Re: Reading messagebases from a CD?
Hello Chris, I have a LOT of old mail I need to keep for a couple of years, at the moment it's just in a folder called Old mail, it's taking up a lot of space and maybe slowing TB! down, although nothing is obvious. I'd like to store it on a CD, but can I devise a means of reading and searching messages on a CD without re loading them back into TB! on the hard drive itself? Can I reply to such messages as if they were on the hard drive? I dont know, try it... But: How to speed up TB! startup dramatically by hiding old mails but keeping them always accessible: - Make a new account (AccountX) with some false email address - AccountX properties: Ignore Check all account request - Setup an access password (for example 1 :) for it) - Move your unnecessary mails to some folders of AccountX If you startup TB!, AccountX is closed, so its mails wont be loaded, so: faster startup! But whenever you need a mail from it, open it with the password and get the mail. :) -- Vili Current beta is 3.5.36 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Re[2]: Reading messagebases from a CD?
Hello Richard, V I have got some other useful tips, if you are interested :)) If they're like that last one then please share them with us if you're willing to. Hello MFPA, Some short descriptions: How to store the mails at more than one HDD/partition all the time (even if one HDD crash, absolutely no mail will be lost)? - Make a new account (AccountX) with some false email address, set the home directory on the 2nd HDD - AccountX properties: Ignore Check all account request - Setup folders in AccountX with every other account's name - Setup a filter in every other account that the incoming and outgoing mails will have a copy in the corresponding AccountX folders So, if you make frequent backups, after a HDD crash all you have to do is backup the first HDD and copy back the mails from AccountX and sort them (manually). But none of the email will be lost... After a backup, if you wish, you may delete mails from AccountX. How can more than one TB! run at the same PC without changing Windows user profiles? In the new v3 there is this reg: commandline parameter, right? But this method works with v1, also: - Lets say TB! is stored in C:\Program files\The Bat! - It has a reg key at HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat! A. So you have v1 on the PC, but you would like to try v2? - Rename C:\Program files\The Bat! to C:\Program files\The Bat!v1 - Rename (regedit, registry) HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat! to HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat!v1 - Install v2 to C:\Program files\The Bat! and try - If you would like to temporarily switch back to v1, do this: - Rename C:\Program files\The Bat! to C:\Program files\The Bat!v2 - Rename HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat! to HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat!v2 - Rename C:\Program files\The Bat!v1 to C:\Program files\The Bat! - Rename HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat!v1 to HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat! OR B. If you would like to try v2 as an non-final upgrade from v1: - Copy!! C:\Program files\The Bat! to C:\Program files\The Bat!v1 - Rename HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat! to HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat!v1 - Install v2 to C:\Program files\The Bat! (upgrade) and try - If you would like to temporarily switch back to v1, do this: - Rename C:\Program files\The Bat! to C:\Program files\The Bat!v2 - Rename HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat! to HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat!v2 - Rename C:\Program files\The Bat!v1 to C:\Program files\The Bat! - Rename HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat!v1 to HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat! To keep the mails from downloading in each version, and other small issues: I leave it for your intelligence :) How is it possible to conveniently password protect TB! startup (not using OTFE)? Generate a false AccountX as described above, and protect with a simple access password. The point is to setup an account group and make this access protected false email AccountX the administrator. So, for the startup you need the password, but you dont need to open this account over and over again when TB! is started (that is why it is better to have an AccountX as administrator than a normal, active account. If you password access an active account, you need the password once you close the active account. Yes, you need password to open AccountX, but as you dont read its mails, you dont really have to open it...) -- Vili Current beta is 3.5.36 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Hello, Vili! How to speed up TB! startup dramatically by hiding old mails but keeping them always accessible: - Make a new account (AccountX) with some false email address - AccountX properties: Ignore Check all account request - Setup an access password (for example 1 :) for it) - Move your unnecessary mails to some folders of AccountX Here is another way: I use some scripts to start TB, here is example. So I can start TB with different sets of mailboxes easyly. == Dim accounts(3) accounts(1) = [EMAIL PROTECTED] accounts(2) = [EMAIL PROTECTED] accounts(3) = [EMAIL PROTECTED] set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject(WScript.Shell) tb_exe = WSHShell.RegRead(HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat!\EXE path) for i = 1 to UBound(accounts) WSHShell.RegWrite HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat!\Users Depot\User # i, accounts(i) WSHShell.RegWrite HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat!\Users Depot\Dir # i, next WSHShell.RegWrite HKCU\Software\RIT\The Bat!\Users Depot\Count, UBound(accounts), REG_DWORD WSHShell.Run tb_exe == -- Ivan The Bat! 3.5.35 on Windows XP 5.1.2600 Plugins: rss2mail 1.3; Protocols: multiple POP3 on LAN/Dial-up Current beta is 3.5.36 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
