Re: 8.8.2.6

Hi Maxim,

the issue is still there that TB doesn't notice a flag that was changed
while TB is not running.

I just reproduced it again:
I change an email from flagged to unflagged on K9 (Android) while TB is
running: TB notices the change
I quit TB, change the flag while TB is NOT running, start TB again and the
flag is still in the old state, TB doesn't notice the change.

Tried the same with TB6 and it works there. E-Mail Provider is Gmail (IMAP).

I can use the GMail Web interface instead of K9 and can reproduce it just
the same.

I also tried clearing the folder's cache, but the result is the same. I
observed one thing, though: If the message is not stored locally (only the
header) and then you click on the message in the message list, TB will get
the content from the server and THEN also update the flag.

Hi Gleason,

I tried that already (and re-downloaded the whole 5 GB folder twice). Of
course the messages that were flagged incorrectly are then downloaded
right, but the next time another client unflags a message, it happens again.

It doesn't seem to be about the message database anyway: When I start
thebat64.exe (v6.8) in the same folder, the flags are updated correctly. It
truely seems to be a bug.

Hi Maxim,

I tried out 8.8.2.5, mostly to see if it is worth upgrading vom TB v6, and
noticed one serious issue:

When a flagged e-mail in the INBOX (Gmail in my case) gets unflagged by
another client while TB 8 is not running, TB8 will keep it as flagged and
not realize the status change.

Example: I have a message from two weeks ago. On another email client (for
example TB6 an a different computer, or K9 on my Android) I unflag that
e-mail. Then i start TB8 again and the e-mail is still flagged! I can't
even unflag it there, the flag just stays or keeps coming back. Only way to
have TB8 notice the status update is by parking it, only then it gets that
the message is not flagged on the IMAP server anymore.

With TB6 everything works perfectly, TB6 recognizes, for example, when I
unflag a message on TB8 or K9.

Reproducable over and over again here.

Bug: Virtual Folder auto refresh

2013-01-09 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Unchecking that option in settings of a VF does not work, the VF still
refreshes automatically.

Tested like this:
created VF that shows unread mail of an IMAP folder
selected VF
new mail in that IMAP folder arrives -> it shows in the VF even though
I did not do a manual refresh.

Because what you say is just a question of definition. Even if this

We don't even know if this behaviour was intendet (which I cannot

make sense, then it should be fixed as well.

Well, there is one thing I find pretty convincing: The old VF
behaviour (not removing the currently selected message) would not
destroy your process, while the current behaviour destroys ours.

So what's the argument against keeping the currently selected message
in the VF list until the user selects another? I haven't seen one. So
why don't we agree on that this should be fixed?

This is exactly why my virtual folders are configured to show all
unread and flagged mail. If I have read an email and still want to
work with it later (e.g. write a long answer) I will simply flag it,
so it stays in the virtual folder. This, by the way, is one thing that
isn't possible anymore in v5, because often the email will disappear
from the list once read and I can't set the flag anymore.

Of course you could also misuse the read/unread status to mark emails
that still need to be worked on, instead of flagging them or using
colours or whatever. However, this is not what the read/unread status
is designed for, because then it's just limited to be used as another
kind of flag, not making use of the special ability of read/unread,
which is to be set from read to unread state automatically after
displaying a message. BTW, that's why it's called "read"/"unread" and
not "done" / "still needs work" :-)

Sounds to me like it's the exact same bug. The message that is
currently open suddenly doesn''t fulfill the VF criteria anymore and
therefore gets closed/removed from the list, even though the user is
still working with it. Ritlabs, please fix this. There was a bug in
BT, but it was pretty much ignored (as usual).

I disagree. Almost every email client/interface on this planet, from
Hotmail to the iPhone, marks an email as read when you open it for reading.
And this for good reason: Usually people read an email after they open it,
which is generally the purpose of opening an email. Having to manually mark
them as read, especially when using the mouse, is an unnecessary task.

