What is OTFE: OTFE (On The Fly Encryption) means that TB encrypts your messagebase, so that nobody can read it, except with TB and your password/hardware token. TB also encrypts the names of your folders and also text files created with SmartBat and your config files. There are two kinds of OTFE. The simple kind is with a password and the hard way is with a hardware token: Aladdin eToken Pro or Rainbow iKey1000 token OTFE works only for the professional version How do you install OTFE: When you've got a working TB configuration you cannot change to OTFE by checking a preference. OTFE can only be configured with a clean install of TB pro. So when you've got a working config that you want to convert to OTFE this is the way: Create a TB style complete back-up. Uninstall TB and delete your message base. Now install TB. When you're done installing you'll be asked whether you want to use OTFE or not: enable it and select a password. Now run TB and restore your back-up, TB will encrypt the restored data. How do you uninstall OTFE: Basically the same way as you installed it. Create a back-up, uninstall TB, delete your messagebase, install TB and restore your back-up.

That's both your own way of OTFE (you're making my name almost unrecognisable) and for the rest pure slander: Since I've been using OTFE I sent no more than 229 messages to TBUDL.
