The only idea I have is to find the Bat! exe file, right click it and choose 
the option "Pin to Taskbar", if you have that option.

Thanks!  I have my GMail (and all outside email) forwarded to Fastmail.  The 
problem is when I want to send from GMail in the Bat! because GMail insists on 
less secure app status, and cancels the "off" status if I don't send in a 
while.  My ISP email is so inferior that I gave up on it years ago and I don't 
use it at all.

Internet Reconnect

[Lore Galore]

Hi All,

I'm wondering whether there is a setting so that when the internet disconnects 
itself, the Bat! will reconnect automatically.  Without this, it disconnects 
and I have to reconnect as often as the internet disconnects.

I haven't tried it yet, but have been continually aggravated with gmail's 
turning off "less secure app" access if I don't use the gmail account in The 
Bat! for a while.  Hopefully when the time comes it will be workable; otherwise 
I'll have to use webmail - Fastmail in particular, as I like it better than

I'm looking forward to the answer to that, as I had upgraded and asked what to

Hello Stefan,


Regarding v9.4.3, I immediately had a problem with the download manager/images 
as shown in attachment.  So far all other emails display what I want to see, 
and when I clicked the button to do so, the button disappeared.  It does not 
work for Sacramento Bee email list.  It does not show what I want to see

Glad you got that settled.  Just commenting because Google also stops "insecure 
apps", and one has to go to the Google account and choose the setting to allow 
insecure apps.  Fastmail allows creation of app passwords, as well.

Hi Mike,

Multiple processes means the software has multiple instances running at one 
time, as shown in the task manager.  Chrome browser does this.  I don't really 
understand why some programs are designed to do this.  It won't affect your 
handling of email, but usually means using huge amounts of memory.  More about 
this here:

Search with Google

[Lore Galore]

Hello Bats,

Having used both Thunderbird and The Bat! back and forth, I am missing the 
feature available in Thunderbird in The Bat! - which is to select text in an 
email, and right-click to select "Search Google for...".  I'd like to stay with 
The Bat! for so many reasons, like much lower memory usage, and also because 
Thunderbird is soon to become multi-process like Chrome browser.  I like one 
process and low memory usage.

Is there a way to get that Search with Google function in The Bat! ?  I didn't 
realize just how much I use it.

I think the easiest way to do this is to have both IMAP accounts set up
in The Bat!, and then copy or move the emails from one account to the other.

As I understand it, the Image Download Manager does not delete
anything.  It controls which images are allowed (or not) to display in
TB!  Nothing is affected/allowed/disallowed when opened in Chrome or
otherwise outside of TB!

FYI - I looked up https://powerinbox.com/ and see it is to put marketing
in emails.  Much like Live Intent, which MarketWatch uses.

Are you all aware of the image download manager?  It is under Tools, and
is used to block unwanted garbage images that come in email.  It is
harder to use than Thunderbird's, and I had a real problem with "Live
Intent" marketing used in newsletters such as from MarketWatch.  It
would be a great thing if one could import rules from Thunderbird into
The Bat!  POWERINBOX looks pretty bad; I can't stand being marketed and
tracked via emails, but I get a number of newsletters to keep informed
on things.  Here's what The Bat!'s manager looks like - and I wonder
whether you will see that the source of POWERINBOX is allowed in yours.

I'm not sure we can add attachments, but maybe it would be okay to
upload your screenshot to a site like imgur.com and include the link to
your screenshot in the posting.  Maybe someone can verify that this is okay.

Yes, I got that too.  For a second there, I thought it wasn't legit, but 
then saw that it seemed to be from the list.  I assumed they made a

Jack, I assume you use 64 bit Windows version (Windows 10, am I right)?
Then I assume you use 64 bit version of TB! (am I right)?
If both are correct, than in my opinion you have to use 64 bit version
of AntispamSnipper.

I was using 32 bit version of TB! on my 64 bit Windows 10, and in that
case AntispamSnipper was in 32 bit version. I think, the 'bit' version
of AntispamSnipper should be linked with 'bit' version of TB!, not
operating system.

Hope that helps :)


Hi Jack,

I used Belarc Advisor to see if it would tell me my Bat! version, and it 
does, when you point at the entry for the software - shown here - 
https://i.sli.mg/WXNk3w.jpg


Belarc Advisor shows full info regarding your computer and software, 
good thing to have.  You can get it here free -

Hello Tbudl,

   Does  anybody  have any idea how to make a zombie email go

Gene,
This issue came up in the past; this is what I found about it:

/Post by Tony Hoare/ 


Sorry for the delay...
I meant to empty the cache for the folder. Right Click on the folder,
IMAP-Specific tab, Clear Cache Now. The cache will be reloaded from
the server.
Ctrl-R on the folder should refresh the folder or virtual
folder. Alternatively, Right-Click, Refresh.
I did do those things without the wanted result, but finally managed
to get rid of that email. I looked in IMAP folder management and
found that the tbb file was 55 kb, and found that size file in App
Data. Deleted it, but kept it in Recycle Bin until I confirmed that I 
didn't delete

the wrong file. That worked! Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes, change the password.  If desktop computers, as opposed to mobile 
devices, are involved, I'd run a Malwarebytes scan.  I don't know what 
one does when a mobile device is potentially infected, as I haven't had 
that happen.  I've been hacked before on AOL mail and changed the 
password.  As an aside, I was about to give up on using antivirus 
software on our desktop computers, as they are invasive. Instead, I got 
360 Total Security and am very satisfied.

Hi all,

I have found the following thread in a German TheBat board:

https://www.batboard.net/index.php/Thread/13294-TB-4-2-44-2-kann-pl%C3%B6tzlich-keine-Mails-mehr-versenden-1-1-gmx/

The trouble might have to do with SPF which has been introduced for  
1und1, gmx, web.de:


http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/United-Internet-verschaerft-Spam-Bekaempfung-3225281.html  
(German)



Up to now there are two options to be able to send mails via client  
again:


1. Update TheBat to v.6.6 or higher. They work and cause no trouble. For  
me it costs money for the upgrade: 19,95 Eur for the Home version, 29,95  
Eur for the pro version (both plus taxes)


2. Use a different Email-client like Thunderbird which costs 0 Eur.

I have not decided yet what I will do. As I use Voyager, I'd need to  
upgrade my pro version for almost 40 Euro which also *might* solve my  
other issue with TheBat crashing with "TMail message released before its  
use". OTOH if that crash does not get fixed, it would be a 40 Eur for a  
single "bugfix", because the current version I have, 5.x, does all I  
need and want concerning functionality. I think I will take a look at  
Thunderbird and all its functions and plugins whether they can compete  
with TheBat concerning filters, address books, postbox inspector and  
templates.


And it would make a possible switch from Windows to Linux definitely  
more attractive, or does Ritlabs plan to release a Mac or Linux version?

For those contemplating using a different email client, I'd suggest trying  
out Opera's stand-alone client.  I've found it preferable to Thunderbird,  
in that it uses far fewer system resources, more in line with what The  
Bat! uses.  With IMAP, the only issue is that it will stop perpetual  
syncing and it takes a couple of minutes to load the email content.  I've  
taken to using it due to The Bat! frequently crashing when opening certain  
emails.

 You can set up multiple email accounts in The Bat!, with one being 
primary/default.  When compose window is open, you can look at the 
bottom border of the window and see the name of your default mail 
account.  Clicking that shows all configured mail accounts to choose 
from, but choose it before you type anything.
