Re[3]: synching mail not in inbox w/ palm
Hi Roberto: RM I tried doing that for a while, but unfortunately the Palm Mail RM conduit only grabs stuff from the 'Inbox' folder. Which if you are RM like me it's empty most of the time as most of the stuff is filtered RM over to the folder tree. There's no way to make it sync with any other RM folder. That is pretty limited. It makes sense to have support for additional folders. When I travel, there are particular e-mails I want to take with me for reference. It would be nice to keep those e-mails filtered into their own folder. I could save them as text files but it would be nice to keep them in e-mail format to forward or reply to. RM Sending out e-mail is pretty decent since it just places e-mail in the RM Outbox and out it goes. For most minor, last minute or over the cup of RM coffee e-mails that's good enough. RM Loong time ago, I offered to make a conduit for TB!'s AddressBook and RM E-mail (into a folder aware app). But for that to be done efficiently RM I needed the native formats of the databases. Got no response from RM Ritlabs :( even after offering to do it for free. That's a shame. RM That's the only thing that I'm missing from the TB! otherwise it's RM perfect ;). I could not agree more! I understand that theBat!'s motto is to keep it simple and perhaps getting into the business of syncing with PDA's may complicate matters. Nevertheless, if a greater customer base would be willing to use theBat! because it would make e-mail handling simpler WHILE NOT TAKING AWAY some necessary e-mail features (e.g., syncing), I think it is a worthwhile endeavor. I got an Axim for Christmas and had been an unhappy Outlook user for some time. Every once in a while I would switch to Netscape but found myself forced to Use Outlook because of the Calender/E-mail integration. When I saw theBat! supports Calendar/E-mail integration (in a limited sense) and would be expanding on it, I decided to purchase it. However, I do miss having contacts in my PDA address book. Because I got rid of Outlook the PDA erased them! I also miss not being able to take my e-mails with me on road. If theBat! added the ability to Sync, Outlook would lose any comparison, hands down. I would also be willing to pay for this extra functionality even as an addon to theBat! - Ricardo Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

synching mail not in inbox w/ palm
Hey, all. I have my palm pilot synching away on the inbox, and that part of it seems to work as described in the tbudl faq. The problem is how I deal w/ mail; ie, I use filters extensively, and the only mail left in the inbox, usually, are mail that I haven't confined to spam jail. Since the mail conduit seems to only grab mail from the inbox, I get no mail, or only spam. I've tried various forms of moving the email into the destination folder and leaving a copy in the inbox, etc, but that leaves my mail in a strange state where mail is always left unread, or in a mixed state where I can't tell if a particular piece of mail is read or not. For TheBat users who synch with their palm pilot: how are the emails handled? What is the filter strategy that works?

TB's address book can pick up vcard or spit out ldif, and the palm desktop program thingie can pick up ldif and spit out vcard. I'm reasonably happy with moving data around in that fashion; the danger comes when I alter data in one and forget to sync immediately to flush the changes.

Re: synching mail not in inbox w/ palm
Hi WL: W For TheBat users who synch with their palm pilot: how are W the emails handled? What is the filter strategy that works? I am sorry I can't be of much help. I was not aware one could sync the bat with PDA's! I would like to know more about that. What software do you use? Can one sync theBat! with PocketPC's? Thanks. -Ricardo Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
