TB files
Where can I find a detailed description of what the various files which TB sprays around the hard disk actually do? Some, like the .TBB and .TBI, and also .ADR, are pretty obvious, but most others aren't. -- Regards, Günter mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat!

Implementing a 'Scoring system' with TB filters
Hello all, I'm xposting to TBBeta and TBUDL because not everyone is on both lists. Last Sunday, in TBUDL, George M. Menegakis expressed his wish for a Scoring System for TB in his mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and some others agreed it would be a nice feature to have in TB. I thought such a system could somewhat easily be implemented with a few filters taking advantage of the 'user parameters' in the Filter System. I tried and it didn't work. As I later found out there was a problem with the syntax for using parameters with the %Calc macro. Well, this has been corrected in the latest Beta released today (v3.72.07) and my 'proof of concept' for a scoring system now works. It's a simple example with two filter trees: Score Test for TEN Test for TWENTY See if Score = 10 See if Score = 20 Act on Score Act on Score = 10 Act on Score = 20 What this simple 'proof of concept' does is to see if the words TEN or TWENTY appear in the Subject of an incoming message and will add 10 to Score if either one appears. So, a message with only one of the words will get a score of 10 and if both appear the score will be 20. What the action filters do is 'Flag' the message if the score is = 10 and 'Mark as Parked and Read if score = 20. So, a message with only one of the words will be Flagged and one with both words will be Flagged, Parked and Read. I make use of the %Calc and %UserParams macros. 'Calc' is well described in TB's Help and what the 'UserParams' does is return the value of a user parameter. Its syntax is: %UserParameter(ParameterName). If you want to see more detail or even test this 'system', copy each of the filter trees included below and paste them in your Incoming Filters. TB!

They would not be needed either if in filter conditions 'user parameters' could also be checked for 'greater than' and 'less than' and not just for 'equal to' and 'not equal to'. **NOTE 2: If instead of taking actions in filters you wanted to use Score in Virtual Folders, you can make use of the 'Set Memo' action in filters to pass the score and then check Memo in your VF. REMEMBER: This will only work with v3.72.07 (and hopefully with newer ones). Enjoy! :) -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Hello MAU, snipped REMEMBER: This will only work with v3.72.07 (and hopefully with newer ones). ***NOTE 3: I didn't try Common filters because sub-filters may not work.

Renaming Inbox
Is it possible to rename the Inbox for each account? I like to use the folder tabs and I have several Inbox's and it would be nice to be able to rename to see which account they are associated with.
