Mail lost in a time warp.
Hello TBUDL, I was changing my CMOS battery and forgot to set time and date afterwards. I returned to Windows and started The Bat! and lost tons of mail since the time was set sometime in the future, and I have many folders set to expire mail based on how long it has been stored in the folder. You may tell me to set max amount of mail in a folder instead, but I like to set it so that old mail gets deleted after a while. I am not sure I dare have this set anymore though! :) I do not know how it could be done, but it should be a way to make The Bat! not expire mail, or at least prompt you, if the time and date changes drastically from one session to another since the result may be so "dramatic". I do not "blame" The Bat! for this happening to me, but I would love the program even more (is that possible?) if it didn't let me be that foolish! :) -- Best Regards, Christian Dysthe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://christian.dysthe.tripod.com ICQ: 3945810 -- -- 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 Christian, On Friday, September 15, 2000 at 01:47:19 GMT -0500 (which was 11:47 PM where I live) witnesses say Christian Dysthe typed: snip unfortunate story of lost mail I do not know how it could be done, but it should be a way to make The Bat! not expire mail, or at least prompt you, if the time and date changes drastically from one session to another since the result may be so "dramatic". But what is dramatic? What if you just don't start up TB for a couple of weeks? (I know, nobody on this list would dare leave their e-mail for a vacation, but it could happen.) TB is just doing what you told it to do. Always remember that famous last word, backup. The only way to protect yourself sufficiently is backups. That way, you set the schedule, and you decide what's important. I do not "blame" The Bat! for this happening to me, but I would love the program even more (is that possible?) if it didn't let me be that foolish! :) Mass deletions could be treated with caution, but I think that's something the program really should not enforce on its own. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal See header for e-mail address Using The Bat! 1.46 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

Hi Januk On Sat, 16 Sep 2000 03:37:48 -0700GMT (which was 16/09/2000, 12:37 +0100GMT for me), you wrote: JA But the only way messages expire is if you purge the folder. Purging JA automatically compresses the folder as well. So... Not always: The 'purge on exit' option (in the folder-options) does not compress your folders... The 'purge all folders' option (main menu/folder) does compress them...
