If all you need is TLS, then you should be OK. I'm using roughly the
same vintage and I can connect to my gmail account using TLS. OTOH I
seem to remember some TLS problems with some earlier versions, so this
may or may not work out. My settings are:

SMTP:
secure to regular port (STARTTLS) : 587
Perform SMTP authentication: RFC 2554
Use settings of mail retrieval
Use POP before SMTP authentication

POP:
secure to dedicated port (TLS) : 995
authentication : regular

Other than that, try installing stunnel.

Z I installed v.2 on my laptop (Win98SE) a few days ago.  I had a 1.6x

It wasn't necessary to uninstall v1, you should have installed v2 on
top of it.
But next time you remove TB, do so via the software panel of the
configuration screen.

Z After setting up all the Accounts, somehow I ended up with an extra
Z yellow folder (I'll call it Folder 1A) at the end (of my Account
Z list) that is a duplicate of one of my accounts (Folder 1). I don't know
Z how it got there.  Both Folder 1 and 1A has the same name.

Is it listed outside your regular accounts?
In that case exit TB, browse to your mail directory and check for any
account.flx and account.flb files and move them to another location.
Whatever you do, don't delete them (you might want to undo this action
when the results are unsatisfactory) and don't remove the same files
from your account directories. Nor should you touch any of the other
account.* files.

Just report back after you've done this, please.

Create a new folder with TB

I don't know why these differences exist, but you can try two things:
exit TB
delete the messages.tbi files for the problem folders
(the messages.tbi file contains the index for the folder, when the
file is missing, TB creates a new one)
start TB and check whether everything is as it should be.

If it isn't right now.
Create a new folder.
Move all messages from one of your problem folders to your new folder
Compress the problem folder and see if there are any messages left
Continue to do so till it's empty.
Exit TB
Check whether the messages.tbb file for the problem folder is empty.
(The messages.tbb file for an empty folder is 4 kB, the messages.tbi

If it's not, check whether you can salvage something with a text

If it's empty, delete both files anyway.
Start TB and move the messages back from the new folder to their

Compress the new folder.

I read that you now connect using your DSL connection instead of
dial-up. This is the way you connect to the internet per se.

DSL = Digital Subscriber Line.

jan I changed outgoing port settings from 25 to 465, incoming from
jan 110 to 995, as instructed,

This has to do with SSL, which is a secure protocol. It actually has
nothing to do with whether you connect via dial-up or DSL. Change the
ports back to 110 and 25.

SSL = Secure Socket Layer.

In the main menu, go to Options / Network Administration. Your setting

GS as well as changing the 'connection' type to one of the 'TLS'

That has to do with the email provider, not the internet connection.

  That support seems baffled that there is no SSL setting
  in this version of TB (at least that I can
  find), which seems to be required in order for TB to work with
  ATT DSL.
 
 The fact that you do not have SSL may be the problem. Is the SSL the
 required connection type?

It is the problem.  Yes, it is a required connection type.
 
 You have obviously been a TB user for some time with 1.48e. It sounds
 like you have already looked in Account | Properties (Shft+Ctrl+P). I
 don't know if UI is still the same in v3, but under 'Transport' you
 should have a drop down list box for 'Connection'. If there is no
 'SSL' option is there a 'TLS' option?

Unfortunately, there is neither an SSL nor a TLS option there, not in TB 1.48e, 
anyway.   

 So if you do not have either as a connection option, I would upgrade.
 Anyhow it is about time.

Thanks for the try. 

While 1.48e has been doing everything I need and want it to till now, I don't 
at all mind upgrading -- assuming I get the upgrade to work with DSL

and 50K of archived messages, about 40% of which are business related and which 
I need.  I understand that I have to move everything to midway version that 
will act as interface between what I now have and more recent versions.  

As I said, I don't really need any more functionality than I already had in TB, 
and down want to get into problematic upgrades.  Anyone recommend a 
particularly stable  and bug free version?

Many thanks.