Also, what is the disadvantage of keeping the email currently being looked
at in the VF's message list? I bet my ass that Ritlabs didn't implement the
current behaviour on purpose. They just made the VFs refresh more often
(which is generally good) and don't care about this side effect that
actually destroys a useful process for users. That process being to have a
VF that shows all your unread mail from various accounts/folders. Not such
an unusual way to handle new mail one would think.

Re: 5.1.6.2 VF bug still there

Probably the best (and easiest) way to handle this would be that a VF,
while open, does not remove any messages automatically, and only adds the
new ones. Removing only takes place once you either refresh manually or
leave the VF. That's how v4 handled it and it definitely made sense.

Well, it makes absolutely no sense to remove the message from the VF while

5.1.6.2 VF bug still there

2012-05-19 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
The bug that the message I am currently reading in a VF disappears as soon
as the virtual folder gets refreshed is still there. This happens if a VF
is configured to show unread emails, which then of course become read when
you click on them. Then you better hurry if you want to flag the message,
because as soon as a new unread message comes in (causing the VF to
refresh) your message will disappear from the VF.

Bug exists and was reported since v5.0.

Yes, during DEVELOPMENT (alpha/beta cycle)  this may make sense, but not
for a release product and not to leave these files there for all eternity
(without asking/informing the user!). Ok, this assumes that a product is

Re: lost messages of old IMAP account

2012-02-22 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
> Have you tried importing the messages from the TBB files? Tools/Import

Just out of curiosity I tried it, went back to v5 and chose
Tools/Import/TBB: The messages get read, it says "2913 mails imported" or
so, but they appear nowhere. It does not even ask me which folder I want to
store them to, and they don't appear in either the folder I selected or the
one they were from (in the inactive account). Bummer.

And slowly I'm finding out more: The difference in file/folder structure
between v4 and v5 is as follows: In v4 the cache files (*.TBB, *.TBN) are
located directly in the MAIL\[accountname] folder. In v5 the arey located
in MAIL\[account name]\IMAP.
So for my inactive account I created the IMAP folder (which didn't exist,
probably only gets created once messages are downloaded). Then I copied
(well, created a symlink) the cache files into the IMAP folder. Voila, all
messages are there, even in v5.

What does this mean? I can't believe it, but the re-downloading of all IMAP
messages when upgrading from v4 to v5 is not due to a different cache
format or anything like that, it's simply because the cache file location
was moved into a sub-folder! And instead of moving the files there, TB
makes you download all messages again! And also makes you lose your folder
synchronization settings. For nothing! On top of that all the old files
stay on your hard drive.

This is so ridiculous. Tons of GB of Internet bandwidth wasted, plus
filling people's hard drives for no reaon. In my opinion, whoever is
responsible for that should be fired. I just freed 8 GB of hard drive space
by deleting duplicate cache files!!

 I haven't tried that, not sure if it would work. Instead I did something
else: I re-installed v4. God this feels good! Finally virtual folders and a
quick search field that are useable!! And it also brought all my messages
back. Even in other (active) IMAP accounts, all cached messages were still
there up to the date I updated to v5, only the newer ones needed to be
downloaded. So it seems that Ritlabs really leaves those old cache files on
the hard drive for no use. Except for people going back to v4, which is a
valid reason in my opinion, concerning all the bugs of v5 and Ritlab's
attitude towards them :-) I don't think this was the reason, though,
probably more likely just some careless programming.

Re: lost messages of old IMAP account

2012-02-22 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hi Tony,

I know very well how IMAP works :-)

However, the server couldn't tell TheBat that the messages were deleted,
because access to the server was denied the minute my account got
deactivated. The scenario you describe would happen if the account was
still active, but the folder contents were deleted. Then, of course, TB
would delete the local folder contents as well.
In my case, the account became deactivated, so TB couldn't connect and
therefore never got any information like "folders are empty". In fact, at
some point I changed the domain to something invalid and told TB to stop
trying to synchronize, as all I needed was access to the local copy of the
messages.

