temp sync
Hi folks, I am using TB! with an IMAP server and since some versions it is running ok. There is still one issue left: I am reading some newsgroups which I want to sort grouped. This only works when I set the newsgroup folder to full sync but I have turned that off to save *much* time... So in short terms: Is it possible to write a macro which: - turns sync on (to full sync) - syncs the wanted folder - turn sync off (for that folder) Thanks Michael -- Call A CD - Ihr persönlicher Downloadservice und CD-Shop Im Web: www.callacd.com Per Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 3.65.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re[2]: mail retrieval question
Thanks Ian; There are a large number of messages but I want them all. My hard drive crashed and it was several days before I could get a new one installed so my mail was just collecting. When I put TheBat back to Collect mail every half hour it seemed to download the same ones over and over because it never sent the final whatever it needs for the server to not send them again. It is really boring to sit and babysit an email program for hours just to clear your mail box. :) I was hopeful that as versitile as TheBat is that there would be a way to automate this. That way I could just set it up before I go to work and it would be done the next time I had a chance to work with my machine.

JG Thanks, JG Jean I don't know if that can be done, but if you are having problems simply because you have a large number of messages in your inbox, you could use the dispatcher and uncheck the messages you want to bring in on the next check. Just remember to uncheck the delete check box as well otherwise the messages will not be downloaded but deleted as well.

Mails that have already been downloaded already will now not be downloaded again. Once you have all mails, delete all with the Despatcher.

TB counts the days from successful retrieval, not from receipt on the server. This way, you don't need to worry about deleting them later. One remark: This is an old bug which was fixed some time ago. Even when the account is set to delete messages from server, TB should not re-download already retrieved messages. Seems like this bug has resurfaced. I cannot verify it any more, because my internet connection is unfortunately (?) stable. -- Cheers, Thomas.

Re: mail retrieval question
Hello Dwight, Monday, February 20, 2006, 8:44:50 AM, you wrote: so take off the every 1/2 hour setting, collect all the mail, and put it back No, what he's getting at, I think, is that some message is causing a problem and TB never sends the end session so that the server can delete the downloaded messages. Therefore, it just keeps downloading the same ones over and over. If this is the case, I would look at the log to see if it's failing on the same message. If so, go into Message Dispatcher and delete it directly from the server and then try to download your mail as normal again. However, if you've set your options to check mail every 30 minutes and it's actually taking longer than 30 minutes to pull down the messages, I'm not sure what would happen when the mailcheck kicks in again while it's still downloading from the first session. At this point, I would do what Dwight mentioned. -- TBUDL/BETA/DEV/TECH Lists Moderator / PGP 0x6C0AB16B __ Geocaching:http://gps.PCWize.com ( ) ( ___)(_ _)( ___) TBUDP Wiki Site: http://www.PCWize.com/thebat/tbudp )(__ )__) _)(_ )__) Roguemoticons Smileys:http://PCWize.com/thebat ()()()(__)PHP Tutorials and snippets:http://www.DevTek.org Someone stole my computer terminal, said Tom disconsolately.
