archiving
Hi tbudl, I am new to the bat! and to this email list. hopefully I am emailing the right place. I was wondering about different ways of archiving email but still being able to search access the email itself. I came from Eudora and used to keep around 120 thousand emails, but trimed it all back to around 7 thousand before importing it over to the bat! I used to just copy Eudora email to another location to simply start up the second copy to search older email. and keep a zipped up copy as well. I have not tried this with the bat! as yet. So all suggestions on the way you guys handle backup copies of your email is appreciated. thanks. -- Best regards, Razgo http://music.razgo.commailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

MDP Some use Mailbag Assistant by Fookes (is that it?) to manage their MDP email archives. As for me, I keep everything in TB. I have more than MDP 250,000 messages on file and TB's searching capabilities make it a MDP joy to use. well this is good news. it sounds like the bat! handles large volumes of email very efficiently. MDP One thing I do is to shift older messages from high traffic folders MDP into archive folders within the folder tree to keep them out of the thanks for the tips. much appreciated. I still have lots to learn about the bat, but I guess thats because there is just so much to this email programme.

JN Razgo, JN I think you've heard most of the better ideas, including Allie's JN interesting method of using a scheduled archive operation. I thought JN I'd add my method into the mix because it overlaps in part some JN previous ideas and in part is different. thanks for taking the time to respond. JN For several reasons, I don't like to keep more mail in the program JN than I need to, so I try to keep the message base in TB! pretty small. yes I would normally do this also to keep system resources as free as possible. however I discovered the bat! uses much less than my Eudora programme did. currently the bat! is using 5% and Eudora is using 13%, and thats a huge difference. JN So periodically I append the messages in some of my TB! folders into JN Mailbag Assistant's native archive format. You could develop a script JN to do that automatically, but I don't know how and don't have the need JN to learn. The TB! message base can be saved in Mailbag Archive's JN native format or as Unix file formatted files or as (I think) text JN files. The advantages to using this program include compression and JN sophisticated search, print, and database operations (and you can JN reply from within the program via MAPI). ok this sounds good. JN However, I also archive certain email on the fly. For those messages, JN I have filters set up which automatically append the message onto a JN Unix-formatted file. yes, this is something I will have to learn how to do and put into practise. JN I can't say that my practices are any better than the other JN suggestions you've received, they're just what I've worked out for my JN purposes, which are to keep certain types of messages both archived JN and accessible, and to have a program or format which can be used JN seamlessly with different email programs. thanks for the tips. I have many options now to consider. thank you all. -- Best regards, Razgomailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

LT Hi Razgo - LT Did you find it difficult to set up and use? hi Lynn, like all new software it was a little daunting at first. the immediate setting up of accounts was quick, and i went straight for the filters. they didn't appear to work at first, (i was using the demo at the time), and i'm not sure what went wrong, but after looking at it a bit more on how it works they all started working. for me, as soon as I saw I could have seperate inbox/outbox etc for each account i set up, i went and purchased it. that alone sold me :) and was one of my gripes with other email clients that didn't have this capability. I have only been using it now for a few weeks and am still learning all the features. In fact I told a friend of mine about the bat! as he is an email fanatic like myself. I am just waiting for him to abuse me now as he will probably go and purchase it also :) -- Best regards, Razgomailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 1.61 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re[2]: file not found thebat.ipc
R and can this function be turned off? Marck No. But then checking a file once every 10 seconds is not a Marck particularly heavy overhead. Unless you're running from a floppy Marck drive. R is it a needed function? Marck Yes. R i don't understand the purpose of it. Marck I hope that helps clear it up a bit for you. yes it is much clearer now, thanks. however it's not about how much cpu this function uses but rather it's a function in my email client that i have no control over. to me it just doesn't feel right that i can't make the bat! sit there idle and only do things when i want it to do it. i know this is probably a whole new topic, but where/how can i go about putting in a request/wish? for this function to be an option rather than a needed function that i am clearly not using, yet i have no choice in it checking something that doesn't exist? thanks.

R yes it is much clearer now, thanks. however it's not about how R much cpu this function uses but rather it's a function in my R email client that i have no control over. Marck ... maybe, but it does no harm, takes no CPU and doesn't affect you Marck in any other way than in the back of your mind :-). it may do no harm but yes it does use cpu and it does start up every ten sec's. how much cpu and what it does is not the issue. the issue is as i have already stated. that is the bat! is performing a useless function every ten sec's, yet i have no control over it? that in my eyes is an issue regardless of it being harmless or not. R to me it just doesn't feel right that i can't make the bat! sit R there idle and only do things when i want it to do it. Marck ... for that kind of usage, there's no need to have it taking up Marck valuable RAM. Just load it when you need it :-/. that's not a solution to the problem, but thanks anyway. R i know this is probably a whole new topic, but where/how can i go R about putting in a request/wish? Marck This kind of issue is handled in the beta testing area.

R for this function to be an option rather than a needed function R that i am clearly not using, yet i have no choice in it checking R something that doesn't exist? Marck Like I say, I think you're making too much of it. It's no overhead Marck and does no harm. But if you want to post a wish on the Marck Wishlist/Bugtraq, now's probably as good a time as any, with V2 Marck about to go into beta testing. i'm making too much of it? for who? as a paying customer i think it's ok for me to find out why my email programme is continually looking for something that doesn't exist. i think i am being totally fair in my requests here. it was a fair question which i think many would have wanted to know the answer to this and why it continues. thank you for your help. russ Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
