Hi Martin, Thanks for replying to my post. At 7:03 AM on Thursday, June 03, 2004 you MW> wrote the following in response to my question re: v2.11 release installation question:

I think I knew that but reasoned that a new release vs a new update deserved a clean installation. In any event, I don't think TB! should make this process -- even doing it the way I did it, leaving my data folders behind -- as complicatd as it is. > It looks like you've lost the settings in the Registry... and may have > to recreate them. Do you have a backup of your previous version? No & here I admit to utter stupidity, given how many years I've been around. > FWIW, if you create a new common folder, which exists in your mail > folder TB! will pick it up and use it (with a warning message).

Your default address book is > probably TheBat.ABD; try copying your old copy into your mail folder. To complicate matters, I installed the new version to the old default folders, re-created my accounts ok, have restored some common & virtual folders ok but am having trouble distinguishing what is what (old vs new versions) & not understanding why TB! would ignore an existent default AB w/o offering a choice or dialogue of some kind. I'm still trying to clean up this mess. Thanks for your help. -- Jan Rifkinson Ridgefield, CT USA TB!