Mark,

 If all you need is TLS, then you should be OK. I'm using roughly the
 same vintage and I can connect to my gmail account using TLS. OTOH I
 seem to remember some TLS problems with some earlier versions, so this
 may or may not work out. My settings are:
 
 SMTP:
 secure to regular port (STARTTLS) : 587
 Perform SMTP authentication: RFC 2554
 Use settings of mail retrieval
 Use POP before SMTP authentication
 
 POP:
 secure to dedicated port (TLS) : 995
 authentication : regular

1.48.e doesn't have an option under SMTP or POP either for SSL or TLS.  Going 
to have to move closer up to the present.
 
 Other than that, try installing stunnel.

Will probably try Stunnel before moving up.  If I can get the old version to 
work via Stunnel, then that will probably indicate that a new version, 
incorporating TLS, will work.r

Roelof,

Thank you.  The web-based email I'm using won't quote any of your message, so 
I'm pasting a bit.

1.48e is rather an oldie. You should upgrade to 1.62, that's running
under the same license that you've got now and it's still available
for download at the Ritlabs site: 
http://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/download.php

I'll experiment with Stunnel first, then give 1.62 a try.

(*Something* has to work; can't take much more of this webmail.)

Thomas,

Thank you.

  DSL = Digital Subscriber Line.

Yes.

 jan I changed outgoing port settings from 25 to 465, incoming from
 jan 110 to 995, as instructed,
 
 This has to do with SSL, which is a secure protocol. It actually has
 nothing to do with whether you connect via dial-up or DSL. Change the
 ports back to 110 and 25.

ATT -- worldnet.att.net -- requires these port setting for DSL.  It also 
requires a secure connection through SSL. (I'm hoping, when I upgrade, that it 
will accept TLS
 
 SSL = Secure Socket Layer.

Yes.
 
 In the main menu, go to Options / Network Administration. Your setting
 shows Dial-Up, you need to switch it to LAN or manual connection.

Tried it.  Didn't work.  Thanks for the suggestion.

 You're probably correct on this as well as changing the 'connection'
 type to one of the 'TLS' options.
 
 1) Secure to dedicated port (TLS)
 
 2) Secure to regular port (STARTTLS)

Indeed, this might well work -- if 1.48e had a (TLS) or (STARTTLS) option.  It 
doesn''t though.  Ah, well.

 . . . If, in addition, his email provider also offers SSL, this has nothing 
 to do with whether he connects via dial-up or broadband.

Sadly, it does.  ATT insists upon it a secure connection for broadband, whereas 
they do not for dial-up.  It's an extra defense against spammers using their 
system, they say.

No, I wasn't.  I wish the answer were that simple.

 Possibly. They haven't replied since the original post, so your guess
 is as good as mine.

Current circumstances prevent me from answering as frequently as I would like, 
or in a more timely fashion.

Z how it got there.  Both Folder 1 and 1A has the same name.

 Is it listed outside your regular accounts?
 In that case exit TB, browse to your mail directory and check for any
 account.flx and account.flb files and move them to another location.
 .

 Just report back after you've done this, please.

 It cured the problem.  Thanks.

I just noticed that all my other Common folders are deleted from the
Account List. Luckily, there are only two Common folders -- $Known$
(Inbox-Known) and Trash. So I added those two. However, TB puts all new
folders at the bottom of the list. And I can't move $Known$ up to the
3rd position. So, I edited the AccOrder.cfg; and that seems to work.

But why the normal Ctrl+Shift+UpArrow does not work in this case???  [It
works for the common folder Trash.]

My last problem is creating the sub-folders under $known$.  Usually, the
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+L would recover lost sub-folders.  But when I put my
cursor on the $Known$, and try to recover lost sub-folders, TB
recovers ALL Accounts and their sub-folders -- i.e. I get a duplicate
of everything.

Is there a way to recover the sub-folders of $Known$ ONLY?  If yes,
how?

 This works in that the Integrity check shows the smaller message

I forgot to mention that when I move messages from the problem folder to
the new folder, TB asks me whether I want to move the parked messages;
and I click on Yes.  However, when I move the messages from the new
folder back to the old folder, it didn't ask me that question about
parked messages.  And I found the Park markings are all gone in that
