Importing messages from outlook created a real mess
Hi listers, I recently imported some folders from Outlook and now I have a real mess. First off, although I have my folders sorted by receive date, none of the newly-imported messages are properly sorted. I changed my sorting to creation date, but still, the outlook messages aren't sorted at all. Secondly, I don't have any from Email addresses i.e. if I attempt to reply to a message just imported from Outlook, the to: field fills in with the sender's name, but no email address. Any tips-tricks here? THanks, Steve Current version is 2.00 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Importing messages and address book from Netscape 7?

I use GMX, which has both web access (which I use when I'm travelling) and POP access. There should be something like that in your country as well. Most ISP's I know offer web access. If you cannot find a webmail service in your language that offers free POP access, ask your ISP whether they offer web access. All of my normal email address, with different providers, can also be accessed via the web. If your ISP doesn't offer web access, access your POP account with http://mail2web.com/ . It is very comfortable and reliable, and the web interface doesn't blind you with flashing ads like Hotmail does. Needing web access to your email account is no reason to use Hotmail. What do you recommend I do so that I can access my Hotmail account via The Bat!? If you insist on Hotmail, then a program by the name of web2pop is your solution. I don't have the URL handy, but it was built for services like Hotmail that only offer web access. This (freeware?) proggy will make it possible for you to check your Hotmail with TB.

Importing Messages from Pegasus
Howdy Ladies and Gents,
I have a huge number of old EMail messages in Pegasus format. I have
been able to import old messages from some of the Pegasus accounts
(those with a small number of messages). However, the import routine
chokes on the one account that has probably 30,000+ messages. When I
attempt to import, the routine just keeps going back to the screen
where I am supposed to point to the Pegasus account folder(s).
I would attempt to break up the messages into smaller groups, but I
can't even run Pegasus anymore. I keep getting a run-time error every
time I try to start it.
Has anyone else had problems importing large numbers of Pegasus
messages? Any ideas on how I can import these messages into TB!

Other than that, it's an Edit by hand issue. Yes, I may fake up Date: headers if it comes to that. Just for the sake of discussion, though, there seem to be two issues here: 1) Why is Agent not writing a Date: header in the Unix message format file of 'sent' messages? And is this a legitimate file format? These are probably not appropriate topics for this forum, and I'll purse them elsewhere. 2) Pehaps I shouldn't fault TB! for having problems with an imported file with no Date: header. But what it does is curious, to say the least. TB! _does_ recognize the timestamp in the Unix message separator, i.e., the From line with timestamp which is the first line of every Unix message. The strangeness is that, in the message-list, it uses that timestamp as the 'received' time, and uses the current time as the 'created' time, rather than the other way around. A further strangeness is that TB! then displays Created Sat, 30 Dec 1899 00:00:00 () in the headers immediately above the message-view. In passing, I note that Forte Agent handles this sort of import correctly. If messages in a Unix format file have no Date: header, it uses the timestamp from the separator line as the created time/date. -- Dave Goodman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.53d on Windows 98 -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Re: Importing messages as HTML
Hi David, The main problem I had with messages exported from Eudora, is that HTML messages seem to get messed up by Eudora, for some reason they all had a x-html tag put into them, and there content-type changed to text/plain. This is why you see the tags, and it is the text/plain tag which is the problem - I have no idea why Eudora does this. This explains it. That fits my own experience as well. But I noticed your message isn't threaded properly in the message list, and further investigation shows that both and "In-reply-To" "References" fields are missing in your header. Did you take them out manually? Or is there a bug with TB? I also noticed (when I was checking the header) you're using TB 1.45 beta 11. You might want to upgrade to the 1.45 official release (with no S/MIME) or 1.45 S/MIME (which is still in beta, despite its name). -- Best regards, Ming-Li Using The Bat! 1.45 S/MIME under Win2k -- -- 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
Importing messages as HTML
I imported a bunch of messages that I had sent using Eudora. I do not send messages in HTML in Eudora. I send them plain text only and have checked my Eudora settings to make sure that is so. However, upon importing messages into TB! I find that they have HTML formatting. The HTML formatting is not showing up like where someone sends a message to me in HTML. That is, when I go to read one of the messages I previously sent in Eudora, it all I see is the message with all the HTML codes in it. Again, this is strange since I didn't send the messages in HTML in the first place. It also makes it impossible for me to use these messages since they are unreadable. I need to be able to use them and read them for various purposes. When I read the messages in Eudora they do not appear to be in HTML nor did they appear so to those who received them. Any idea why this happened on importing? Also, is there any way to strip the HTML codes out of the messages I imported (I can do it manually but there are a lot of these messages). -- Best regards, Katsmeow mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! 1.45 Release Candidate under Windows 98 4.10 Build 1998 -- -- 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
Re[2]: Importing messages from Outlook Express
Hello Ming-Li, Cracked it eventually! Using your suggestion about regedit I found where the one identity was storing its mail. Looking in Explorer I found that there were three similar folders with different long-string names. I also found there was another one, which had the same pathname without the long-string name, in other words windows\application data\microsoft\outlook express It had some of the same dbx files but not all. There was a subfolder 'mail' which had them all. I copied the dbx files from the 'identity' folder listed in regedit into this new outlook express folder and TB found them and imported them! Nothing's ever simple, is it? So it seems I now have five more or less identical copies of all the email and newsgroups I've stored - the three 'identity' folders plus this 'non-identity' folder plus its subfolder 'mail'. No wonder Windows takes up so much space!

