Re: Slimming Down the database / Archiving

All these older messages are now combined in subfolders under Archive XXX and having this Account stored on a separate drive, does indeed reduce the size used for my main OS and any twice-weekly backups. The size for the TBK complete backup file has reduced from 16.2 gb to 5.8 gb. The benefit of the password protection of the account compared to my original idea of just moving the actual folders somewhere else is that I can now still open the archive easily and check on something if necessary. Based on my experience that the minute you clear out something, you will need it, this is quite a nice benefit. The only drawback I found was that moving messages was a bit more involved than using cut/paste of some folders. Thanks Chris and Thomas for the suggestion. Cheers Tom- Tom using TheBat! 8.8.9 on XP just an update - since I archived my emails I had to check on something archived and it worked fine. However today I am unable to find the "account" that his now holding these emails? The database is still in its location on my external drive but the easy way to check an email is not possible if I cannot find the account. Any idea why this is now hidden and how to look for it - any trick to "unhide this" without having to create a new account and then link the storage to the archive I previously created? -- Tom using TheBat! 8.8.9 on XP Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Looks like the mailing list is playing up. I don't see any mails (until today) with dates after August 14. I thought the list was just quiet, but ...

Hello Ian, > Are there any tips I need to know to make it a smooth transition? On Aug. 24th I started a thread in TBbeta with Subject "How to install/uninstall V10 flawlessly" The answers I received discouraged me from upgrading. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Re: Upgrading to version 10
There are two versions, one with and one without autoupdate. Whichever one you use, it overwrites everything in "program files\The Bat". If you use the version WITHOUT autoupdate, it is no different than upgrading from previous versions. But the one with autoupdate installs files in an "AppData" directory of whichever Windows user you login with rather than a subdirectory of" Program Files" It took some fiddling to get Version 9 and Version 10 installed simultaneously, but there is a very useful REG option for the command line in the shortcut of Version 10. I actually decided on the Version 10 without autoupdate and installed it in the usual "program files" directory. It is not difficult to use "run as administrator".
