Hallo z5worg, On Mon, 1 Nov 2004 00:33:15 -0500GMT (1-11-2004, 6:33 +0100, where I live), you wrote:

As v3 has somewhat more features, it's bound to use more memory, but I've never used v1 and v3 on the same computer with the same message base, so I can't do an honest comparison. Z> 2. Will the backup/restore copy all configurations, accounts, Z> filters, etc. from v1.x to 3.x? There's no need to do any backup/restore during the upgrade. You should be able to install v3 on top of v1 without any problems. Some config files changed. folder info: account.flx -> account.flb account info: account.cfg -> account.cfn filters: account.srx -> account.srb Those conversions are supposed to go automatically, but I advise to check all of them. Note that the filters have been changed quite a bit. Apart from some extra filtering conditions subfilters have been introduced and so on. The function of some macros has been slightly changed during the v1/v2 transition, so when you're using them extensively you'd better check their output. As a bonus it's possible now to use recursive templates and variables. Z> 3. Do the messages.tbb and messages.tbi have the same structure in Z> v1.x and 3.x? That's a tricky question. ;-) When you compare 1.62 and V3, the answer is that they have the same structure. But IIRC somewhere in the 1.4x/1.5x transition they changed, so you might have been asking the wrong question. <g> Z> i.e. can I copy the *.tbb and *.tbi from a computer with Z> 1.x to another another computer with v3? Or do I have to use Backup Z> and Restore? I wouldn't use TB's backup/restore function at all, see the thread with the subject "Auto Backup" that started yesterday in mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyhow, simply copy your complete mail directory to your new computer, install TB and tell it to configure new accounts and to stay away from backups. On installing a new account, TB will ask for the mail directory, you point it to your copy and after that you enter the name of the account, TB will recognize that name and will pick that account. The necessary conversions should be performed automatically. -- Groetjes, Roelof I can resist everything except temptation.
