDL, including the moderators. :) Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't quite get that. My Welcome message said TBTECH was for advanced users and I'm a beginner! :-) You may be a beginner with The Bat!, but your posts make you sound pretty knowledgeable to me so far as using computer software goes. :) TBTECh doesn't get as much traffic as TBUDL. I read all three TB! lists plus TBOT--it's become sort of a hobby to me. It isn't often that I see a question there go unanswered, even with the lighter traffic, so I'm hopeful you'll get some help.

Trash handling
Could someone please tell my how to get message deletion to work the way I want it to? When I delete a message from a folder, I want it to go to the Trash folder and sit there for several weeks in case I need to retrieve it. I've tried setting the various options in Account Properties, folder properties, and Trash folder properties, so that it looks as though it should work, but it doesn't. Messages deleted from a folder two or three days ago are not findable in the Trash folder. I get at least 100 messages per day, generally twice that; most are deleted. Several weeks ago I unchecked all my Trash folder properties options, which logically should make every deleted message stay there until I delete them by hand. This evening I have 122 deleted messages there, none older than July 9. There should be a few thousand. Any ideas what might be going on? Thanks in advance. -- Best, M-K Using The Bat! v3.5.30 on Windows 98 4.10 Build A Current version is 3.51 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Folder -- Watched By ??
For example, this group's messages are filtered to a folder called The Bat!. If I do a Properties on this folder, there is, at the bottom, a tab named Watched By .. Nowhere can I find any idea what to do with this tab. Perhaps it is something I would like to use but Help does not have it listed, even in search mode. Thanks -- Regards, Robert D. _ The Bat!

Re: Trash handling
Recently, Munango-Keewati squawked: Could someone please tell my how to get message deletion to work the way I want it to? Yes, indeed ... I discovered that you are right and it was happening to me. But I fixed it. Despite the Trash Folder's properties there is also a check-box in the Account's Properties|Options tab with the phrase Empty Trash Folder On Exit When I unChecked this, THEN when I quit The Bat! the emails remain inside the respective Account's Trash-Folder. So, my problem was created by me, I hadn't looked everywhere. Mind you, it is a bit ambiguous at times. So, I guess, the inner folder's Properties are usurped by those of the respective Account's properties? Yuh, I guess so. Anyway, this should help you. -- Bye Now, Robert D. _ The Bat!
