Folder deletion and restoration
Hi: I have deleted several folder from my message base but chose the option to Keep the message base files intact. I want some of these back in my folder structure, but cannot find a way to accomplish this. SHIFT+ALT+CTRL+L does not accomplish this. I am sure it is something obvious that I am overlooking.

Re: Problem with Spam Filter
On Tue, 10 Jun 2008 11:25:06 +0200, Roelof Otten [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, you do that with selective download filters, those download the message headers and can kill the message from server before the full message will be downloaded. However, I've never used them myself as they lengthen the download time substantially, because the message headers will be downloaded twice, once to compare them with the selective download filters and a second time when the complete message is downloaded. With my message mix (lots of short messages) that isn't worth the trouble. Furthermore I don't kill on arrival and that's the only useful action for selective download filters. Fair enough. If someone had a dial up Internet connection and had lots of big spam messages come through, it sounds like this approach might be tailor made for them. 'Delete the message', that's the action listed right above 'Delete from server' My server does my spam marking, it adds a spam header and I've set TB to move those messages to a spam folder and mark them as read (you know that you can set multiple actions to a single filter, don't you) so I won't see it unless I'm browsing my spam folder to check for false spam marks. So that could be an option for you too. Thanks - most of my spam is unknown, but this particular address is nothing but, so I can safely set it to 'delete the message'. I can use the other approach for the spam (unknown) filter though. The blank lie isn't necessary, but it's supposed to consist of dash dash space on a single line, but as you aren't using TB on the list I can't comment on how to achieve that. Thanks - I'm using Agent via gmane. I've updated the signature block in the Agent options. Yes. Cool - I think different programs must adhere to a different standard. I've seen newsreader programs which work fine with the '--' (without space), but The Bat needs the space by the looks of it. Oh well, no problem. -- Regards, GG Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Strange things with TB
I still use the Bat V1.53 which works well. Yesterday something strange happened. 1) Old messages in the Outbox were suddenly sent (with no action from me) to the recipients in several copies, with a copy to myself. 2) No messages in Inbox, Outbox or Sent can be deleted even if I unparked the messages. 3) Each message I send are sent several times as it stays in the Outbox even when sent. 4) On despatching messages from the server, I cannot delete messages even if they are ticked for deletion 5) A copy of emails I send are no longer stored in the Sent folder Any explanation for all these?

Lost folders
Hello, I was trying to move a sub-folder out of the folder it was in into another folder. I was doing this by clicking on the sub-folder and then using the CTRL + arrow key to move it. It turns out there is a bug with this version of TB so that when the folder being moved reaches its parent folder, the selected item gets switched to the parent folder and that folder gets moved. So instead of moving a sub-folder, the whole main folder gets moved. I didn't realize this had happened and when I saw the sub-folder hadn't moved, I tried it again, not realizing it was in a different location already. The same thing happened but now the main folder was buried in a different folder, due to having done it twice. The end result is that the original main folder that should not have been changed at all had disappeared. If I look at the actual disk structure, using a file manager, I can see the missing folder but it doesn't show up in TB. I tried using SHIFT+CTRL_ALT_L but it said nothing found. I tried creating a new folder and copied all of the files from the missing folder to it (using a file manager) but that new folder was still empty. I tried deleting the TBI file for it but the sub-folders would still not appear. I contacted TB support and was told if SHIFT+CTRL_ALT_L doesn't work I must be doing something wrong, so there's no help there. It was suggested that I add a new folder, create a sub-folder and then use the message import menu item to read in the messages from the lost folders. That worked. I had went through about 20 of the lost 200 or so sub-folders when I thought I should restart TB to make sure the messages were being read correctly. When I did that, the new folder was no longer present. I restored TB's directory to a different location from a daily disk backup I do and then copied over the missing folder and its contents. Still didn't show up. It appears there is a main index file that has become corrupted. What a mess! So the bottom line is that I have a missing folder with thousands of messages that I use for my bossiness that I can't get to. Please tell me there is a way to fix this.

R I hope it is that easy but please don't shoot the messenger if it R isn't :( Not at all. I'm desperate and appreciate any help I can get. :) The folder is buried in another. I can see it by looking at the disk structure. However, I can't see it from within TB. And if I try to create a new folder with the same name as the missing one, a popup says that the name is already in use. I've found that if I added the missing sub-folders and then copy the TB files, instead of importing them, that the new folder will be remembered. So I can use this method, even though it will take, almost, forever. But when I am done, I'm not sure if I can just rename it to the original. It might end up deleting the contents and I'll have to start over. -- Jack Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The first thing that comes to mind would be some interaction with your virus scanner. Shut down your virus scanner (if you're using any) Purge and compress all folders, I'm a bit rusty on 1.53, so I don't know whether you can select this for all folders (from the folder menu) or only on a per folder base.

IMAP (was The Bat! in server mode?)
Hi All, Firstly I would like to thank all the people who responded to my original query. Looks as though in order to set up a networked multi-user TB! configuration I going to have to use IMAP. I've already done the research for the server side, but now I need information for the client side. Can I still use TB! as the client. I've been a TB! user since version 1.x (maybe early 2.x) and consider it the best POP client available, but I do remember a few threads on this list years ago discussing its IMAP limitations. And when I say a few years ago it may of been 4 or 5 years ago. Has Ritlabs dealt with these issues? I would rather not recommend switching over to another client. -- Best regards, NickOhare Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Strange things with TB
Hi Roelof, Thank you for your reply. I would prefer not to purge my emails by date as there may be some important ones. I prefer to delete them individually, but they can't. I am also getting out of memory or out of bounds messages. Does V4 have a bigger database for messages (inbox). If so itwould be simpler for me to upgrade delete the messages after.
