Re: Migrating TB! to new computer
Hello Thomas, DG My objective is to do a new installation of TB!, from scratch, on a new, DG freshly formatted system ... A) Using the internal backup/restore function While still in the old system, go to Tools / Backup... and click on everything. This will create a .tbk file. ... Thanks, Thomas. System 'A' worked very well indeed.

Connection Centre and IMAP
Hi I have the Connection Centre visibility set to 'Automatic' which with my POP3 acounts works as I envisaged, i.e. it disappears when not in use. With my IMAP accounts the connection centre never hides, is this because TB is listening for new mails all the time? What is the popular setting for the connection centre with IMAP accounts? -- Best regards Barry barryh'at'kentra'dot'co'dot'uk Using TheBat! version 3.85.03 and AntispamSniper 1.6.7.3 Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: Spam mail
Hello Ian A. White everyone else, on 28-Nov-2006 at 03:22 you (Ian A. White) wrote: Maybe you need something like MailWasher. Why download the message first and then decide? With MailWasher you decide before the message is downloaded to your system, and you can preview those that might just be genuine. You don't need an external program mailwasher for that, you can use TB's mail dispatcher instead (menu Account, Dispatch Mail on Server). However, I find previewing messages both irrational and time consuming. Emails are usually rather small and thus they are quickly downloaded, usually within a couple of seconds (depending on your internet connection). It will take an equal or larger amount of time to manually evaluate the message with a preview/dispatcher function. Besides the time it takes to manually preview messages and sort them, the message headers will be downloaded anyway (with both mailwasher and the dispatcher, doesn't matter). Depending on the type of message, the header part may already be a large portion of the whole message. You can download the entire message instead and have the spam filter handle it. If you preview with Mailwasher you'll download the headers, and then invoke TB and download the headers again (plus the message body of course). A good Bayes filter will take care of the offending messages after a single training click in case it missed one. By the reports of people posting to the TB lists, I conclude that both Agava and Regula are good TB plugins. Personally, I am using K9, which is a lightweight and reliable mail proxy with bayesian analysis, but it works only with POP3 accounts. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de) Faith is a fine invention For gentlemen who see; But microscopes are prudent In an emergency. -- Emily Dickinson Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Use positive filters in TB to move desired mail to separate folders. Also add a filter to move Known mail to a Welcome folder or similar name. 2.
