Re[2]: Accounts Question
I installed the filter on my less-used email address, and it works fine. Now I have to check only one box for all my email. The Inbox, Outbox, Sent, and Trash folders in the account for the less-used address are basically not used and everything gets put into folders in the major account. Makes things much simpler for me, and I can still reply with the lesser-used address from the major or dominant mailbox. Thanks again to all. Mike Greenbaum -- JANUS BOOKS, LTD.

Accounts Question
I have just downloaded The Bat and am setting it up for the first time. I have two different email addresses I use. I'd like to be able to choose between them in the From window, but the only way I can find to do this is by setting up two accounts for them. This means two inboxes which seems kind of clumsy since every time I check my mail, I must remember to check both inboxes. Is there a way to have all mail go to the same inbox? Meanwhile I have set up two accounts, but when I hit the check mail icon, it checks only for the account which is highlighted, not for both accounts. I did finally locate a menu item under Tools which says Check Mail for All, and I know I can use the Alt-F2 key to do the same thing. But is there any way I can change the icon so that it will check mail for both accounts? Hope I won't get too annoying with these newbie-type questions, but I did check the FAQ first and found nothing there. Thanks.

When you look at the icon closely, you will see that there is a little arrow at the right.

Have you checked out the filters yet? You can filter an incoming email to go into any folder, even across accounts. Check out the filtering section in the FAQ.

Hello Michael, On Sunday, October 01, 2000 at 20:33:03 GMT -0700 (which was 8:33 PM where I live) witnesses say Michael S. Greenbaum typed: I have just downloaded The Bat and am setting it up for the first time. Welcome. I hope you enjoy your experience with TB. I have two different email addresses I use. I'd like to be able to choose between them in the From window, but the only way I can find to do this is by setting up two accounts for them. You could create a quick template containing the macro %From="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Give it a handle like sa Then when you're in the message editor, all you need to do is type sactrl-space This means two inboxes which seems kind of clumsy since every time I check my mail, I must remember to check both inboxes. Is there a way to have all mail go to the same inbox? The best way to do this is choose the minor account and set up an incoming filter to redirect all mail to your primary account. Then enable Local delivery under Options - Network Administration. You will lose the original To: address if that's important. The only alternative is if your primary account doesn't use too many filters, then you could simply have the filter *move* the incoming messages into the primary account. There are drawbacks to this idea too. In this case, your primary account will *not* refilter the moved messages automatically. Meanwhile I have set up two accounts, but when I hit the check mail icon, it checks only for the account which is highlighted, not for both accounts. I did finally locate a menu item under Tools which says Check Mail for All, and I know I can use the Alt-F2 key to do the same thing. But is there any way I can change the icon so that it will check mail for both accounts? Not yet. I too would like this feature. Hope I won't get too annoying with these newbie-type questions, We were all newbies at one point. Besides, even some of the "old-timers" are still learning new things on a daily basis. Questions are encouraged. but I did check the FAQ first and found nothing there. That's great. Checking the FAQ is a good thing. :-) -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal See header for e-mail address Using The Bat! 1.47 Beta/5 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A -- -- 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

Hello Thomas, On Sunday, October 01, 2000 at 11:49:25 GMT +0800 (which was 8:49 PM where I live) witnesses say Thomas Fernandez typed: "Two email addresses" and "two accounts" is synonymous in The Bat!. I'd like to disagree. You can set addresses on a folder by folder and a template by template basis. You do not need an account for every address that you want to use in the From field. You need multiple accounts in TB to *check* mail from multiple POP/IMAP accounts or to send from multiple SMTP servers. Hope that helps clear things up. :) -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal See header for e-mail address Using The Bat! 1.47 Beta/5 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A -- -- 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

I agree with you on both counts, but I thought Michael did want to check both email address (accounts) for email, not merely check one but u8se different "fromn" addresses. Since he wants the message to end up in one inbox, I further assumed that he wants to reply only from one email address. I have this situation as I have two "main" private accounts, one of which I want to phase out now, and I filter everything from the "old" one into the appropriate folders of the "new" one. So, when I reply or send any messages, I always actually use the new account, not just the "from" address. Should anybody by mistake still use the old email address, it's no big deal, I hardly notice. ;-) JA Hope that helps clear things up. :) I'm not sure about Mike's purpose of wanting his messages to end up all in *one* inbox. -- Cheers, Thomas.

Hello Thomas, On Sunday, October 01, 2000 at 12:32:52 GMT +0800 (which was 9:32 PM where I live) witnesses say Thomas Fernandez typed: Since he wants the message to end up in one inbox, I further assumed that he wants to reply only from one email address. Fair enough. I wanted to make sure everything was totally clear. I use a number of forwarding addresses with all the Unix accounts I have. Although they all end up in the same POP account, I sometimes want to send mail from those addresses. That's when the difference shows up. I'm not sure about Mike's purpose of wanting his messages to end up all in *one* inbox. Some people want to simplify their mail systems. For me that means lots of filters, folders and accounts for various purposes. For others that means one account and one folder to read all of their mail. A lot depends on the volume and type of mail that you get, not to mention user preference. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal See header for e-mail address Using The Bat! 1.47 Beta/5 under Windows 98 4.10 Build A -- -- 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