This local copy is definitely still there, or else the account's MAIL
folder wouldn't be over 1 GB in size. To me it seems like TB did the
following when updating from v4 to v5:
- new cache files were created, all messages were re-downloaded (which in
my case resulted in empty folders, as access to the server wasn't possible)
- the old cache files stay on disk but are not used anymore.

So most IMAP users should now have their old cache files on disk, eating up
lots of space despite not being used. Good job, Ritlabs!

Cheers,
Carsten

lost messages of old IMAP account

2012-02-22 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hello Tbbeta,

I used to have an IMAP account with my university, all messages were cached in 
The Bat (v4 at the time). Even after I quit that university and didn't  have 
access to this account anymore, I could still read all my messages in The Bat.

Now I am at v5, and am trying to read messages of that account again: All 
folders are empty! Even though the mail account folder on the hard drive is 1 
Gig in size, so the messages must still be there.

How can I access these messages? And what is this, that they stay on the hard 
drive but are not shown in TB v5?

Hello Tbbeta,

  Do any of you also have problems with the quick search function in V5? When 
doing several searches one after another, which all get added as a tab at the 
bottom of the message list, I very often get empty results. Then I have to go 
back to the ALL tab, and then click on the tab with my search string again, and 
suddenly the messages appear. Clicking from one search tab to another mostly 
results in empty lists, as if two searches were applied at the same time and 
both criteria had to be met.

Can anyone confirm?

Virtual folders are one of the reasons I am still using TB4. But due to a 
different problem:

In TB5, virtual folders sometimes refresh while I'm browsing them, making the 
message I'm currently reading disappear before I finish reading. Very annoying. 
Example:

- I have a virtual folder that only shows all flagged OR unread mail of my 
INBOX.
- Now I look at this folder, which has several read but flagged emails as well 
as a few new, unread emails. I select one of the unread emails to read it.
- That email immediately changes to read when I select it, of course. In TB4 I 
could continue viewing other mails from the same VF and the first (now read) 
email would still stay in the list. Only once I leave the VF and come back, or 
manually refresh it, the email would disapper, because it doesn't meet the 
criteria anymore (because not being unread anymore). This behaviour made sense.
- In TB5 the VF refreshes WHILE I am looking at the email. This happens if 
whatever incident creates a refresh, I don't know what they are, probably a 
time interval and definitely if new mail arrives. Then the email I currently 
read gets removed from the VF, as it's now unread. This behaviour is absolutely 
useless, as I am still LOOKING AT that email and maybe would want to flag it or 
whatever. 

It would be awesome if this could get fixed.

Like all other 5.x-Versions, this version has serious problems when working
offline with IMAP accounts.

@Ritlabs: Please cut your internet connection for a few hours and try
working normally with TB. You'll see what I'm talking about. Here are some
examples:
- Changing flags is shown when I click on the flag, but as soon as I change
folders it disappears again. This was better in 4.x!
- If draft-folder is set to remote folder: I can't save my messages!

This is a real-case szenario: You are on a plane/train and don't have
Internet for a few hours before getting back into the office. It's a
nightmare with v5, but used to work ok (not good) with v4.

IMAP Remote Outbox/Drafts folder

2011-07-14 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hi all,

Is the remote Outbox supposed to work with v5? I never used it in v4, because 
it was unrealiable and had caused me message loss. I thought it was supposed to 
work in v5.

Now when I edit a message, without having an Internet connection, and then 
click save, save as draft, or Shift-F2 (put in outbox), the editor window stays 
open and the message DOES NOT GET saved. However, I can simply close the window 
without getting a warning.

How am I supposed to write messages on the plane, save them in the outbox and 
send them later?

> - Still don't see folders on root level of IMAP folder list

Still there! Big showstopper!!

