(Presuming that you're meaning 3.51.10) Could be possible, as v3 is using file types that v2 didn't use and doesn't make copies of the matching v2 files. And as v2 doesn't know them yet, it can't convert them. Q> -Or should I just install the v2.12.04 over the v3.51.10? Same problem.

Apart from the things mentioned above, v2 doesn't know what to do with v3's encrypted message base. Q> 2.

TB only works in 'server mode' for other copies of TB of the same main version. This has to do with the changing file types for account properties, folder properties and sorting office for the various versions. TB doesn't do server mode for other mail clients, as its server mode is merely message base sharing between multiple copies of TB. Q> 3.

TB's server mode requires TCP/IP as the server instance needs to connect to the internet. Q> 4. Q> -How well does the bat work in a VPN, as server? (preferably my old licenses Q> for v1.6 and v2.12) Any drawbacks with IPSec? AFAIK TB doesn't care about the network connection you're using to make the various TB instances connect to their shared message base. Q> (My own experiences comes from using the bat v1.3 to v2.12 in Q> standalone workstation mode with TCP/IP) Those two versions won't work together at all, as v1.3 used a different message base format (that changed somewhere in the v1.4/v1.5 time. -- Groetjes, Roelof Women's clothes: Go to extremes, seldom to extremities.
