Fastmail IMAP
Hello Tbbeta, I was looking through FastMail's blog this AM and came across the following. http://blog.fastmail.fm/2009/05/01/help-test-proxy-to-improve-imap-performance/ So far using this proxy (mentioned lower in the article) I am seeing the following results. Raw data 202.6 KB Compressed data 21.2 KB Approx 90% savings Not sure how this translates into real world performance, but it is interesting none the less. Also Ritlabs, you may want to look into this and the rest of the article. Seeing as you are looking into IMAP now and want to be on the cutting edge. :) -- Best regards, Stuart mailto:scu...@mts.net Using The Bat! v4.2.6 On Windows XP 5.1 Build #2600 Current beta is 4.2.7.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
New install, restoring (old) backup, problem with sending mail
It is the second case I observed it at a user, it seems to be reproducible: - v4.0: make a backup - remove v4.0 - install v4.1 or v4.2 - restore the backup - send some mails, everything looks ok - restart TB - sent mails after the restore are NOT in the Sent mail folder - compose a mail, try to send it from the mal composing screen immediately - error: Cannot export mail - close the mail composing screen (put the letter in the Outbox) - go to the Main screen. The mail is in the Outbox, so send it from the main screen. It works, and after it you can even send mails from the mail composing window, TB is cured. What bothers me is that users lose mails... It mus be connected somehow to the new index file, I guess. I will test it further. Please confirm it. PS: Is it normal that I made a support ticket into the official Ritlabs support system (about MAPI) and after 4 days of internal ping-pong (you do it, no, you do it) still no answer? What is your experience, if any? I try to help my users immediately or max 1 day. Am I overzealous? -- Vili Current beta is 4.2.7.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

You should be prompted about this. -- Bye Marek Mikus Czech support of The Bat! http://www.thebat.cz Using the best The Bat! 4.2.7.1 under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 with MyMacros,XMP,AnotherMacros, AntispamSniper v 3.2.1.1 Notebook Toshiba, Core2 Duo 1.83 GHz, 4 GB RAM Current beta is 4.2.7.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

You should be prompted about this. I dont remember a prompt. Maybe it said something but allowed the restore. Answers... as a programmer: come on. Dont allow it then! Dont just use a prompt. as a distributor: Another thing that should be fixed before delayed sending, etc. implemented.

Functionality of Synchronise in Maintenance Centre
Hello All. Am I alone in thinking that the Synchronise function does not behave correctly? It is my opinion that synchronisation should merge two legitimate message databases, and produce a legitimate version which will contain any changes made in both original versions. An example might help!! I log in to The Bat on my PC in the morning, read messages and reply to a few. During the day I use Voyager on a memory stick and read any new messages etc. On the way home during a long train journey I tidy up the folders deleting some messages. On my return home, the Synchronise function works - apart from re constituting the messages that I'd deleted when I tidied the folders. In database synchronisation the function is based on the time-stamps of each transaction. Shouldn't it be the same with the Bat. I deliberately deleted many messages at 3pm, so why were these folders repopulated with the contents as at 9am. If I had wanted to recover from a damaged message base, that's what Backup and Restore are for. On a very positive note, I'm finding Voyager much more reliable than previous versions - I no longer need a backup EMail system as I'm now confident in The Bat/Voyager combination..
