The ability to import my old Bat! address book into my new Bat JF> address book. They *could* still be there. Just have a look into the directory where you kept your emails on your old harddisk. Look for files with the extension .ABD. These are TB's address books. Most of them are TB's default address books (LDAP#x.ABD, IntermCA.ABD, RootCA.ABD). The other one(s) should be you address books Copy the relevant one(s) to a secure place on your new drive (Just needed for the importing). Then open up the address book, and use the menu "File -> Import from -> The Bat! Address Aook". Point it to the file(s) you just saved.

Just one question: what would you need the rifle for? Shouldn't the height be sufficient? :-) JF> 2.

If you don't have your key OR your password any longer, RITlabs will have to generate a new key. To do this, visit https://www.cifnet.com/ritlabs/recovery.html. They will charge you $3 for this procedure.

But I would like to be able to save the JF> messages in certain folders. Can it be done? You can import your old message base via the menu "Tools -> Import Messages -> From The Bat! Message Base (.TBB files) ...". Then you can rename these folders or drag them under a newly created folder (perhaps called "Older messages" or something similar) while holding down CTRL+ALT on your keyboard. But I'd suggest, that you copy the message base to your new harddisk before doing that, as I recommend keeping access to destroyed drives to an absolute minimum. JF> And please be gentle. We always are. Otherwise our moderators step in and remind us (gently) to be nice to each other! ;-) -- Regards, Lars The Bat! 1.54 Beta/15 on Windows NT 5.1 Build 2600 ____________________________________________________________ | Lars Geiger | <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
