Re: Copying to new machine w/Vista

Make a full backup of TB! using the internal backup function. TF Click all options under Tools / Backup. - snip - Many thanks Thomas. Your suggestion seemed *slightly* easier (simpler to my addled brain) compared to Roelof's so I tried it your way. Everything seemed to work ok except apparently the backup doesn't copy the address books. Strange. I had to go back into the old machine to find and copy them separately. I then transferred them to the new machine without any problems. My wife is not as picky about how TB! operates as am I so she isn't bothered by stuff that would annoy the hell out of me. I may take Roelof's suggestion to upgrade to v4 on her machine however. In retrospect, Dan's suggestion might have worked better had I looked at it closer. In any case, she's up and running and that's all she cares about. I did find a problem(?) with transferring K9 over to her machine. Everything transferred ok including a separate copy of K9's large storage of emails but I never could get K9 to recognize that those emails were there. It just means that she'll have to re-educate K9 all over again but since neither of us has been receiving spam to the degree we were when I installed K9, it shouldn't be a problem. So, alls well that ends well. Thanks to all that helped in this endeavor. -- Best regards, Jackmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Now running TB! v3.99.3 from Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 - Service Pack 3 Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Reply/macro/filter issue
Hello Everyone, I raised this issue before and while I understand the cause now, I have not yet fully solved the problem. Here is my problem: One of my contact is using the same email address @xyztrading.com with different prefixes (not sure why). So while most of his emails come in as [EMAIL PROTECTED], some are received as [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have set up my system to reply with a macro along the lines Dear %ABOFromFName, which should lead to Dear Paul, ... However each time I receive a new email from the _paul or paul-xyz addresses, they also end in my address book as new addresses and lead to the reply to be created as Dear _Paul or Dear Paul-XYZ. So, I either need to amend the salutation manually or go into the addressbook to remove the duplicate entry for Paul (it's duplicate as the email address is always the same, just the way it appears changes with the various prefixes). How do I manage this issue on my side without telling Paul to stop annoying me? -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 3.99.29 on XP Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

How can the following three email addresses be called same: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To me they look like three distinct email addresses. -- Best regards, Mean Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
