I used the program even before I used The Bat, clear back in days of
using Eudora.  It also syncs several other programs, including my
calendar program, a collection of personal files, work files, and so
forth.  The folder in question runs about 3GB.  In fact, when started
using the Directory Toolkit it was probably under Win95 and know the
stuff I synced fit on a 3.5 floppy.  Then I moved to CDR, then to
flash drive and/or external USB.  Generally do it with a 4gb flash.

As noted, probably using a version of it for ten years or more.  It
will do a lot of other useful things as well, and well worth the 25
bucks I think it is now.

I'm either syncing to an external drive or to a network drive, so no
firewall issues.  Don't recall if ever used it with Remote Desktop.

Sure.  It copies over all the settings in the directory.  It appears
that some settings are written to registry, but everything related to
your mail files is just fine.

> How long have you been using the program?

Forever.  :-)

There is a shareware version you  can download and try if you want,
so take a bit of time with it and see if it is worth springing for
the "big dollars".

Does Rick's solution actually fixes the [delete]-key not working as
well as the grayed out icons? This has not happened for me for some
weeks now (I think, not sure though). I allways just restart TheBat, which 
works well.

I'm downloading from that site now.  The latest version.  Assume that
when install it it will install over the other and know that it is
still paid for (just like TheBat does).

If there is a sniper toolbar, I sure don't see it.  I have added the
'mark as junk' and 'mark as not junk' buttons to my toolbar long ago.

Also, related to updates, I've set options in the bat to check on
startup for both regular and beta updates, but it hasn't notified me
of .18, .20, or .20.1.  Is there a problem?

Did you ever try the  synchronize feature in The Bat?  Why do you use
this program rather than The Bat's own synchronizing feature?

This program sounds great, particularly since I would like to do with
another application (Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements) what
I would like to do with the Bat.   How long have you been using it, and
do you encounter any firewall issues with it?  

When the program sunchronizes with The Bat, will it automatically
reflect that a message read on the first computer appears as "read" on
the second computer?

How long have you been using the program?

This reminds me of my need for an updated version of the paid
AntiSpamSniper, which is over a year old and is something like 2.5
and often works overtime and is a bit funky.

If someone could tell me where to get the latest update/patch, I'd
appreciate it.

One other thought:   I keep two computers synchronized daily, morning
and night, by using a little program (25 bucks I think) called
Directory Toolkit.  It does a host of other things, but I use it to
synchronize a directory called "all my stuff" from one computer to
another.  I install TheBat!, all of its files, and half a dozen other
programs into that directory.  Then the program syncs from one to the
other.  You can do it with drives on one mapped to the other on the
network, or more frequently I just do it with my flash drive or other
external USB drive.  It is also handy way to synchronize to a backup
drive.  I always have it set to add new files, delete ones no longer
on the source, and update all that need updating.  It saves lots of
time since it only updates that small percentage that need it.

There could also be an AntispamSniper rule that is taking precedent
over your non-spam rule.  For example, an address that you've
inadvertently marked as black will be filtered out as spam even though
you've marked the mail's contents as non-spam.  I'm not sure what
happens if a sender's address appears in both the Friendly Addresses
and Blacklisted Senders lists.  Try checking your AntispamSniper log
to identify the rule that marked the mail as spam.

If all else fails, you might need to clear the AntispamSniper database
and start anew.

I have been using AntiSpamSniper 2.6.1.2 for quite a while and never
had such issues. Maybe it is a good idea to update, as Marek

Are you sure it is ASS and not a filter, possibly an old filter that you deleted
a long time ago, or thought you had. This happened to me the other day and when
I investigated it was an old common filter that had not worked for ages, but
with the release of 4.0.20 it seems to have reactivated.

AntiSpamSniper is working over-time. I recently enabled my mail from
TBUDL after not receiving mail for a long time. Now, I've noticed

three messages from him from April 1 ended up in Junk. Before I
marked them as Not Junk, I verified that Rick is in the list of

Any wisdom about this problem?

No, synchronization works with POP, it is not necessary with IMAP.

Not sure what you mean here as your original hypothesis was wrong.

Yes this should work.

Two different things. Either you use the mail directory on the desktop as your
main directory in which case when you travel your laptop would not be able to
find it, or you let the laptop create its own directory for mail and then when
you want to go travelling you copy the mail directory from the desktop. Neither
of these would work well as when you travel messages that you download on the
road would not end up back on your desktop.

See above.

See above.

Just as an aside, IMAP is not particularly slow, and really is best for what
you are trying to do. Having said that I don't think IMAP in TB! is quite ready
enough for the business environment.  Again to test this for yourself, sign up
for a free account with fastmail.fm and subscribe to The Bat lists with that
account. You can then see how it works.

Having said that I would still think that BCCing yourself and leaving messages 
on
the server until downloaded by the laptop would be your best bet.