In fact, what happens after I upgrade is that in the folder view I see all 
folders, including those on the root level. However, as all folder 
synchronization settings get reset to "headers only" by the update (something 
the user doesn't even get a message about), I have to go to "Manage IMAP 
folders" to change that. And on THAT list, the folders on the root level never 
show up, only the INBOX and its subfolders. Once I click OK in that window, the 
other folders from the root level also disappear from the account tree and I 
can't access them anywhere anymore.

It's easy to reproduce: In "Manage IMAP folders" I can create a folder, move it 
to the root level, click OK, then open "Manage IMAP folders" again: the folder 
does not appear on the list.
Server is Dovecot.

This one is gone. I guess it was caused by the virtual folder rename bug and

The account log says exactly nothing. I'm logged in to the IMAP server from my 
previous folder sync, and then when I open the "Manage IMAP folders" window, 
nothing es added to the log. Not even when I hit Refresh.
At the bottom of that window it says
"Retrieving IMAP subscription information (7 folders listed) ...", suggesting 
that it's still retrieving, but nothing happens. I wonder if this text is 
supposed to stay there or go away once all folders are listed.

Update 4 to 5 IMAP folders inaccessible

2011-05-09 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hi all,

So I decided to upgrade from 4.22 to 5.0.12, since I thought 5 would finally 
bring better IMAP and since this is the second public version of 5.x, the worst 
bugs should be fixed. What a mistake!

- On upgrade, all folder synchronization settings (whether to synchronize only 
headers or download full messages) were lost. Had to reconfigure every folder.

- IMAP-Folders on the root level (other than INBOX) are suddenly inaccessible! 
I have folders like
INBOX
INBOX.Newsletter
INBOX.Mailinglist
but also
IMPORTANT
ARCHIVE

Those, that are not a subfolder of INBOX, disappeared from my folder list in 
TB! If I click on "Manage IMAP folders" and hit refresh, I only see INBOX and 
its subfolders, not the other folders on the root level.

If in this screen I click on "new" I get the choice to
- create on the root level
- create as a sub-folder

If I choose to create on the root level, it STILL gets created as a subfolder 
of INBOX! If I delete the folder, it stays on the server!

Server is Dovecot. (Debian Squeeze).

Please fix this soon, so I can get access to my folders!

Very disappointed,

syncing contacts from address book

2010-04-22 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hi all,

Sorry, I have to ask again, since I'm getting kind of desperate:

Is there any way to SYNC the address book with ANYTHING? 

I'm not even asking about the iPhone anymore, I would just be happy to have a 
bidirectional sync to any other program or device. The only solutions I have 
come accross so far are:
-ArtelPlus (bidirectional, but limited to Windows Mobile)
-Mobile Master (can sync with lots of devices and programs, but only FROM 
TheBat and not bidirectional).


If nothing like this exists, which I'm afraid is probably the case, may I ask 
how you guys synchronise your contacts with cellphones, webmail or other mobile 
devices? Or do most TheBat users just miss out on something that is absolutely 
standard for Outlook/Thunderbird/Gmail users?

Editing custom templates

2009-12-09 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hello Tbbeta,

One of TB's strengths compared to other email programs is its template engine, 
including the possibility to use custom templates for folders and address book 
entries. Many years ago I used that, having special greeting and the like for 
many of my contacts. However, I stopped using that because of the following 
issue: Whenever your signature changes, for example because you assume a new 
position in your company, you will have to go through the whole address book 
and change every contact's template. 

Is there a way around that? How do other people (you) use this feature? Is it 
possible to have a template (e.g. for one contact) that is always based on the 
default template and only changes one word or line of it?

Question to Ritlabs: Download URL Manager

2009-12-06 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
I would just like to know if Ritlab's actually intends to complete the Download 
URL Manager. They added it and then left it half-finished and apparently 
nothing is being done in quite some time. New users get extremely annoyed with 
this thing popping up and its bugs, while apparently we older TheBat users only 
accept it because we are used to it.

