Re: New email address, same account

My question is: is it possible to have emails from 2 different email addresses go into the same account? If your old address is with a public email provider, you could probably also set up a POP3 collection, so that it gets the mail from the new account (or wise versa). You would then have to only download mail from one and get both. If you enter your templates to use the appropriate address as sender, e.g. new mail always gets the new address, replies get their original to-address, your contacts won't even notice if you don't tell them. Of course, this is not an option if you're switching addresses because the old one is full of spam.

Make The Bat! default email application
'Ello TBUDL, In Windows XP's 'Set Program Access and Defaults' options I am unable to set The Bat! as the system default email program simply because it does not show up as an option in the list. The implications are that whenever I use the option to email files from within Windows or applications such us OOo 3.1 or Office 2007 no file is attached and OOo at least warns that it can't a default email configuration. The email client loads with a new message window but nothing is attached. I used to be able to do this. It has become very annoying and slows me down. -- Simon (Privateofcourse) #21088.

E.g In OpenOffice I click the 'Send Document as email button' and TB! loads but no document is attached and the following dialog warning appears after closing the message Window: OpenOffice.org was unable to find a Working email configuration In Windows 'My Documents' folder, selecting a file and choosing to send it by email does the same as above but provides no dialog box informing of failure. It's a feature that I used to use a lot and now that I can't use it it's driving me bonkers. -- Simon (Privateofcourse) #25957. Ore Ode Nigh Wsw? ¶ Auxiliary Information: • The Bat!

E.g Well, my first try would be to go the TB's Preferences in the Applications section and check the box next to mailto: - the URL for creatng mail messages and then click Associate now. Of course, I'm running TB v2.11 so you'll have to adapt these instructions to your version. If that does not fix it, I can run through my next step: updating the mailto: URL info using the Windows Explorer Tools menu. -- Bill McQuillan bill.mcquil...@pobox.com Using The Bat! 2.11 on Windows XP 5.1 build 2600-Service Pack 2 Current version is 4.2.10.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

It's not the mailto:URL that is the problem. It's the MAPIMAIL problem! All applications Open TB! with a new message just fine, but without any chosen attachement(s). I resetup Outlook Express and made it the default email client. Then emailed files from within applications and from other XP locations and no problem whatsover. OE shows attachments just fine. But as soon as I launch TB! and reassociate it and make it the default email client I am unable to add attachments to the newly created email. In Firefox I can send a link and the TB! message created includes the link, but that is a different process, and not attaching files. So, does everyone else's setups work okay then? -- Simon (Privateofcourse) # 7682. Go In Resew Dhow? ¶ Auxiliary Information: • The Bat!
