Hi Roelof, Thank you for the advice.
Re: the "compress on exit". I actually set it that up for him, but the manual part he didn't want to do. Yeah, yeah I know :), but there are alot of people out there who aren't willing to do the minimum. As for shutting down automatic downloading; again, he has it set to download every 5 seconds. So it seems that IMAP is the way to go, but I'm not familiar with the protocol. Any good tutorials you could suggest? Or is it still possible to download a copy of TB! that allows for the client/server setup? -- Best regards, NickOhare Saturday, June 7, 2008, 6:26:59 PM, you wrote: > Hallo Nick, > On Sat, 7 Jun 2008 15:01:55 -0400GMT (7-6-2008, 21:01 +0200, where I > live), you wrote: NO>> I have investigated and found that TB! can be setup in a more NO>> traditional "server/client" configuration, but am having trouble NO>> locating the proper area for doing it. > That function has been discontinued since a year or two. > In order to avoid compressing when one instance of TB stops, you can > disable 'compress on exit' for TB and have your friend purge and > compress manually when only one system is running. > In order to avoid downloading multiple copies of the sdame mail, I'd > suggest that you lengthen the intervals between two polls or even > better disable automatic downloading for new mail. > The best way to access the same mail account(s) from multiple > computers (simultaneously or not) is to do that via the IMAP protocol. > Install (or subscribe to) an IMAP server for your friend. ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
