Upgrade Differences
Hi All, I just found on version 5.8.8 that I couldn't click on links and have them open in browser as usual. So I upgraded The Bat! but now can't get my original skin/color scheme. I see no choice of skins and don't like this glaring white. But the links work! Any ideas? Also, there is a smiley face at the beginning of this message that I would rather not have there. What's that about?

Re: Incoming mail size?
Hello Jack, Friday, April 10, 2015, 4:44:19 PM, you wrote: Hello TBUD Listers, Is there a limit on the size of incoming emails set by TB? I recently had sent to me a couple of emails each of which contained about 15MB worth of attachments. TB choked and wouldn't download any of the emails from the server because of this. I had to go to my ISPs server and manually download each attachment so that I could delete those two emails from the server. Once that was done TB was able to fetch the remaining emails. I checked settings and properties everywhere I could find but saw nothing pertaining to any limit on email size. I have never noticed a size limit; however, I use IMAP.

Re: Common Folder message total exceeds Preference limitations
Hello RD, Wednesday, October 22, 2014, 4:17:48 PM, you wrote: 6.6 and 7601 Rick might have written: Are you running the Maintenance center? Try that and see if it cleans it up I just ran it. This was a horrible experience. MC recovered emails from a couple thousand back. When I delete then, they re-appear in the same folder, in this case Inbox. I had a problem some time ago with emails that would not delete - they always came back to haunt me. I can't remember exactly, but here is what I do remember about getting rid of them. First I went to Manage IMAP folders and found the size of the recurring emails. Then I closed The Bat! and went to User/AppData/Roaming/TheBat!/IMAP for the particular account. I experimentally deleted what I thought was the email, keeping it in the Recycle Bin until I knew everything was okay. In my case, it was not a bunch of emails, so it may be harder or easier for you.

Where do I find the mess in this instance. Thanks, Hello Leonard, My default mode for finding any such issues is to run a Malwarebytes scan on the computer. One of the things I've noticed in The Bat! is that accessing AOL mail gives a message of an invalid certificate, but I've always ignored the message. However, for the first time yesterday, I received a clearly virus-laden (via a link) email which claimed to be sent from my AOL account to two other unrelated email addresses that I own and one other email address of a correspondent of mine. I visited AOL mail online and found that the email had been sent from my account, so I changed my password at AOL and scanned both of my computers. I had no invaders, so I think it is either a hacking of my AOL account or something related to Facebook, since I used the AOL address there. I changed that and will be closely monitoring the mail account.Malwarebytes free software has solved any invader-related issues I've had from time to time over the years, and I download it upon getting a new computer so that I am prepared.
