having one folder structure, pocomail, etc
I'm a registered user of The Bat!, but being that e-mail programs interest me, I figured I'd check out PocoMail also. I just installed it but one thing came to mind immediately that I'd like to ask the Bat group. Is there a way you can set up multiple accounts to only go to one inbox and related folders? For the most part I like the way The Bat is set up with each account being it's separate entity, but it would also be nice if I could just provide one folder structure for several of my pop accounts to pour into. For example I have about 3 or 4 pop accounts that are not that active. It would be great if I could have one inbox shared for these accounts but when I reply to one of the messages it knows which account it was sent to. This is how PocoMail and Pegasus act by default. I like The Bat's default set up but would like this option as well. I know I could filter all of the mail coming into those accounts into the inbox of another folder, but that seems more like a 'work-around' then really a solution. The other thing I've been meaning to ask. One thing that I really find annoying is when I to to start typing addresses in the To field and I start using auto complete with ctrl+. It's all fine until I get to the far right of the To field. It really doesn't scroll over far enough and I can't really cycle through the address with ctrl+ or - to see what I'm choosing. Is this just something I have to deal with? I guess it isn't that big of a deal since I could always then turn to using the address book, but I figured I'd ask since it comes up a lot for me. Thanks for any input. If anyone has any comments about PocoMail and/or Becky (either positive or negative) feel free to email me off list. I'm really interested in Bat user's thoughts on these programs. -- Rick mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, 'What was THAT?! -Jack Handey -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

'Common filters' is a feature currently missing from TB! which I put on the request list. Unfortunately, up until the 1.54 betas TB!'s architecture is very much one account - one set of folders - one set of filters. Common folders*, I think, are the first step away from this. One can filter to a common folder, but the filter has to be reproduced within each account which is to be filtered. That said, the feature which allows a received message to be sent from any account (by clicking on the received account name in the status bar and selecting the new account from the popup) solves the other half of the problem. Alastair * folders which float independently of any account. -- Alastair Scott (London, United Kingdom) Using Windows XP and The Bat! 1.54 Beta/38 -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

You can do that using the new Common Folder feature. You create the Common folder for incoming mails. In the properties of this folder, in Response template you add : %FROM= %FROM=%OTOADDR Then, when you will reply from this folder, the FROM filed will be filled with the address used to send the original message. -- Regards, Ericmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v1.54 Beta/36 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Hello Rick!

Not they way you wanted it, which, BTW, can be achieved with earlier versions already. To sort that out a bit: In the current beta series there is a new feature called Common Folders, which are Folders not within any account but common to all. You can now receive your messages with your accounts and filter them from there directly into the Common Folders (Inbox, for example). This you can already do without Common Folders, just create a dummy account to which you filter your messages. I do something a little different, I have three active accounts, one of them my main account, one only used for special purposes and one for general purposes including TB! ML's. Except for some odd stranger and all of TB! related mail I automatically sort my messages into the folder structure of the main account. This way it doesn't really matter to which of my many e-mail addresses a message is addressed. The downside comes with your idea of a message remembering which account it comes from (and which reply settings should be used). But don't despair, even this can be handled by templates - AB or (sorry Marck) folder based ones. Or better still QT's. A QT with the macro %ACCOUNT='name of account' and a good handle will permit you to use the account's settings you want. This relies on your ability to recognize which message comes from which account. This is just to give you a hint. -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de http://Interest.Write4U.de/pongo PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.54 Beta/37 on Windows 95 4.0 1212 C It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.

Hello Dierk, A QT with the macro %ACCOUNT='name of account' and a good handle will permit you to use the account's settings you want. Or just select Options/Active Account on editor window, right? This relies on your ability to recognize which message comes from which account. He can do that with Colour Groups. If he defines a different Group for each account and all the filters in each account include an Action to assign the message to the corresponding group. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
