RE: moving mail account from one user acct to another user acct
Hi, Roelof, In response to my question about moving a mail account from one user's windows account to another user's window's account on the same computer, you wrote: 1.

However, I don't know how to set the mail directory to user B's mail directory. Can you elaborate? Secondly, what will be the practical consequence of setting the mail directory to user B's mail directory: Once I create new accounts in the instance of The Bat! that is running in user A's Windows account with the same name as they have for user B, does that then mean that both User A and User B will be able to see the same mail from within their own Window's user account?

RE: moving mail account from one user acct to another user acct
Hi, Luc, You responded to my question concerning the transfer of one mail account into another instance of the The Bat running in a separate Window user's account, and explained what Roelof meant by setting a mail directory to another's user's mail directory by writing : Options --- preferences --- System. That's where you define the mail directory. Thank you very much! I am at the office now, and am unable to do this at the moment, since I run The Bat on my home computer. However I will try out your suggestion when I get home. -- Your answer leads me to another question about using The Bat! on home networks which could be a separate thread, but which I will include here, for now: Last April I tried to set The Bat! up on a home network. Because I did not intend to keep mail on the mail server indefinitely, I used POP3 rather than IMAP, but set the mail server instructions to keep mail on the server for at least 14 days--long enough for mail to be downloaded on to both machines. The system was imperfect, however, since it meant cc'ing outgoing messages to myself to make sure I had a copy on both computers. Ultimately, the system would only work for mail on my own private domain. The system did not work for Gmail mail. Once one computer downloaded gmail mail, the other computer would no longer be able to download it. However, your answer, above gave me an idea. It seems to me that rather than try and create a self-contained version of my e-mail on both computers, perhaps it would be better to have one computer see the other computer's mail directory. (We will just lose some e-mail functionality while on vacation with the laptop, since new mail would only be available via webmail.) If I want more than one computer on a network to access the same mail directory, so that either computer user can read, compose, and delete mail, would I use Options --- preferences --- System on the second computer's running of The Bat! to point to the originating directory on the first computer?
