With .tbk you include preferences and registration info (stuff that's stored in the registry, not on disk) Also restoring the address book compresses it (deleting entries from the AB means that they're marked as deleted, they'll stay in the file, but when you backup they won't be included.) Disadvantage is that you can only restore to the same path and that .tbk currently doesn't copy the upload manager and address history yet.

No way to purge unread messages in common folder
Hello, My Gmail account pulls in messages for the beta list for TheBat! Message count is over 5,000 and I have it set to keep *only* 300 messages. The messages are sorted and placed in a common folder: Lists TheBat! Beta The folder settings for Beta are set to Max stored messages = 300, and I even tried max keep messages = 30 days. But nothing will get rid of them if they are unread. For my Gmail account, I have checked the box that says Purge unread messages Is this a bug? -- Doug mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** TheBat!

For DH my Gmail account, I have checked the box that says Purge unread messages Unfortunately you can't set 'purge unread messages' for common folders, it's not in their 'account properties'. The settings of the original account have no meaning for the common folder, as the messages aren't associated anymore with that account.

Disadvantage is that you can only restore to the same path Right now my TB installation is the default one with the mail directory under application data on the default drive. So assuming I had to do a reinstall and chose the default set up, TBK import should work fine. On the other hand, you say that if i were to put my mail directory on a separate drive when doing a new installation, an import via tbk would fail? -- Tom using TheBat! 3.99.29 on XP Current version is 4.0.0.22 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Yes. Unless it has been changed and I didn't notice that. thanks for that - in that case I better write down the exact path to have the option to match it in future. I notice that each time when I do a new installation there may be slight variations as to which account name I use for XP. If my pc dies, I am not sure if I could remember the full path correctly.
