Dear Ron, A Curtis, & Dierck,
Thanks to all of you for your responses.  I'm pleasantly surprised to hear from you so quickly.  It's nice to know that you want to help me, & I hope that you can.  I think that I have a series of problems, based on what you've all written about & what I" ve just noticed once again with my TB installation.  I just sent the following note to Dierck; it describes my current impasse.



Dierk,
Thanks so much for your helpful response and quick too! First, my primary problem is the fact that TheBat! keeps searching to go online when in fact I am already on line with DSL. TheBat searches only in an old dial up account, can't find what it wants & times out. How does TheBat recoganize & use the DSL connection?

Thanks.

By the way, I just returned to TheBat window to take another look at my account setup, & once again, the system has frozen. It seems that as soon as I leave that window, it freezes & I have to manually close it down (C+A+D).

Hello Jennifer!

I saw your message on TBUDL. Let me try to help you.

When you installed TB! you were asked by a wizard to create an
account, which contains some (system) folders and your settings.
These settings you put in during the install.

If not:

1. Go to Account/Properties/Transport.

2. Put in your correct SMTP and POP server, and your user name.
Apply the correct settings for authentication. If a password is used
either put it in (not recommended) or leave the field blank. Be sure
to check "Don not store password ...". This one is important or TB!
will store automatically your the password you use with your first
connect - even if it is wrong, resulting in not receiving mail.

3. Go to Account/Properties/General and fill in the information,
like Reply-To address and so on. Check "Use this account for
mailto".

4. Go to Account/Properties/Mail management and - if needed - change
ports and options.

All those things can be handled in one go as all properties are
configurable from one window as you will see when you got to
Accounts/Properties.

That is all there is to get TB! running as an e-mail client. If you
have ever done it for any other client you will see that it is quite
easy. Much easier than with OE.

For further questions I recommend the FAQ of TBUDL:
http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com.

I hope I could help you, feel free to ask if you need more.
