Re: Security when upgrading
Hello, MFPA; Monday, September 14, 2009, 8:08:36 PM, you wrote: which didn't seem to happen (as I recall it). And, TB isn't now encrypted. I believe you have to do a completely fresh install and tell it to use OTFE during the installation. sigh I hate to have to uninstall/reinstall all over again... but if I have to. OTOH I do use passwords on both the admin and user accounts now, so have at least one layer in place already. It sounds that way but I'm sure I have seen people suggest on this list to back up an encrypted message base, uninstall TB!, install TB! a-fresh without opting to use OTFE, then restore from the backup to get back to a non-encrypted messagebase. I cannot currently remember It's nice to have a way of recovering a message base, but I'm ambivalent about the security issue. [continuing off-topic] By the way, I only found your posting by accident because your from address begins postmaster@ and (for the messages I receive) that usually means it will be a delivery failure report, often for spam that somebody sent spoofing one of my addresses. Maybe it would be worth considering whether sending out from that address is causing others to miss some of your mail. Just a thought. (-; This is a good point. I set it that way before I was as used to TB!, or even e-mail I suppose. But again, it's a chore to do over. -- Thanks, Robert Bull mailto:theb...@theluminousvoid.plus.com Using The Bat! v4.2.9.1 on Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6001 Service Pack 1 Current version is 4.2.10.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Automatic backup that includes password protected account?
Hi, I recently had very helpful advice setting up an Archive account for messages I'd like to keep, but don't need constant access to. What I noticed is that this account is not included in the daily automatic backup, unless it is open (I'm signed in) at the time of the backup, even though it's set to backup all accounts. Is this normal behavior, and if yes, how can I include this account (new messages are added to it pretty much daily). -- Best regards, Susannemailto:sisk...@gmail.com Using The Bat! 4.2.6 OS: Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 4.2.10.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Error: Could not export message
Once again, I'm helping my friend with The Bat! on her new computer. Her tech guy got it up and running, but she's having a problem sending mail from one of her accounts. She has a personal account with one provider and a work account with the university's server. She has been using her personal account provider's SMTP server to send mail for both accounts when using her home computer. On her old computer, it worked fine that way. Now, with the new installation of The Bat! (version 4.2.10.1, Windows Vista), she gets an error message Could not export message whenever she tries to send mail from her personal account. She has no trouble sending mail from her work account through the exact same SMTP server. This happens with all email from this account, regardless of whether or not there's an attachment. She's not using IMAP. Everything is correct in her Account Properties as far as I can tell. I've reached the limit of my expertise here. Any suggestions?
