I know about the backup/restore You can archive into a seperate account, which has the mail directory set to the CD-ROM drive. This sort of works. I copied my mail directory onto a CDROM. A new account was set up and I had its mail directory point to the CDROM drive. This gives me access to the messages. The Bat! complained when I (inadvertly) tried to change some attributes, but that is logical. Also, starting The Bat! with the CDROM not its drive, results in a number of error messages (no access to sent, inbox, outbox). I guess I can find some workarounds but it is a not so elegant solution.

Maintaining off-line mail archives (on CDROM)
Dear group, I am new to the Bat!. A nonstaining user of Pegasus, I am now trying to work whether it is time to move to a new client. Started with the Bat! and I like what I have seen so far. As can be expected, things work differently and there are some questions popping up. The first has to do with keeping an archive of one's e-mail. Pegasus has the option to 'connect to remote mailboxes'. It can be used to create off-line archives of mailboxes. I can put complete folders (like inbox-2000 and outbox-2000) onto a CDROM and remove them from my Addis. Whenever I have a need to access them, I would just hook them into the Pegasus folder tree. Is there anything like that in the Bat! that allows me to keep e-mail on CDROM and have it still accessible? I know about the backup/restore function, but that seems to be tailored more towards backup than towards archiving. -- FJ de Bruin -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
