Re: Using TB! as a mail server?
Hello Mark, On Thu, 13 Apr 2000 at 10:55:19 [GMT +0100], you wrote: MRH My question is therefore, is there anyway to setup TB!

I believe you are referencing the how-to on setting up TB as a *mailing list* server. This is quite a bit different than having a mail server. There are a few ways in which you could sort-of do what you are asking. 1. By far the easiest, is to use an IMAP compliant mail server for your messages. While TB v1.x doesn't quite support IMAP fully, I have found it sufficient for my needs. Unfortunately, this would be a problem because you said that you have multiple accounts set up to collect your mail from different places to put into the main account. 2. Enable the "keep messages on server" in the account properties at both home and work. This will let you get your mail at work and at home. What you will want to do then is to set up an incoming filter on the home machine with an action of "delete message from server" option enabled. You will have to fiddle around with the filter string, but it shouldn't be too hard. This option also does not help with the multiple account set-up you have. 3. Set up a filter to forward or redirect all incoming mail on your work machine to send to your home e-mail address. This one does address your multi-account set-up, but you will have to most likely include the forwarding/redirect filter in each account. I haven't tested it, but if TB considers moved messages to one account from another account as an incoming message, then you might be able to get away with just having the forward/redirect filter in the main account. I doubt it though. 4. Set up a filter that exports each incoming message to a designated folder, and then ftp those exported messages from home and import them into TB. You'll have to set up this filter for each account you have. With exception to option 1, these aren't the greatest ideas. However, this is what option 1 was designed for; to be able to access your mailbox(s) with all its messages from multiple computers.

Same holds true for a messages sent from one account and BCC'ed to itself: when the BCC copy arrives, it's an incoming message and the filters work. Since I BCC all my private mail to myself when I send from my office computer, I have a "delete message/mark message as read" incoming filter on my office computer for the BCC copies. On the home machine, they are treated as incoming mails and sorted into the appropriate folders. You wouldn't know the difference if they were sent by that machine and sorted into the folder by an outgoing folder. LG then you might be able to get away with just having the LG forward/redirect filter in the main account. I doubt it though. -- Cheers, Thomas.

Re[2]: Using TB! as a mail server?
Leif, Regarding your message dated: Thursday, April 13, 2000... LG I believe you are referencing the how-to on setting up TB as a LG *mailing list* server. This is quite a bit different than having a LG mail server. Actually, what I had seen was the settings option available under... Options/Network Administration/ (main TB! Window) where you can setup a machine as either... 1: Workstation with TCP/IP. *** what I currently use *** 2: TCP/IP or Dial out server. *** the option I saw *** 3: Non-TCP/IP Workstation. (You also set this when installing TB! as I recall) Although I doubted it I thought it might be cool if TB! could act as it's own 'virtual mail server' (for want of a better expression) whereby I could perhaps remotely login to TB! running on my office machine at work in order to access the TB! accounts (which access my chosen email accounts) I have there. I imagined this as a kind of fudge instead of using IMAP to access my actual email accounts. This whole affair was initiated when I was working from home recently and I wanted to check a message I had received some weeks earlier. Despite a fastidious use of filing to keep my messages sorted (~80 folders, ~80 filters although not a 1-to-1 correlation there actually) I was annoyed to find that the message base file for the mail folder I was after was some 10mb in size which over a 56K connection is too painful to bear. I ended up having to login to a unix box at work, (since my machine has no telnet server running) and ftp the message base file from the PC to the unix box (quite quick with an intranet) at which point I could then access the file using the command-line viewers. (less/more, take your pick.) Strangely I did not consider this ideal. Anyway... Thanks for the comprehensive reply by the way. The advice was appreciated because it gave me some ideas for the coming months. I currently keep all my mail on the office machine (since it has the better network connection) and I use the 'leave on server' option when I check mail from remote locations such as home. I'm thinking about all these issues now in anticipation of moving on from my present position in the fall at which point I'll need to 'gather up my possessions.' The most likely route to completely satisfy that right now would be a wholesale copy of my account folders onto another machine (say at home...) in which case I hope we get writable DVD here in the office before I go... Hope that wasn't too much like rambling...

Using TB! as a mail server?
Hi TBUDL, I have noted that TB! can be used as a mail server and I wondered if the possible situation could be solved by using TB! in the following way. I use TB! from work and have one main account which I use for all my email. (I setup other accounts to simply feed into this one main account.) I have my own machine at work so I can happily leave TB! on when I leave at night. If I spend a day out of the office and wish to check my account I can generally do this so long as I closed TB! (or stopped it offloading messages from our server via POP3) before I left the office. However, I have no access then to my stored messages in the account used by TB! and FTP access to the raw TB! files is painful over a modem connection when the message bases are quite large files. My question is therefore, is there anyway to setup TB! (using this server mode) that would allow me to use TB! as a client away from the office and access my message bases held on my office machine?
