Aw: Dozens of copies saved on draft

Hi Stefan, when I create a message, the bat saves it in different stages of editing in the same folder I create it. Sometimes I work on a message for relatively a long time (let's say 30-60 minutes), so I end up with literally dozens of copies in my folder. Which, I must say, it's pretty

Hi Jack, do not create the folder with TB!. Instead create the folder and copy the messages.tbb into that folder. Now use the shortcut. -- Cheers, Raymund pgpJs5JSy_0Rx.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL'

Re: Upgrading to win 8 questions

Hi Rick, RT That might be a problem. But only if both users are logged in at the RT time. Which will likely happen with the shiny new device... Thanks for the reply! Is there any downside to operating on the same mail folder as long as we are not both accessing it at the same time? No. I

Hi Melissa, I am upgrading to 64 bit Windows 8. If you want an upgrade at this point, I might recommend you move to Windows 7. I use Windows 8 since more than a year and the missing start menu is something that isn't missing after a week or so. And the system boots quicker, reacts

Moin Rick, I am upgrading to 64 bit Windows 8. Any advice or things I should watch for? Nothing special. If you want to use File History make sure to put the mail base into documents and not into %APPDATA%. If possible I am going to use 2 logins (one for my wife). You really should

Re: Wierd sorting

Hi Wolfgang, use the Add/Remove programms feature of Windows or use the MSI file to uninstall That works, but keep in mind that going back to 4.2.44 will have an impact on the mail base as mails received by TB!5 are stored with UTC time and with TB!4 with local time. Anyway the weird sorting

Re: Can I override handshake failure?

Hi Mark, This PC (XP): 8 minutes to boot. Sometimes it takes 3 boots before it starts up, because it hangs twice (almost at the end of booting). I had that problem on three different PCs now. It always was the DMA mode. For some reasons Windows believed the disk wasn't able to do DMA and

Re: Search conditions in Message Finder

delete the items from this list and tell TB! not to store them any more? I don't think that is possible. At least I didn't find any option to do so... But the privacy Menu would be the best place to put one :-) -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Raymund Tump

Re: Broken Image Rendering

Hi Sam, Thanks Marck. Kind of a disturbing revelation that a bug or regression in the 4.x version has made it forward into the 5.x branch. I think they updated a graphics library and use that for both versions since 4.2.42. So no regression did migrate :-) -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Raymund

How to set the default account for a common folder

Hi Tbudl, so I have a common folder that stores all my TB-BETA mails. If I reply to a message it is send with the correct mail address as I set the identity. But it is send from the wrong account and therefore the copy of the mail is put into the wrong sent folder which is rather annoying. How

Re: How to set the default account for a common folder

Hi Roelof! RTT How do I set that account? Do I have to use a macro for that as I RTT couldn't find an option in the folder preferences menu. You could use address book templates for tb-beta that include the %account macro. AFAIK you can't set the account per folder. QEE (quod erat

Re: Automatic backups

The Bat! and gpg4win on Windows 7 64 bit
