Do you mean you want some kind of an external configurator? Why do you need it anyway? :) To disable periodical checking while The Bat! is running, you can use "Options|Work offline". If it's a fresh installation, you can create a "dummy" account (with a fake address), switch into offline mode and then restore from your backup. But it's a valid point you're making here... :-) -- Best regards, Stefan Tanurkov Current version is 9.1.18 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Disable periodic checking for all accounts
I guess simply unplugging the Ethernet cable (it is rare that I use wifi) so that there is no possibility of an Internet connection will guarantee no retrieval of mail. Then I just need to go through the "options" in the properties for every e-mail account one at a time.

What I did when I wanted to open TB! without downloading emails is to turn off wifi on my comuter. In fact, I also do that every time when I run the Maintenance Center. -- Cheers, Thomas.

Disable periodic checking for all accounts
Is there a way to disable periodic checking for all e-mail accounts in TheBat Version 9 without starting the program? Similarly, a way to set the "ignore check all accounts" flag for every account before starting the program or even afterwards providing I can disable periodic checking first. These are in the "Options" of the Properties for each e-mail account. I presume these are in the individual "account" files, but which file extension is it? I am contemplating restoring a backup made on my first PC to my second PC, but I don't want that second PC to start retrieving any mail when the restore finishes unless I do it myself manually for specific e-mail accounts. My other option is to do a new installation of TheBat (it is a different version from that on my first PC) and then start adding a few new e-mail accounts that do not exist on the first PC) one at a time and copy the common filters from the first PC.
