Hello Doug & other fellow TB! Users following this thread,
Wednesday, December 20, 2000, you stated regarding :
DW> And it's still not good enough, even Calypso was robust enough to
DW> recover after a crash.
Not for me it wasn't. It crashed and crashed for good. Forever! It
won't open. Nix. Kaput. Not only that - Calypso's tech support did
NOTHING except blame MY OS, insisting that I install every upgrade
M$ ever put on their web site. All lies to cover up their own
ignorance. I've gotten more help from TBUDL than those idiots ever
knew (and Stephan's there when needed - TB!'s main programmer, no
less).
Calypso has a couple of slick little tricks (that don't compare to
what you get w/ TB! in any case), but MCDallas really sucks.
I had over 50 mb of email in Calypso that I COULDN'T GET AT (their
mailbox is encrypted, remember). Not only that, I emailed them a
small 5 mb one and the fools were downloading my new email with it,
without even being aware of it. God almighty. Talk about
incompetence.
It took them a week to get back to me. Meanwhile, a TBUDL buddy did
the job, exported the small file and had it back to me by the next
day. And HE DID notice that mailbox file was set to download all by
it's lonesome. (The job didn't need to be done online, anyway).
Luckily, most of it was backed up on Netscape Messenger (I didn't
set Calypso to delete from the server until late in the game) which
I easily imported into TB!
Anybody want a Calypso registration number cheap?
DW> I've done a backup -- but that's all the mailboxes, and I
DW> presume if I restored the backup I'd wipe out all the new
DW> messages in the other mailboxes.
That depends on the parameters you chose when restoring. You can
replace, or you can append, or you can use a filter to determine the
dates involved. Put them in a different directory and import them.
DW> Damn. I can't tolerate this, and it's never happened with any other
DW> program I've used.
That's the best part. Now you have touched on one of the principle
benefits of using TB! Your tolerance will increase noticeably,
concomitantly with your confidence quotient. Here EVERYTHING gets
resolved.
