Hi TB users, Recently I found a problem when using TB. We need to handle emails according to the time frame. Say, I will need to reply to the emails arrive at our mail server from 9am to 3pm, my workmate needs to reply from 3pm to 10pm. Since we are using the same mail server, if we can divide the emails by the time when they arrive at our mail server, that will be perfect.
Unfortunately, TB doesn't support this feature. TB won't show the time when the email arrives at the POP3 server. There are two types of time listed in TB, "Received" and "Created". Personally, I don't think that "Received" time is necessary since it just indicates the time when you download the emails from your POP3 server, thus, it only depends on your frequency of fetching emails from server. And the "Created" time is just the time of the sender's computer when he/she sends out the email. What I concern most is we need a unique and precise ruler to divide the emails by time frame(I think we can use the time when the emails reach our POP3 server 'cuz that time is by all means the same for me and all my workmates), but apparently, TB doesn't cover this feature. This problem exists in both the current former version v1.62r, and the latest Beta 11 which I'm now using. I wonder if the current "Received" time could be rectified to the time when the emails arrive at the mail server. The "Created" time should remain. Thanks for the great work of TB programmers. I really love TB and that's why I want it to be the perfect. -- Best regards, Joe Lee A fan of The Bat! in domain name industry --------------------------------------------------------- Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/11 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
