1) copy "Mail" directory from backup hard drive

2) install TheBat

I haven't copied to new computer, but I do keep a mirror HD backup when
I have re-configured production HD.

I just simply "COPY" the

\Program Files\The Bat!\MAIL\

directory with all contents from the mirrored HD backup to the
production HD. All my accounts are kept in this directory which is the
default directory for accounts in TB. Then simply install TB into
directory above "Mail". You will have to be able to connect both PC's.
Real simple and everything works.

If you use CDR to create backup of all files on the CD, you should be
aware all files become read only. You will have to remove this property
on each file to make things work.

TB does have a backup located under Tools | Backup. I haven't used it
yet, but believe it keeps everything. I'm sure other on the list will be
able to tell of any short falls using TB backup. You could then burn the
backup file to CDR. Install TB on new PC, then use TB Tools | Restore.

HTH
