That seems to be awfully long wait for a 800MHz PC. Am I wrong? If no, any suggestion to speed up that process? Interesting - I get a long dealy sometimes when a similar browse box is called when 'saving attachments' out to an external directory. I wonder if there isn't some buggy thing going on here. Is your system on a network? Yes, in the sense that it is connected to a router. But this is the only PC that is powered on; and the Export Directory is a local HD.

Re[2]: Importing Messages from Outlook Express
Hello Thomas, Thursday, December 19, 2002, 5:40:12 AM, you wrote: TF I backup from TB. Why would you need OE to do that? Is there some setting that prevents importing duplicate messages. TF For safe-keeping, back-up your mails regularly from within TB; no need TF to download them again in order to store them in another email-progam. TF Remember, if you download them twice, you will have them twice. No TF surprise. The reason I would like to use OE to download my messages is because it comes Free with Windows 98 Second Edition and is easily configurable with Hotmail. I use Hotmail so that I can access my emails when I am travelling and I can also access my pop3 email accounts via Hotmail. What do you recommend I do so that I can access my Hotmail account via The Bat!? -- Love and Light, Granvillemailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
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! Thanks to everyone at TBUDL for their help. -- Best regards, Normanmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- 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 Ming-Li, Tuesday, July 11, 2000, 3:18:11 PM, you wrote: ML 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. ML Could you be more specific? Which version of OE are you trying to ML import from (4.x or 5.x)? At which step did it go wrong? Thanks for replying. First of all it's OE 5. ML I assume you're using the Mailbox Import Wizard. After choosing OE 4 ML or 5, TB would prompt to ask where you store your mail, and then I ML should show all the mail folders (or mailboxes, I forgot the ML terminology actually used) available for import. Then you choose ML which of them to import. 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. -- Best regards, Normanmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- -- 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
