Hallo Nick,

It's possible to start the purge and compress stuff via a command line
parameter (see the help file under advanced use) So you can set it up
to be run once a day via the Windows Scheduler.

That's an insane interval, that's likely to cause trouble even if he
was using a single instance of TB. But it's simple, tell him that
that's the cause of his duplicate messages and that he should lower
that frequency to no more than once every five minutes. If that's
acceptable you could even create schedule within Windows Scheduler to
download in that frequency. That way you eliminate the possibility
that two instances of TB are polling the server simultaneously.

I wouldn't know any tutorial, but from the times that I played with it
I'd say that it isn't that hard. A lot of options you'd need/like to
set depend on the used server/client combination.

NO> Or is it still possible to download a copy of TB! that allows for

Possibly, but you should realize that it won't be updated any longer
and that it isn't bugfree.
