Turning an account off
Hello TBUDL, I've got TB! 4 on my laptop with two accounts set up. Since I do not want to read (and sync!) my IMAP work account while I am on holiday, I would like to disable all automatic communication for this account. Getting mail when I actually open up the acounts would be fine, but I don't want it to download anything without asking for it explicitly. Right now it is set up to fetch mail and sync stuff quite often, which I need for work. The solution should therefore be easily reversible. Is there such a feature?

Re: How do I set an image from a web site to display in a message?

White wrote: I have an image that displays in my business e-mails however some people don't like the image as it shows up as an attachment and various spam filters consider this spam. These spam filters will however let a message through if the message does not have an attachment but a link to a web site where the message is stored. How can I do this with The Bat! and templates? You would just have to edit your template to have the image point to a web address instead of an attached file. I just tried to do that and noticed that it seems to be quite tricky to directly edit an existing html template's code. I'd therefore suggest you write your code in an external editor. Basically your image has to look like this: img src=http://www.yourcompany.com/img/signature.png; width=100 height=100 alt=My company's logo / If you can't get to the source code with TB! because the source viewer sort of scrambles it, try saving an email to a txt file or opening it with Thunderbird to view the source there (ctrl+u). You can then copy the code into say notepad, edit the image and reenter the template variables (by i.e. copying them from the template editor). After that you'd just have to put the new template into your mail account. It might also be possible to save it from notepad and include it as a template file in TB!, but I have not done that so I don't know how it works. There's probably a more simple way to achieve this, but the principle is the same. Just substitute the image's url. I hope that helps.

My question is: is it possible to have emails from 2 different email addresses go into the same account? If your old address is with a public email provider, you could probably also set up a POP3 collection, so that it gets the mail from the new account (or wise versa). You would then have to only download mail from one and get both. If you enter your templates to use the appropriate address as sender, e.g. new mail always gets the new address, replies get their original to-address, your contacts won't even notice if you don't tell them. Of course, this is not an option if you're switching addresses because the old one is full of spam.

Address book syncronisation
Hello TBUDL, I'm using TB! at home and plan to get a second licence for my computer at work (since I cannot find the licence text... I have a students licence - any thoughts on that?). Right now most of us at work use either Thunderbird or some version of Outlook. Our mail servers can only be accessed via IMAP. We get new collegues fairly often, so the company's address book changes a lot. For that matter I use the Thunderbird addon SyncMab (http://tinyurl.com/npl2r5), which loads a .mab address book export that some helpdesk guy creates from an nfs and imports/overwrites it into an address book in Thunderbird. This works well. But can I do the same thing with TB!? There's also an ldif and some other format (which I cannot remember right now, it's probably for Outlook) available. I could also write up a little perl script to convert one of these files into some other text format if that would make the import easier. But what I'm looking for is basically a way to have one address book syncronised from one of these files. Thanks for suggestions.

IMAP filtering
Hello Tbudl, I've got an IMAP account with lots of mail. I connect through the internet with a 1024/128 kbit/s line. The account is checked in intervals of 10 minutes and it disconnects after 2 minutes. Only mails below a certain size get downloaded completely. For the others, it only gets the headers. So far, that's all working quite ok. I've set up several filters to move mails to different folders. Now what is strange is that they sometimes work, and sometimes they don't. Some messages would show up in the right folders on their own, but often nothing happens. When I try to refilter them (no difference whether selected or not), it says they were filtered, it shows it in the log, but it does not move them. Doesn't matter whether they're read or unread, either. I've not figured out what the conditions are for this to happen. First I belived it might be connected with lag, because I sometimes download a lot of stuff. But it also happens when the whole bandwidth is available. I don't just want to blame the weak IMAP implementation because it does work from time to time. E.g. there're like 10 filtered and 20 not filtered unread messages in the account right now. Has anyone encountered a similar problem or any idea why this happens?

Changing reply-to address by reciepient-address
Hello Tbudl, I have to use a certain web-mail/lots-of-features platform where I have my own mail address at school. There I have set a forward to my proper mail address which I handle in TB!. If I answer a mail which came from someone else who uses the platform, their replies will go to my proper mail address. But then I cannot read the reply from within the platform, which I sometimes have to. Some of the people I write to are in my addressbook. They have their proper addresses first and the platform address second. Is there a way to create an outbound filter that adds a reply-to address to the mails that go to some...@damn-platform.com ? I tried to do that but did not find the right option. Or am I maybe looking at this from the wrong angle? Do I need a special template that holds the reply-to address? But how do I apply that to all the people in my addressbook only if it's their platform email address (and possibly a reply, not a first message) or even just a message/reply to a platform address that is not in my addressbook at all? If there's a way to do that, is there maybe even a way to mask the sender to be the address of the platform? Or are there any objections doing that?

I actually thought it would do that itself, but it seems it doesn't. -- Using The Bat! v4.0.14 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 4.0.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re[2]: Address Book groups and 2+ addresses per contact

Address Book groups and 2+ addresses per contact
Hello TBUDL, I have several contacts to whom I send privat and work-related mail. There is only one contact per person which has two or more of their email adresses. The contacts are in an address book group for friends as well as one for work. Let's call those two groups friends and work. The email address field in the contact details looks like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The groups field looks like this: work+friends I would like to get TheBat! to decide which of those two (or maybe more) addresses it should use depending on the group from which I select the contact to write a new message. It would also be nice if it did that when I write a mail to all contacts in the group (i.e. a meeting invitation or something). Is this possible or is there a better approach?

Re: Memory usage
Hello Tom, Friday, February 22, 2008, 12:37:51 PM, you wrote: just wondering what your average memory usage is for your bat? I've got a realatively fresh install of The Bat! with 5 pop3 accounts that have about 3,400 messages and one imap account with about 2,200 messages. Right now it's been running for approximately 5 minutes and uses 20m of memory and 42m of VM. It's not doing much, though. I never paid much attention to this but I recently noticed in task manager something like 60,000-70,000 K and was a bit surprised. Would that be normal on XP? I guess it depends on how much stuff there is in it. I recon if you have lots of complicated filters and a whole lot of mail comming in all the time it takes up more memory. And there might also be a difference between versions since you are using 3.99 and I'm not. -- Using The Bat! v4.0.14 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 4.0.14.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
