How do I set up an e-mail archive?
I'm sure this is a silly question, but I can't find the answer in the FAQ. I'm still using The Bat 1.60h, and it's got huge - there are something like 50,000 messages divided between 3 different accounts. I realise this isn't ideal - it runs too slowly, and the FAQ says there should be no more than 50 messages in the Inbox, otherwise there's a risk of corruption. I've just had to instal a new hard drive, so I've done a full back-up of The Bat. If I keep just a few of the most recent messages in the Bat program installed on my computer, how can I access the others if I need to refer to them?

Mary, I have 192,532 messages in 3 accounts. My copy of TB! is still running as fast as greased lightning. When some of my folders began to get large, I made a second folder--for instance, Sent Mail Archive to Feb 2006, and moved all the messages into it. Then I began fresh with current Sent messages that way. Don't keep messages in your Inbox. Move them to appropriate folders. But it is okay for those folders to be subfolders of your Inbox. I don't see any reason why TB! v. 1.60 should have any less storage capacity than the version I am running, v. 3.85.03. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.85.03 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I've set up a dummy account, called appropriately dummy. It is password protected, so only if I need to get into is it even available for searches, viewing, etc. It just sits there out of the way. Seems to work perfectly. Just have to remember to give it an easy to remember password, such as password. -- Dwight A.

Would make for a quicker back-up time, too. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 3.85.03 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