In my opinion, the main problems are:
- popup appears sometimes twice, sometimes completely empty
- no search function inside blocked/allowed URLs
- no sort function inside blocked/allowed URLs
- clicking on the "show url manager" button for one specific email doesn't 
bring up the URLs contained in that email -> you have to search for it manually 
(without sorting or search function!)
- not possible to "allow once" to just download images for one specific email
- not possible to allow download based on sender email

Why don't you get the job done? I'm a programmer, I know these things are not 
difficult!! I don't know what world you live in, but in my world adding needed 
features, leaving them half-broken and moving on to add other stuff (sometimes 
also half-broken, sometimes banalities) is just completely unacceptable.

Lines in HTML messags missing

2009-11-30 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hello Tbbeta,

I recently noticed the following problem, because an email I received didn't 
seem to make any sense. When looking at the text version, I noticed that there 
were some extra lines of text, that the HTML version didn't display. Opening 
the HTML file in a browser, they were there, but The Bad didn't show them.

Turned out that whenever there is an illegal character in a line of an HTML 
email, The Bat doesn't display that line at all! 

Here some more details: The senders X-Mailer is "YahooMailClassic/8.1.6 
YahooMailWebService/0.8.100.260964". Language of the email is German, the text 
included in the HTML email was

"Bei Ansicht Originalgr��e erkennt man Pixel."
(the two illegal characters being ö and ß, which should have been htmlencoded 
to ö etc., but apparently Yahoo Mail doesn't care about that)
The Bat does not display that line in the HTML viewer at all.

I guess it can be reproduced like this:
- Create a Yahoo Mail account
- Send an HTML email from there to TheBat, including some lines with ä or ö
- check if TheBat displays these lines in HTML view.

in 4.2.6 the bug does not yet exist. 
The main difference is that the Customise window stays open after I change a

I guess the problem is that the current version also closes the Customise

Re: Upload to IMAP folder broken

2009-09-19 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hello Thomas,

> While I don't agree that POP is the past, 

Why not? There is general agreement that mobility is the future, everything 
goes mobile. People (will) access their email from their PC at home, their 
laptop, their netbook, their iPhone (or other smartphone), their TV, their 
cordless phone (already possible here) and so on. While this is more and more 
the case in people's personal lives, it's already an absolute necessity in 
business. And the solutions are
- webmail (what most novices use)
- Exchange (what most businesses use; TB's implementation being even worse than 
IMAP)
- IMAP

As you see, POP is not among those :-) 

I would even go as far to say that IMAP alone is not the future either. The 
trend in business goes definitely towards Exchange (not necessarily MS 
Exchange), as well as collaboration through at least a decent calendaring 
system (not to talk about synchronizing of contacts). Outlook is the leader 
here, and Thunderbird 3 will have calendaring integrated as well.

That's exactly what I mean. You right-click on the message (in the message 
list) of the local folder, select "copy to folder" and then select the IMAP 
folder. After a while the message should appear there. Try first with a small 
message, you will see that it works. Then try with a message >2MB.

> never  had this happen to me. How can TB be broken because the server

As explained earlier in the thread: The server doesn't end the connection, 
TheBat just claims that that's the case. In reality, TheBat ends the connection 
(which is where it is broken), because
- The ServerLog shows that the connection was terminated by the client
- The Server doesn't have a 2 MB limit (this is not even possible with Dovecot)
- Thunderbird works fine
- Trying a different server (gmail.com) The Bat also claims that the server 
ended the connection.

If you try to copy a message of >2 MB to an IMAP folder of your choice, does 
the upload work?

There are actually 3 problems in TheBat that all come together here:
1) TB can't upload >2MB messages
2) Communication with the user is faulty (TB claiming that the server ended the 
connection; TB not showing in the connection center that it resumed uploading)
3) Message loss can occur, because if you choose MOVE then those messages >2MB 
get deleted from your local folder but not uploaded.

