Works here (see above). Some ISPs (for example T-Online, the biggest ISP in Germany) cut the real name from the From address. You have to shell out extra money to use another SMTP server of theirs if you don't want it cut. Maybe your ISP does the same? -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.

Hallo admin, On Sat, 19 Jun 2004 22:28:32 +0100GMT (19-6-04, 23:28 +0200, where I live), you wrote: A If I set The Bat up so that the Laptop is a client and the Desktop is A a Server In order to do that, you have to share the directory with the message base. When you setup TB as server for another TB client, it doesn'rt act as a real server, it's intended for one system with internet access that manages the connectivity for the whole network. A then when I go away for a week and want to access email A directly on the laptop... Not wise. You'd need to share your mail directory with systems connecting via the internet, that's the worst safety risk I can imagine. A How I would I do that? You wouldn't, believe me. Best way to get the mail on both systems, would be copy your account settings to your laptop. Set both accounts to leave mail on server (for such a long period that you're sure that you check your mail with your laptop.) Keep your desktop running, checking mail every hour or so, so that you'll have copies of every mail on your desktop. As you check mail with your laptop, the mail will be left on the server by both systems until one of them decides to delete it. Depends a bit on your server space of course. When you're regularly of site, an imap account might be best, but maybe you'd prefer a different client than TB for that purpose. -- Groetjes, Roelof Disclaimer: Any opinion stated in this message is not necessarily shared by my budgies or rabbits.

Hallo admin, A then when I go away for a week and want to access email A directly on the laptop... Not wise. Oh indeed not - I didn't mean across the internet as client and server - I meant change the laptop to get its email direct from the POP account(s). Best way to get the mail on both systems, would be copy your account settings to your laptop. Set both accounts to leave mail on server (for such a long period that you're sure that you check your mail with your laptop.). Ah but I clean out email as I deal with clients' requests etc. I'm not one who keeps emails for ever - I dal with it and delete - or save it as text and the attachments in a cleint's folder - then delete. So... I'd end up having to delete it on both machines! When you're regularly of site, an imap account might be best, but maybe you'd prefer a different client than TB for that purpose. ISP doesn't offer IMAP at the moment. -- Marten Gallagher Annery Kiln Web Design www.annerykiln.co.uk Using The Bat! 2.11.02 with POPFile 0.21.1 on Windows XP 5.1 Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hallo admin, I take it your TB is getting the name above from the prefix of the email address - is that right? I thought I had my properties right to give my name - oh well I suppose I could live with being called 'admin' - better the many things I've been called in my time! :-(O))# -- Marten Gallagher Annery Kiln Web Design www.annerykiln.co.uk Using The Bat! 2.11.02 with POPFile 0.21.1 on Windows XP 5.1 Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

If you are talking about the TCP/IP modes listed under Network and Administration, I don't think that relates to what you were discussing. (I could be wrong) What you are asking about is how to access a single mail base from more than one machine. The only protocol that provides that is IMAP. Anything else would have some issues. If you still use POP, then you'd have to access the same files to have the same effect. If you were away for a week, I guess you'd need to copy all the mail base files and take them with you first. And when you returned, you would copy all the mail base files back. I don't think too many people do that. But you'd then have everything the very same in both places. I guess you want to try out all the options. And see what suits you best. And if there seem some shortfalls in how it works out still, you can pose them. With the speed of wired and wireless networks these days, things are probably not too constricting. Just try everything. You were saying, how you had it, that outgoing mails were filtered to the Sent folder. It sounds like where most people would want them placed. -- Best regards, Adam Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