Re: Importing messages from Outlook Express
Hi Norman,
It doesn't ask me where this mail is stored - it just lists three
mail folders - inbox, sent mail, outbox and I have to tick the
ones I want. It then deposits the mail items - as I said it's only
the ones you get with OE to start with - in my TB inbox. No error
messages, no other folders allowed.
I suspect there's some problem with OE rather than TB, because I
can't import the folders of old, stored messages into Eudora or
Netscape Messenger either.
Are you comfortable with Regedit (registry editor)?
It looks like other email clients can't find where OE store your
mail. Are you using the same Windows account as you're using OE? Did
you ever reinstall OE (or IE with OE) or Windows? My guess is, OE
was installed on your system more than once. It creates a new
identity each time it's installed if it can't find the information
in registry, and TB and others are looking at the wrong base folder.
OE remembers its mail base folder in the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{A Long ID String}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0
(Note, Thomas suggested a different key earlier, so you might want
to check there, too. But I think the above one is more accurate for
OE5.)
The entry is "Store Root".
There are several possibilities here.
1. If you logged into Windows with a different account (or if you've
reinstalled Windows, or dual booted to another environment), the
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER] tree would contain entirely different
information from the one you used to use OE.
2. If you created multiple identities in OE, there would be several
sub-keys under the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\] key, and TB (and
others) may be looking at the wrong one. It happens when you didn't
leave OE from the identity you're trying to import from (or for some
other reasons OE remember the wrong active identity).
3. If you reinstalled OE after removing it, it would create a new
identity. Then there would be only one identity key in your
registry, but it's the wrong one.
To make sure, please launch OE, and make sure all your mail is
there. Then quite OE, and lauch TB, and try to import again.
If still no go, use Windows Explorer (not IE) to locate the right
location for your mail, and check to see if the "Store Root"
information in your registry is correct.
After TB finds the right folder for your OE mail, you should be able
to import "most" of the mail without major problems. Expect some
more twists and turns, though, for OE's messages base is quite
quirky. Thankfully none can't be overcome and hopefully my memory is
still fresh.

Hi Norman, I'd like to be able to import a bank of previously received messages from various folders in Outlook Express, but when I try, all I get are the five 'Welcome to Outlook Express' messages that come when you first use it. Could you be more specific? Which version of OE are you trying to import from (4.x or 5.x)? At which step did it go wrong? I assume you're using the Mailbox Import Wizard. After choosing OE 4 or 5, TB would prompt to ask where you store your mail, and then I should show all the mail folders (or mailboxes, I forgot the terminology actually used) available for import. Then you choose which of them to import. Assuming you've gone this far, then what did you choose, the Inbox only or some folders or all? You said you imported successfully only 5 messages. Did TB give you any error messages? Assuming the 5 messages are in the Inbox, have you tried to skip the Inbox and import another folder instead? I've tried the same thing in Messenger and Eudora - Messenger gets the same messages, Eudora just freezes the PC. I recently imported all my mail from OE 5.01 and some from Eudora (4.3.2 beta) successfully, thought there were many twists and turns, and some hand tweakings were necessary.
