Re: Filters working in v5?
Hi Vilius, Another problem with IMAP is that the messages have to actually be kept on the server. DC that's not the problem with IMAP, it's the beauty of IMAP. It's the DC whole point. This also goes into another philosophy: Do we want to keep our own data or do we want to put all our eggs in one cloud whose keepers we have to trust. The mods will slap us soon for off-topic discussions. Even if using POP, how would you know if mail server admin doesn't forward all your messages internally to his account? If you cannot trust your mail provider it doesn't matter if it's IMAP or POP. I think that the matter here was not a leak of information but rather a trust that person on the other side is reliable as a professional should be and won't make mistake while backing up and storing your our data. Such mistakes happens even to the best and as far as I remember couple years ago there was a case of AOL (if I'm not mistaken it was AOL) where they lost main data and back-up data of their customers. Anyway, not looking too far away, an example of TBBETA list shows that such thing can happen even to people that are rather pros. I do keep my back-up on two BD disks about 3 times a year (different brands) and do try to back-up TBK archive to another HDD once a month as well as I do save all sent/received e-mail as EML and my OS auto sync it daily to my third HDD at night). There is one more thing I do, 2-3 times a month I do upload encrypted with 7ZIP EML to European remote computer (used by my parents). Chances that all backups die at the same time (especially the one on remote computer are slim). Why so many HDD backups and a remote backup? Within last 4 years I had 3 HDD that died (two of them almost simultaneously ; all of them were below 2 years old) and I had to buy new ones... If I loose all of this backups I will be the ONLY to blame :) -- Best Regards, RS (FEDARA) The Bat! 5.1.2 Windows 7 x64 Professional (7601 Service Pack 1) POP3 accounts (x5) Sunday, June 17, 2012 (16:28 ; GMT+8) Current beta is 5.1.6.4 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi Dwight, On Saturday, June 16, 2012, 9:03:10 AM, RS (FEDARA) wrote: Another matter is that you need a server to store so much data and it likely to increase a cost (my e-mail box is about plus 1-1.2GB each year). I just priced a few 2T drives, and the cost per gigabite runs in the neighborhood of US$.05. I think that is about .04 Euro, or .03 pound sterling. What I ment was a cost that your provider would charge you if you re-download all data if you have IMAP (I use it on two computers so would be x2 ; plus my FTP upload/download charge). Anyway, if I keep all of that data at my provider's server it's more than a storage I have there :) As for HDD: Have three 2TB HDD (2xWD, 1xSeagate ; so far all good (about 1.5year ; on 24/7 about halt time of the year)), one 1TB (Seagate) (about 3 years old ; on 24/7 whole year ; OS HDD ; unfortunately started making strange noises last week). As mentioned in previous e-mail: one WD, one Seagate and one Samsung died within last 4 years. -- Best Regards, RS (FEDARA) The Bat! 5.1.2 Windows 7 x64 Professional (7601 Service Pack 1) POP3 accounts (x5) Sunday, June 17, 2012 (16:50 ; GMT+8) Current beta is 5.1.6.4 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
