Re: The Bat/ZoneAlarm quirks.
Hello Julian, A couple of questions come to mind with periodical checking: [...] 4. In anyone experiencing problems with periodical checking with a permanent connection (such as a network connection or DSL)? No problem here, whichever version of ZA or TB. Running XP Pro in a network-environment (DHCP [yes or no, doesn't matter]; Router etc). Greetings, Alexander Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Scenario: is that possible?
Hello everybody, I didn't find an answer to my question, therefore forgive me if it has been answered already. This is gonna be a little bit longer: Lets say I have a Unix-Server (very basic), a WinXP desktop on which TB! is running and a laptop that also has TB! running. The desktop, though, is the one that fetches and then stores the mails locally (in TB!, obviously). I could (and I do so when I'm gone) of course also download the mails to my laptop but I do not want to do so when I am mainly working with my desktop as that would mean incomplete accounts: some mails on the desktop, some on the laptop. But as it would sometimes be more convenient to just check the mails with my laptop instead of going to the desktop, I was wondering if there is any way that I could have the laptop kind of check out TB! on my desktop, if you understand what I am trying to say. :-) Of course I could set up TB! on the laptop that way that it leaves the mail on the server so they will then be deleted by the desktop-TB! when fetching them but that wouldn't help for those mails that have already been fetched by the desktop. Plus sent mails (via the laptop) wouldn't appear in my desktop-TB! and so on. Synchronizing in this scenario is not a way to go, too much of a hassle. The server doesn't seem to help here as I can't think of a way to use it for solving my problem. There is, though, such a thing called TCP/IP or Dial-out server for TB! instead of TCP/IP Workstation (the way it is set up right now). Would that help me? As far as I understand it wouldn't: Mail requested by the client (= laptop) would not be stored on the server (= desktop) _as its own mail_ but as mail for the client. But the client and the server are (should!) actually the same, at least email-wise. So this doesn't seem to help me (haven't tried it, though, as I can't risk a mess). What I would need is some kind of a mirror-TB! on my laptop when looking for mails - idealistically, the mails checked/read with the laptop should then also be marked read on the desktop, the ones deleted via the laptop should then be gone on the desktop, the ones moved/answered etc. should be... and so on. But I guess that is simply not possible without synchronizing? Unfortunately, the latter takes way too long and is much too complicated for this pure convenience problem. But maybe somebody has a great idea?

Re: Scenario: is that possible?
Hello, The great idea is called IMAP4, which provides server-side mailbox folders to solve just the very problem you have. Meaning: if I had mail-server functionality on my server that has IMAP4 capability I would be able to do just that? I guess I must admit that I have no clue what the difference between POP3 and IMAP4 is... This is interesting for me, because there is actually the possibility for me to install IMAP4-mail-server software on my server. I should then be able to use TB! already now without having to wait for v2 as I can chose between POP3 and IMAP as protocols in TB! - or am I misunderstanding something here? Anything else (using some flavor of network shares between your notebook and your desktop) is a kludge. Ack... Looking forward to TB!2. Allegedly, improved IMAP support might be on the plan... With the above mentioned working I would not have to wait for that, would I?

Re: Scenario: is that possible?
Hello Bernd, Running an IMAP server on your local server is a cool idea, but you will probably want to read your email from your ISP's (POP3) mail account. Ack. Short of changing your ISP's mail technology, Oh well, maybe... ;-) you might run your own IMAP server, but you'd still need something that fetches mail from your POP3 account and pushes it into your IMAP server. I'm certain there are tools available for this, AFAIK my server application (which is still beta) actually already is or then definitely will be able to do that. I somehow think your server runs Linux? Sort of, yes: www.eisfair.org The reason for mentioning TB! V2 is that the current IMAP support in TB! is limited to using IMAP as an alternative transport protocol, alternative to POP3. Meaning, TB! connects to an IMAP server, ignores all the nice ideas about server-side mail folders, and downloads the messages to local folders. Having read your explanation below then this present IMAP-support of TB! is useless. At least they have the name in there; that's a start... ;-) Proper IMAP support means server-side folders. One can have multiple clients open and they are synchronized automatically; a message that is deleted in client 1 will disappear in client 2, a message written and saved as draft will appear in all other open clients, etc. That is exactly what I am looking for. Who/what would synchronize the clients - that could actually only be the IMAP-server? I haven't really understood the technical side so far but: I do need IMAP(v2)-support in TB! for using it the way described even with having an IMAP-application running on my server, is that correct? If so, well, then I got to be patient, maybe a beta is going to be available soon, haven't heard anything lately, though. Thanks for you explanation!

