Agreed, and make 100% sure that you back all your mail up as well... a fresh install might not necessarily protect your mails from being messed with ;) I did try an import from Outlook that comes with Office XP... but that messed up on 1.60c to the point where all the From fields were list names, and not the true senders... there was no subjects, dates were all set to the import date, the To field was missing, and a load of other stuff was screwed... I'm guessing that had something to do with an unsuported version of Outlook for the TB! importer ;) I ended up exporting the emails I really needed to keep into .msg format, then playing with the formating in the file until I knew it'd import right. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60i FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
