 I do not have any opinion, but just afraid about spyware and trojans or

 during install, and worms and trojans during using it, and for recipients of

 Incredimail !

 In 2 words : is it dangerous using Incredimail, for the User himself, and for 
 his friends
 (recipients) ?

I've installed Incredimail for my Kids to use and I've not had any problems 
with Spyware etc.  Incredimail is OK if you like pretty backgrounds, typewriter 
sound effects while you're typing and so on, but it hasn't got anywhere near 
the raw power of TB.

 Does that do it?

Aha!  Success!   Many  Thanks.I hadn't thought of virtual
folders  having  account  properties.   And  separate  templates for virtual

 I want something to sit between The Bat and the various POP servers
 that will identify as best it can, any Spam and let it through to me
 marked as such so I can filter it and check it once in a while for
 mis-categorized spam.

 After a short training period, I've had very good results with POPFile
 (http://popfile.sourceforge.net/).

I second that. My installation of POPFile is currently running at a
whisper short of 99% accuracy. It's quite a shock these days when I
actually get a spam message in my regular mail.

The great thing about POPFile is that you can set up any number of
categories - not just spam and ham - and use it for general mail
classification. It adds a custom header or a tag to the subject (or
both if you so desire) so it's a piece of cake to filter in The Bat -
or any other POP3 e-mail client for that matter.

As an experiment I've been running BayesIt and POPFile side-by-side
and POPFile always catches spams that BayesIt misses

The one downside is the POPFile, as its name suggests, can only handle
POP3 accounts.  IMAP support is on the agenda but it isn't expected
anytime soon.

Re: Account Tree and scroll bar

 Hello,

 Just come across a very small but totally repeatable bug.

 Select View/Toolbars/Configuration and all works fine. However, remove
 the Configuration toolbar and the Account tree scroll bar refuses to
 work. It's still possible to run across the visible folders with the
 mouse but not possible to scroll further up or down to the top or bottom
 of the account folders.

Same thing happens with me too.  It is possible to scroll down the
tree by using single clicks on the down arrow, but it doesn't scroll
at all smoothly. Clicking on the up arrow simply selects the top
folder currently in view.

 Only a closedown and restart clears it.

I found that re-enabling the configuration bar clears the problem

Re: Strange preview pane behavior

 Upgraded to 2.10 the other day and have noticed some different
 behaviour while scrolling through long messages in the preview pane.

snip

 if I attempt to click a link or select some
 text, the message in that window moves back up to the beginning of the
 message and text is selected from the point where I tried to click in
 the message back up to the bottom line that's now displayed in the
 preview pane.

I'm having the same problem (I also have an MX500)  I have found that
it only occurs the first time that I click within the preview pane.
After that everything works as it should. When I change to a different
message in the same folder (or a different one) the problem happens
again the first time I click somewhere in the preview.

 Well, you asked about VF-filtering on something in a msg (header).

 At the moment, I don't understand what you mean with 'Sender filer'

Sorry, that was a rhetorical question based on my (false) assumption
that Message Source is where the message originated.  If that was the
case, it would be redundant because there is an option to filter on
Sender.  Your previous reply answered my query perfectly - many
thanks. Thanks too to Miguel and Allie who took the trouble to reply.

 You can group messages into the virtual folder by any filter you
   choose. 

One thing that seems to be missing in the filters for virtual folders
is you can't filter on a string.  I use POPFile to classify my mail
and after it was explained what virtual folders are (thanks all those
who replied) I thought I could set-up a VF for each of POPFile's
buckets. When I started looking into it I realized that you can't
filter on POPFile's classification header.

I know I could work around this, for example assigning a colour group
to each bucket and filtering on that or by using POPFile's subject
modification facility.  I think, however, that being able to search
for a string in any of the headers or the body would be useful.

 Yes. And global across all accounts would be a useful option for other
 account settings also. TB! is already so flexible and wonderful, but
 it could definitely be made more so.

Closely related to this, I feel it would be useful when creating a new
account to have the option of basing it on an existing account rather
than having to start from scratch each time.

Vitual Folders

Hi All

I have just downloaded v2.1 and I see that it now has support for virtual folders - 
Great!

erm... forgive me if I seem ignorant, but what are virtual folders,
and how can I use them to enrich my life?  The web site and help file
are strangely quiet on the subject.

Seems to work OK, but thenI hadn't noticed a problem with the previous version. I

dh I for myself use POPFile, which uses the same approach (Bayesian)

 I also used POPFile for quite a while, and I was very impressed with its
 performance.  What stopped me using it was the proliferation of
 virus-laden emails around September last year.

 I was running AVG with th TB! plugin and that was popping up a message
 for each nasty email, but also POPFile was storing the messages in its
 own database and AVG was constantly finding them in there and alerting
 me - both when it originally arrived and sometimes later also.

I've simply turned off Confirmation and Ask What to Do Next in the
AVG Control Centre and virus laden emails are quietly sent to the
quarantine folder without bothering me at all.

Now all I've got to do is find a way of getting TB to automatically
mark quarantined messages as Read.
