Couldn't you use Allie's suggestion, but export all unread messages first (filter before exporting), import them into your new folder (may take a few exports), *then* mark them all read. After that, change your previous filter and export all read messages. -- Ken Green Using The Bat! v2.10.03 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 4 Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
POP - IMAP Migration
Hi, Has anyone here been able to copy their messages from an old POP account to an IMAP server? I can't seem to be able to do it. I tried when tb! 2.0 first came out, and couldn't get it to work, so I filed a bug report, which was then closed saying that it works. But if I go to my old POP account, select all the messages and Copy to a new folder on my IMAP account, not all of the messages get copied. I got a little further by modifying all of my old filters to do a Copy to, but even this doesn't always copy all the messages. It's not a quota issue, since I don't have quotas enabled. And I don't think it's a speed issue, since the IMAP server is connected to the same switch as my workstation (and just to make sure, I let it try to copy for an hour, and nothing more was copied). Furthermore, tb! doesn't pop up anything saying that it's copying the files, so I really have no indication of where it is in the process. Anyway, I have about 1,500 emails that I would like to put on my IMAP server so I can access them from anywhere. If anyone has any hints on how to get this done, please let me know.

If anyone has any KJM hints on how to get this done, please let me know. I suggest trying an export and import operation. Another option would be to do a series of copy operations, copying 150-200 messages at a time. I've been where you are and it would seem that TB! chokes on moving/copying a large number of messages from POP to IMAP or the reverse. I know this is tedious but this is how IMAP is with regards to TB! at the moment, i.e., often an exercise in tedium because of bugs etc. Good Luck! -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.10.03 on WinXP Pro (SP1) pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: POP - IMAP Migration
Hi Allie, Thanks for the response, although it wasn't quite what I was hoping for. I tried exporting my messages as mbox files and loading them with Mail.app (which has better IMAP support), but found that the read flag values weren't maintained. Do you know of a workaround for this? Thanks, Kevin Allie Martin wrote: I suggest trying an export and import operation.

Do you know KJM of a workaround for this? When you do an export, the read flagging is lost. But that's not really a problem since you can easily mark them read after importing by right clicking the destination folder and marking all messages read. -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.10.03 on WinXP Pro (SP1) pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
