Hello Katsmeow,
let me first ask you to not begin a new thread by replying to an
unrelated mail, because it messes up the threaded view. Thanks.

Fine.
K> 1. What is a "colour group"? How do you use it and how do you
K> create it?
You can assign each message in the message list to a "colour group".
It makes a better visual experience when navigating the folders.
You can create a colour group in Option -> Message List Colours.
You can set the font's script, style, and colour for read and unread
states separately.
In Sorting Office -> * -> Rule -> Actions you can set the colour
group, or you can filter on it (see the Advanced tab)
K> 2. What is the purpose of flagging a message? Is it only that it
K> puts a red flag next to the message?
Yes. Before flagging I usually used parking to mark a message, but it
has the side effect that I cannot remove the message in one step, so I
better like flagging. (And I am still able to use parking for
important mail)
K> 3. Is there anything in The Bat comparable to labels in Eudora? If
K> so, what?
I do not know Eudora, but maybe Memos worth a look.
K> 4. Searching. How to do you search across all mailboxes.
There are three radiobuttons in the search dialog:
o search in folder
o search in current account
o search in all accounts
The latter two options are relevant.
K> Alternatively is there a way to search across specified mailboxes?
K> This is fairly easily done in Eudora.
Not one I know.
K> 5. I read somewhere that the next version will have MAPI. I saw

I would not expect TB2 to appear in this year, maybe beta versions...
K> 6. Anyone know if additional font choices are expected for later
K> versions.
K> 7. Oh, when writing a message, is there any easy way to switch back

K> less than easy to do so.
What about Alt+Tab switching or clicking to the main TB page?
K> Thanks for any help.
You're welcome.
