However, some of my mail is filtered to Inbox-Known immediately upon retrieval.

Filtering questions
1. What is the difference between Outgoing message and Replied message filters? e.g. If I want to sort all messages to TBUDL into a separate folder, some messages (like this one) would be a new message while others would be replies. Do I need 2 filters -- one for Outgoing and one for Replies? If not, what are the circumstances that one would put a filter into Replied Messages? 2. I have a filter for Outgoing message; and I want that message marked as UNread. Looking under the Action tab, the only option is to marked it Read. But all outgoing messages are automatically treated as Read (Marked the message as read is unchecked). So that checkbox doesn't seem to make sense.

Two ways to do this easier:
1)
2)
Copy your new message template to a QT (quick template) and all it 'New'
Share that QT with all accounts (options tab)
Change the new message template for all accounts into this:
%QInclude('New')%-
Do likewise with the other accounts.
This sounds promising.
Now does that mean that even if the QT is checked to share with all
accounts, it doesn't really share unless the macro %QInclude('New')%- is
typed into the other Account's Properties?
And if I modify the QT at a later date, the change will apply to all
accounts that has the %QInclude('New')%- in it?

How to delete a Common/Virtual Folder
I installed v.2 on my laptop (Win98SE) a few days ago. I had a 1.6x before; but I didn't find an uninstall, so I simply deleted 1.6x; and installed v.2 After setting up all the Accounts, somehow I ended up with an extra yellow folder (I'll call it Folder 1A) at the end (of my Account list) that is a duplicate of one of my accounts (Folder 1). I don't know how it got there. Both Folder 1 and 1A has the same name. I tried to delete that Folder 1A; but it says that there are parked messages, and I have to unparked them first. And I found that as I unparked the messages in Folder 1A, the same thing happened in Folder 1. Is Folder 1A a Common folder or a Virtual folder? And how do I delete it without affecting Folder 1? -- Thanks in advance JM Using The Bat! 2.12.04 Under Windows 98 4.10 Build A Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Folder Maintenance - Check Integrity/Repair
When I run that for all the Accounts/subfolders, there were 3 damaged folders. e.g. Subfolder1 Messages recovered: 4,926, damaged parts (part.bin), Saved:0 I do not find a part0001.bin on my HD's subfolder1. There is a part0001.bin in another subfolder from an earlier run of Folder Maintenance. What do I do with that file? Does it contain the damaged messages? How do I recover them?

How to set orders for displaying messages for each account?
In v1.x, I couldn't set a default order for listing messages in various accounts. Now, in v2, I can do that. But the problem now is when I change the display/listing order in one folder (under folder properties), it changes the default order and applies to ALL accounts/folders.

Why would you wish to do that with IMAP4. That's what POP3 is for, and furthermore, I'm not sure that IMAP only accounts exist. Usually they're manageable using only POP3 or both IMAP and POP3. IMAP4 is the only protocol for the free accounts at that place. May be I should just ditch that account? Since v2, TB! does IMAP the way it should be done in that the messages are truly managed on the server and kept there. If you wish to do what you want, then you'd need to create filters to delete the messages as they're found on the server and move them to local folders on your system. 1. First I need to know how to move the messages from the server to my PC. How do I do that? 2. What is the filter for all messages -- *.* ?? And I guess I delete the messages under the Action tab? 3. Then how to set a filter for further filtering the incoming messages to other folders/accounts? Or is #2 and #3 are just one filter? The local folders would be either common folders, or folders within a POP account. The folders you create in an IMAP account are actually folders created on the server. The Bat created the default folders when the account was created. And I added a few. Must the folders in TheBat match exactly with the folders on the server? [I really don't want these other folders on the server -- even if they are all empty.] Separately, this IMAP4 account did not port over well when I switch over from v1.x to v2.x. So I had to delete the old and create a new account with IMAP4 protocol. And I copy over the messages.tbl and .tbi. However, v2 is not displaying all the messages. How can I get it to display messages in that account? -- Thanks in advance JM Using The Bat! 2.12.00 Under Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

In particular for System Restore. On the other hand, even if you could do so, backing up the System Volume Information would serve you no purpose because if you are going to install XP again, it will create/configure a new System Volume Information for each volume (drive or partition). Thanks for the info. Does that mean that I can have a clean reinstall of WinXP by copying back from the backup copy described above -- without the System Volume Informaiton files? So does the OS create/configure a new System Volume Informaiton ONLY IF I reinstall from the WinXP installation CD?

As Martin said, it depends on OS settings: if on the OS level is set that system files are hidden, then TC will obey to this rule (will not see them, although it will display them with an exclamation mark in the icon). So you would just have to change this OS setting to show system (or all) files and TC will be able to apply all actions on them it can, including copying. If by OS settings you mean TC's settings, it was sett to show hidden/system files and I can see them. I can't remember which file wasn't copying when I tried to copy the entire C drive before. But I am on the WinXP-Home computer now, and I can't even open the C:\System Volume Information directory/folder to see what files are in there.
