Hello List,
I know I've asked this before, but it was about a year and several
versions ago, so I need to ask again.
Could someone give me a step-by-step instructions for moving TB (and
all of my stuff within TB) to a new computer? Note a couple important
items:
1) I'm currently using v1.48d on this computer. The new computer I
will be using whatever the latest version is (1.51 maybe? I just
downloaded it but haven't installed yet so I can't look it up).
2) The directory structures are changing dramatically from this
computer to the new computer (a fact I'm not thrilled about, but I
bought the new computer from Dell and everything was pre-installed,
and I don't much have the inclination or the time to fdisk the thing
and start from scratch). Currently all my TB files are located on my
E: partition, but when I move to the new computer there are no
partitions so it'll be on the C: drive. And the directory structures
are very different.
3) I have a lot of attachments I really have to be able to access.
When I moved all the stuff to this computer from my old one, I
remember I had to actually move the old attachments folder into the
program folder (or something like that) in order for them to work,
since TB (at the time at least) mapped the attachment location within
the message itself not globally. The problem with this new move is
that I can't do that - there's no E: drive for me to put the
attachment folder. Help!
4) I have a *lot* of filters set up. Re-creating them all would take
hours. Please tell me I don't have to do all that work. I also have a
lot of folders and about 8 e-mail accounts.
If it helps, other than the directory structure and filters, I'm
running basically as-installed. I haven't done any registry edits or
any specialized stuff like that. I don't even use the address book!
I absolutely love TB - it's the best e-mail program I've ever found.
My only wish is that it was easier to move from one computer to
another. IIRC, when I used Eudora, I only had to move one or two
files, that was it, and I had everything. With TB, as I recall from
doing this a year ago, it's a royal pain. I switch computers typically
once a year or so (typically when the tax refund check comes in), so
I'll probably be asking this again this time next year.
Thanks,
Jason
