Do you want to keep your message base on the "different drive"? I'm
going to assume that yes. And I am going to assume it is in:
E:\TB\Mail
1.- Do a fresh install.
2.- Create a new account (let's call it 'Fake') with any names, email,
servers, etc., you wish. They don't need to be real.
3.- Once TB is started, go to Options/Preferences/System and for 'mail
Directory' type in, or browse to, E:\TB\Mail
4.- You can now create new accounts with the old names and they should
appear with the settings, options, folders and messages from your
previous installation.
5.- Delete account 'Fake'. If you wish, of course ;-)
That should do it.
If you would rather have your accounts and message base in the <default>
directory (usually C:\Program files\The bat!\Mail), replace step 3 above
with:
3.- Copy (don't move, just in case) your E:\TB\Mail to
C:\Program files\The bat!\Mail
And then proceed with step 4.