PGP-problems with TB
Hello everybody, I'm running 1.54 beta10 right now, but no different with 1.53t which I used before. I installed PGP 6.5.8 for NT (running Win2k). I had PGP 6.0.2 installed before. PGP itself works fine, I created my own private key (a new one with 6.5.8, as I had some strange problems with the old key before), have imported public keys from other people and so on. No problem. Now, when I sign my mails with the new key (6.5.8) I get the following: -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.0.2i OlL9zB1t+TvgotNtq[...] -END PGP SIGNATURE- Why does it show 6.0.2i instead of 6.5.8?? I have all three PGPdlls in my TB-folder. If I remove the one for 5.5 and 6.5 I can still choose Version 6.0/6.5 in choose openPGP version but if I remove (only) the dll for 6.0 I can't choose that option anymore and I can't send my mail when I choose to sign it! Something does not seem to be right... Downloading the dll-zip again did not help. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? I have other people (using TB) who run PGP 6.5.8 and it shows that version in the signature correctly. And: I can't open the PGPkeys through Tools-OpenPGP-OpenPGP key manager. I get an unable to locate the PGPkeys application. What am I doing wrong here?! :-) Plus: why do I sometimes have strange characters before the PGP-Signature? I think somebody actually asked that before and there was no solution to it?

This problem seems to come up if one has installed several browsers whereas none really is the default browser if it is not clearly set to be so.

Re: Digest (02/24/2001 22:42) Special Issue (#2001-859)
Hello everybody having troubles using GMX, When I use GMX's SMTP server, I just set TB to POP before SMTP. What you should do nowadays is under Properties - Transport - SMTP-Server - Authentication, check "Perform SMTP Authentication" and leave it to "Use settings of Mail retrieval". You don't need to check "POP before SMTP". Then under your Pop-server you should have your user-number rather than your GMX-Email-address and of course your password. You do not need to change anything at the GMX web-interface. And most important: Be aware that your Email-address under Properties - General _MUST_ be your GMX-Address!! If not, you will never be able to use the GMX-SMTP-server. Also, make sure that any address set individually for a folder must also be your GMX-address.

Re: Question: Backup-function
Hi Wolfgang, AL I was just wondering: my TB!-folder is 700 MB. Are you aware of the way TB handles deleted mails in it's database? Yes, I would say I know that. But I currently have about 12500 Mails of which the ones in most of the folders are automatically deleted after a certain time (such as the ones in the trash-folder, e.g.), and I actually (still) have enough space on my hard-drive/partition. I used compression before but that (of course) makes TB! work for a while to compress the database. I don't want to wait that long, and I don't really see any advantage in compressing the folders besides the reduction of the folder-size. Or what else would there be? But I compressed the largest folders for you :-): it saved about 70 MB. If I would compress every folder it would probably save some 160 MB - not really that much.

Re: Question: Backup-function
Hello Tim, I'm not sure about TB!, but when I worked with databases (~1990), you did a purge (to remove all records that were marked "deleted"), I would say = "remove old messages"? then in TB! case a compress to take all the "empty" space out of the db that is left when removing a record. Shouldn't "remove old messages" in connection with "Keep messages in the base for:" do that? Also, I would guess a re-index happens which would speed up access time. I can't tell any difference. The only thing I _can_ say is that the process of compressing the database takes some time which I consider unnecessary under these circumstances. Anyone more knowledgeable on TB! inner workings want to confirm/deny that? Yes, I would really be interested too.

Re: Question: Backup-function
Hello Marck, 'Purge' does the deletion of expired/excess messages according to the folder settings. Compress, as you say, removes the messages flagged as deleted and reclaims the space. That means: if I do not compress, I could also leave the messages in the folder as the space won't be reclaimed without compress anyway? I can hardly believe that...

The only option I see where I can set a time is "This filter is actice only within this time intercal:" Is this what you mean? I thought this only affects the "working hours" of the filter?

Re: A feature with Win 2000 amd eml files
Hi Thomas, Once you have found this submenu item, please advise me where it is, as I also have a wrong file association on my box (my mistake), but since all my menus and submenus are in Chinese, I don't know where this [adjective censored] menu item is. :-( Why do you use a Chinese OS it you can't read it?! :-) PS: This reply applies to Win98. I have no idea whether it is the same in W2K. Win2k: Windows Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - File Types In Win98 (long time no use...) I think it's under "View" at the bottom, which is probably the third menu from the left in the Win-Explorer. But I am not sure.

Re: A feature with Win 2000 amd eml files
Hi David, [file association] I have tried this more than once. This is as well as making sure that The Bat! is my default email client in IE. Then it's most definitely a problem with OE (surprise, surprise) and therefore probably subject to flames on this list ;-) - I'll risk it anyway :-). I've never used OE but: did you create any account with it? If so, it makes itself (obviously) the default email-client over and over again. Ok, what you'll need to find is probably located under Extras - Options - General (I don't have OE), check there for the option to make OE the default client - and disable it if you haven't done so already... Make TB your default client under IE and in the TB settings. Then you may want to reboot to check whether OE has given up being an annoyance par excellence.

Re: Encryption of .TBB Mailboxes?
Hi, I am curious if there is an option (planned?) in TB that encrypts the mailbox files. Good question, I would be interested in that myself. And my additional question is if there is/will be a way to encrypt (only) folders in an account (instead or even in addition of the account)?

Russian spell checker available somehow?
Hello everybody, is there any way to implement a Russian spell checker in TB? Maybe there is even one available already? Int-pack is installed, I have English, French, German... but I need Russian. :-) Thanks, Alexander -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
