Aw: Dozens of copies saved on draft
Hi Stefan, when I create a message, the bat saves it in different stages of editing in the same folder I create it. Sometimes I work on a message for relatively a long time (let's say 30-60 minutes), so I end up with literally dozens of copies in my folder. Which, I must say, it's pretty confusing. Check your filters. I had the same/a similar problem when a filter hit on a recipient/sender and moved all messages to a given folder. If you selected all folders that will happen on the Outbox as well. -- Cheers, Raymund Current version is 6.1.8 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi Jack, do not create the folder with TB!. Instead create the folder and copy the messages.tbb into that folder.

Re: Scary message (2)
Hi Jack, RT do not create the folder with TB!. Instead create the folder and copy RT the messages.tbb into that folder. Now use the shortcut. Forgive me for being so obtuse but can you expand your instructions a little? The point is that if you create the folder in TB the shortcut ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+L won't work as the folder isn't lost. So create a folder, put the messages.tbb in there, hit the keys and TB! should find that said folder and show its messages. You can than copy the messages around as needed and get rid of the extra folder afterwards. -- Best regards, Raymund Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Upgrading to win 8 questions
Hi Rick, RT That might be a problem. But only if both users are logged in at the RT time. Which will likely happen with the shiny new device... Thanks for the reply! Is there any downside to operating on the same mail folder as long as we are not both accessing it at the same time? No. I would REALLY hate to split her stuff off Why not settle the issue just by using IMAP?

Hi Rick, outside the /Users directory and not in /Program Files (x86) or any other access protected directory. Thanks! You have given me something to think about. I am coming off of XP so I haven't had the experience with the win 7 environment You can put it into C:\Users\Public\Documents or create a new directory in C:\Users\Public and use that.

Re: Upgrading to win 8 questions
Hi Melissa, I am upgrading to 64 bit Windows 8. If you want an upgrade at this point, I might recommend you move to Windows 7. I use Windows 8 since more than a year and the missing start menu is something that isn't missing after a week or so. And the system boots quicker, reacts quicker and if you by any change have a touch device you got a new way of manipulating things. All good. -- Cheers, Raymund Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Upgrading to win 8 questions
Moin Rick, I am upgrading to 64 bit Windows 8. Any advice or things I should watch for? Nothing special. If you want to use File History make sure to put the mail base into documents and not into %APPDATA%. If possible I am going to use 2 logins (one for my wife). You really should do that. If the Bat is loaded twice (once in each login) does that make any issues of which I should be aware? With the normal setup that should work fine. I would LIKE to have both profiles accessing the same database as I do all the maintenance and process all the spam That might be a problem. But only if both users are logged in at the time.

Re: Strange error message
Hi Lynn, On 3/23/2012, you wrote: L The messages are: FETCH - could not store message (file L name-c:\users\lynn\temp\bat*.tmp) String looks like hex, 4 L characters. The frustrating thing (apart from the other accounts working perfectly), is that these bat*.tmp files seem to be deleted immediately after the failed fetch .. I guess they aren't created in the first place. You could try if ProcessMonitor works on Wine. Then you could monitor The Bat! and check which files it attemps to write and if there are any error messages. As the other accounts work and these are POP3 as well check for any differences in the account settings.

Re: Wierd sorting
Hi Wolfgang, use the Add/Remove programms feature of Windows or use the MSI file to uninstall That works, but keep in mind that going back to 4.2.44 will have an impact on the mail base as mails received by TB!5 are stored with UTC time and with TB!4 with local time.

Re: Search conditions in Message Finder
Hi Mark, This PC (XP): 8 minutes to boot. Sometimes it takes 3 boots before it starts up, because it hangs twice (almost at the end of booting). I had that problem on three different PCs now.

How to set the default account for a common folder
Hi Tbudl, so I have a common folder that stores all my TB-BETA mails. If I reply to a message it is send with the correct mail address as I set the identity. But it is send from the wrong account and therefore the copy of the mail is put into the wrong sent folder which is rather annoying. How do I set that account? Do I have to use a macro for that as I couldn't find an option in the folder preferences menu. -- Regards, Raymund Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: How to set the default account for a common folder
Hi Roelof! RTT How do I set that account? Do I have to use a macro for that as I RTT couldn't find an option in the folder preferences menu. You could use address book templates for tb-beta that include the %account macro. AFAIK you can't set the account per folder. QEE (quod erat expectandum :-)).

Re: Automatic backups
Hi Jack! I have no idea why an icon is created instead of a text string showing the date but I would love to know. Something in the regex perhaps? That's simply because the RegEx doesn't work correctly for filenames anymore. I suggest you write a bug report. (But Roelof mentioned it is a know problem somehow.) If you run the RegEx in a new message template, it puts in the date as expected and it should do the same for the backup filename. This apparently solves my original problem and I can run with it but it sure would be neat if TB! created a new, different backup instead of overwriting the existing one. It strange that TB! overwrite a file without a filename (I don't call an extension a filename :-)) but doesn't do it with a file. But if I look at your version number the regex might only work with a later version of TB! -- Regards, Raymund pgpCJUP8xDPOs.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi! With backups you should rely on the grandfather principle. So you have the current backup, the last one and the one before that.

Re: Address book help
Hi Jack, as I don't think this is of general interest to TBUDL, I send a personal message. didn't exist in the 32 bit version. Unfortunately, the USB HDD I'm using for backup is currently formatted as FAT32 and must be formatted to NTSF in order for the image to be created. As soon as I am comfortable that I have a good Carbonite backup I'm going to re-format the USB HDD to NTSF and try to create an image of this new machine. You should be able to do that using the command line and call the program convert x: /FS:NTFS. No need to reformat (if you have enough free space left). To make a backup first is a good idea though. -- Regards, Raymund Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: TB! and Windows 7 UAC
Hi Cesar, Thanks for your message. That's the problem. I give my permission every time TB! starts. Try the following: Find The Bat! in the Program Files directory, right click it and go to the compatibility tab. Check Run as Administrator. However, if I lower the warnings level from UAC (no warning, lowest level), nothing bothers me anymore. Well, to run the computer with an administrative account and turning off UAC is a very, very bad idea. That would open the door for more malwares like the one you got from that iPhone website :-) I should probably do that because as I read before from friends at TBUDL, UAC wouldn't help so much with security issues. Well, security wise it is always a good idea to run with the least possible privileges. So create a restricted user and if you need to install something make sure you scan it first for virus and malware and then install it using the administrative account that was created during the setup of the computer. -- Regards, Raymund Current version is 4.2.12.4 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: Windows 7
Hi Stuart! Congratulations. Can you now confirm the following bug: Well, he uses a different version than you do, so even if he confirms that doesn't help. Using Windows 7 RTM, when I open SmartBat there is no icon showing up in the taskbar. If I then change the focus to another window SmartBat disappears and needs to be reopened. At this point if you had scrolled up the page in SmartBat you position would have been lost. You're right there is no icon on the taskbar. You're wrong with SmartBat has to be reopened. If you don't maximize the TB! window and drag SmartBat's window so that it is visible all the time, you see it vanishing when the focus leaves the bat and coming back when the focus comes back. So, minimizing TB's window even gives you your SmartBat's window back. -- Regards, Raymund TB 4.2.12.1 Current version is 4.2.10.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
