The "active account" is simply the account you happen to be viewing at the time. When you view a folder of another account, that account becomes the active account. When you view a common folder or a virtual folder, no account is selected as "active." At least, that is my experience. > I have three separate accounts in my > installation but intend for only one of them to be used > for contacting my mail server. That can be achieved by having no details (or invalid details) for the mail server in the accounts you wish to not contact the mail server. I have accounts with "SMTP server" defined but nothing in "mail server" because the incoming mail is routed through a different account. > I check that one off on > the "active account" item of the system tray pop-up > menu, The selection will change according to which account or folder has focus (or, in other words, is active). Outgoing messages will be sent from whatever account you are viewing at the time (unless you change that manually in the message window or by means of a macro in your message templates).

If you can't sort this as I described above, you could convert the filters from single account filters to common filters and select all accounts for the filter to "share" with. > I have to manually move > each new or sent message to the appropriate common > folder. Why? What happens if you right-click the folder where you need to move the messages from and select "re-filter..."? > Is anyone else experiencing such a strange situation, > or have any idea what might be going on? I see nothing strange. Whatever account has focus is active. If a common or virtual folder has focus, no account is active. If you are creating "accounts" that will neither send nor receive mail, I have to wonder if your purpose might be better served by instead creating folders under your one account that actually sends and receives. -- Best regards MFPA mailto:[email protected] A closed mouth gathers no foot Using The Bat! v4.0.38 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
