Hallo Avram,

Are those pop3 or imap accounts?
In case they're imap accounts, you could consider deleting the imap
cache.
You're using v4.2.44. Have you considered upgrading to v5.0.36 that's
the last version that should work with a v4 license.

Is the laptop that accesses the same message base using the same
version?
It's using the same message base, is that by using the same mail
directory or is it using a local mail directory with some extra
pointing to specific account folders?

Hello Roelof,

Thanks for your response.  See my comments below

These are pop3 accounts

Thanks.  I hadn't considered it, but I will now. :-)

Yes

RO It's using the same message base, is that by using the same mail
RO directory or is it using a local mail directory with some extra
RO pointing to specific account folders?

I am not sure. I thought it was using the same message base.  But, concurrent 
with this problem, I have observed that one subfolder in each of two separate 
mail accounts show zero messages on the laptop, while the thousands of 
messages in these subfolders are all in place on the desktop computer.   Could 
that be a sign that a local mail directory is used, with extra pointers to 
specific folders?   If so, how do I fix this?

From time to time I get messages left in the inbox, or sometimes moved 
to the wrong folder by the filters. I have not been able to find any 
pattern to this at all.



 Clearly, there is nothing wrong with the filter: use of
 the re-filter tool ultimately results in proper
 distribution of the messages.  

Same here.



 Could the problem
 possibly be related to there only being 1.25 GB of
 useable free space remaining on the hard drive, or, is
 some other issue causing this problem?  

My mail is on a 10 GB partition that currently reports 2.49 GB free 
space.

Inbox Filter works sometimes

2012-10-23 Thread Robert D.
This is very, very annoying.
One of my three accounts refuses to filter All of the messages which
come in. Some are left in the Inbox until I select Folder/Re-Filter .
Then the remaining move to respective common folders.

I ee no common fault in the construction of each of ten filters in the
affected Account. I use the same three or four filters in many, many
other Inbox filters. For example IF Header-Field has X-Original-To = to
TBUDL then move to common folder Bat ... just for-example

My point is thse filters work sometimes and other times they fail until a
re-filter.

No filters contain Continue On ... . All are set for Inbox

Using Ver 5.2

How do you get The Bat! under Wine to use GnuPG?

2012-10-23 Thread MFPA
Hi

I'm thinking of switching my PC to Linux, and as I have been unable to 
find a decent Linux email client, I am experimenting with using Wine 
to run The Bat! on my Linux partition.

Can anybody who already runs The Bat! under Wine on Linux tell me how
to get TB! to use GnuPG? Is there a way to get The Bat! under Wine to
use the GnuPG already present on my Linux installation, or do I need
to add the Windows GnuPG.exe to Wine's PATH environment variable?

Wine version 1.3.28
Lubuntu version 11.10
The Bat! version 4.0.38
GnuPG version 1.4.11 on my Linux partition, 1.4.12 on Windows

I appreciate this is slightly off-topic, being properly a question 
about Wine rather than about The Bat!.
