Hi Colin,

That´s why you should setup your own SMTP server. That way you can collect
mail fom any account and just use your own server to send it.

It is ideal for road warriors but also for people with many email accounts.

There you go, its NOT just me who might find this useful :-)

Go to each account in your list - right click / properties

Under templates / reply, add this as the first line...

%account="Pipex"

...if the reply account you want to use is called "Pipex" - rename as
appropriate

Rather than having to do this for all email addresses though, wouldn`t
it perhaps be a little more friendly (and sensible) to have a "use
this account for all replies" option ? - I didn`t know about how to
use the macros, and I doubt the majority of users even know they
exist.

Exactly what is written above: Open the template you want to edit
(i.e. account templates) and add the line "%ACCOUNT=[put in desired
account name]", where the part in parenthesis is a placeholder for
your desired account's name. Leave out the inverted commas.

Hello Colin,

part):

So why not setting all SMTP servers in all accounts to the one of
your ISP if you're only allowed to send using this one SMTP server?

BTW: No, I don't think this hits "lots of people", in fact I get the
impression it's a decreasing number of people allowed to send only
using their ISP but having account spread all over the world.
As additionally there is a relative easy solution: adding
'%ACCOUNT="..."' to each's account global templates I don't really see
the need for a 'Always use this account for every new mail or reply,
no matter which account is is created from' option. This can easily
achieved by entering the same SMTP settings for all account (as
suggested) and if the address should be the same all the time by
setting all account to same e-mail address as well (so the only
difference would be POP3 settings). This way one would have a kind of
POP3 collector, (nearly) fixed to one outgoing e-mail address.

Probably you did not marked the "Share with other accounts" option in
Quick Templates editor. Check this and it will work.

I have just this in a QT called Al,

Still when I type Al in body of message and press ctrl-space nothing
happens.
What more is required?

You need a "%" before the macro name:

Whenever I type Al in account body just the email gets printed there in
message body itself.
Inshort, it acts like an abbrevation and not as macro.

What is the solution to this?

Here`s what I think might be a more simplistic question on the same
sort of subject... I have 8 accounts* with different ISPs and would
like to nominate an account for all replies to be sent from,
irrespective of which account the mail was sent to, without me having
to piddle about copying and pasting from the original email to a new
reply.

I have a feeling that`s a function a lot of people would find useful,
as many of us who`ve been on the net for a number of years have
multiple accounts but can only send from their present ISP.

Any thoughts ? Is it already available as an option that I missed ?

*one still isn`t holding the server login details for some reason,
but it sees almost zero traffic :-}

Finally...

Now this is being mirrored to a newsgroup, would it be possible to
protect email addresses / strip the headers before it hits the
newsgroup to cut down on the level of spam harvesting ?

So far, my present account has been fairly clean, and I really don`t
want to see it broadcast to a non-subscription group for publication

Cheers

Roelof explained it quite good, but the example is missing.. you would
create a QT in the QT editor (ctrl-shift-q or through the menu) and
name it 'A1' (for 'Account 1') and simply put a line like this into
it:
->8
ACCOUNT="Accountname"
->8
where Accountname should be the name of the account you want to send
from.

Then, while writing the message just type A1 (with surrounding
whitespace) and hit ctrl-space. this should do the same as chosing the
account from Options/Active account.

In the message window, go to options|Active Account.  If you do this
before you have entered any of your own text into the message,
the footer will change to the one associated with Account B, if there
is one.

You could also do this with a QT, and associate it with a key
combination, which would make it even easier.

using different smtps

[K Shantanu]

Hi,
I have 2 accounts in The Bat! say A and B. They both use different
SMTPs. Now I get a mail on account A and I want to forward it to a
friend but using the identity as B and SMTP of B. I can use the identity
of B using the pull down menu for From: , but how to change SMTPs?
Right now I drag the mail from A's Outbox and put it in B's one and then
send. Is there any easier way for this?

Thanks in advance and bye.
