Hi Roberto:
RM> I tried doing that for a while, but unfortunately the Palm Mail RM> conduit only grabs stuff from the 'Inbox' folder. Which if you are RM> like me it's empty most of the time as most of the stuff is filtered RM> over to the folder tree. There's no way to make it sync with any other RM> folder. That is pretty limited. It makes sense to have support for additional folders. When I travel, there are particular e-mails I want to take with me for reference. It would be nice to keep those e-mails filtered into their own folder. I could save them as text files but it would be nice to keep them in e-mail format to forward or reply to. RM> Sending out e-mail is pretty decent since it just places e-mail in the RM> Outbox and out it goes. For most minor, last minute or over the cup of RM> coffee e-mails that's good enough. RM> Loong time ago, I offered to make a conduit for TB!'s AddressBook and RM> E-mail (into a folder aware app). But for that to be done efficiently RM> I needed the native formats of the databases. Got no response from RM> Ritlabs :( even after offering to do it for free. That's a shame. RM> That's the only thing that I'm missing from the TB! otherwise it's RM> perfect ;). I could not agree more! I understand that theBat!'s motto is to keep it simple and perhaps getting into the business of syncing with PDA's may complicate matters. Nevertheless, if a greater customer base would be willing to use theBat! because it would make e-mail handling simpler WHILE NOT TAKING AWAY some necessary e-mail features (e.g., syncing), I think it is a worthwhile endeavor. I got an Axim for Christmas and had been an unhappy Outlook user for some time. Every once in a while I would switch to Netscape but found myself forced to Use Outlook because of the Calender/E-mail integration. When I saw theBat! supports Calendar/E-mail integration (in a limited sense) and would be expanding on it, I decided to purchase it. However, I do miss having contacts in my PDA address book. Because I got rid of Outlook the PDA erased them! I also miss not being able to take my e-mails with me on road. If theBat! added the ability to Sync, Outlook would lose any comparison, hands down. I would also be willing to pay for this extra functionality even as an addon to theBat! - Ricardo ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