1 is a simple but annoying bug that can happen but should be fixed. 2 makes me 
doubt one thing that I previously appreciated: That TB actually tells the user 
what it does. 3 is a major problem, as messages can be lost unrecoverably.

Can you also confirm 3? What happens if you move a message >2MB from a local 
folder to an IMAP folder?

MESSAGE LOSS (was: Upload to IMAP folder broken)

2009-09-17 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hello Robert,

You know what's funny: The Bat DOES continue uploaden the messages, but without 
showing it in the Connection Centre! I noticed this morning that a folder where 
the upload was aborted yesterday was suddenly filled. Trying your MOVE-method I 
just found out that after The Bat drops the IMAP connection the upload stops 
for a while. But as soon as it reconnects to the IMAP server for checking mail, 
the upload continues. Without the Connection Centre telling you! I just noticed 
by the decreasing message count of the folder I was moving from.

Now here is the big drawback (and in fact a serious bug that should be fixed 
ASAP): Of a folder containing 610 messages, only 603 had arrived on the server! 
As I had MOVED the messages, 7 messages were lost. Some further testing showed 
that sometimes when The Bat drops the connection, it does delete the local 
message it was just uploading, even though it has not completely arrived at the 
server. So the server discards the half-uploaded message (which is correct) and 
The Bat deletes it also, even though it was not completely uploaded (which is a 
serious bug!).

What a crappy implementation is this?! Imagine Windows moving files from one 
drive to another, suddenly stopping for no reason, then resuming in the 
background without telling you, and deleting some files even though they never 
arrive at the destination. And now the worst part: If this happened, Microsoft 
would fix it asap. However, I estimate the chances of this being fixed in The 
Bat within the next year at somewhere around 3%.

Thanks for your help, the idea of moving instead of copying and doing in 
batches hadn't occured to me. I wonder, though, what will happen if I move the 
mails and TB disconnects even within a batch, will some of the mails be lost? I 
will give it a try (after making a backup of the backup).

I do have full server access and could do it that way, too. But just as 
exporting to Thunderbird, it has the disadvantage that message flags get los, 
as TB doesn't export them.

Upload to IMAP folder broken

2009-09-16 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hello Tbbeta,

When I upload a certain number of messages to an IMAP folder I repeatedly get 
problems:
- it's usually several hundred, in one case 10,000 messages
- I have them in a local folder in The Bat and would like to move them to an 
IMAP account. 

The way to go is to select all messages, and then "copy to folder". In theory 
this works, TB starts uploading them. However, after a few minutes it stops, TB 
saying "Server closed connection". 
On the server side, looking at Dovecot's log, the IMAP server says "Disconnect 
in APPEND", which means that the Client, aka TB, has terminated the connection.

What now? I believe that TB closes the connection, as the upload works just 
fine with Thunderbird.

Does anyone have any experiences with uploading to IMAP folders?

TB main window not selected in Taskbar

2009-09-03 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hi,

This bug has been around for at least two or three months, I thought the new 
version had maybe fixed it, but is still there:
- Settings: 
Always show icon in system tray: CHECKED
Do not put TB to windows task bar: NOT CHECKED
Minimize to System Tray: CHECKED

Now open the main window, then press Ctrl-N to open an Editor Window. Now 
switch back to the main window (Alt-Tab or just click inside the window): You 
will see that on the Task Bar the main TB Window does not show as active, but 
the editor window still does. This means that you cannot switch back by 
clicking on the editor window entry in the task bar: it IS still active, even 
though it is not on top! 
Same happens when switching from any other application to TB main window: The 
other applications task bar entry stays selected.

So the bug is that TB main window entry in the task bar does not appear as 
selected when switching to TB main window.

Can anyone confirm?

They have two characteristics that make defragmenting more difficult, 
especially if you don't have tons of free space on that partition: The files 
become huge for big folders, and they are extremely fragmented, because they 
get appended for every new email.

I just tried that: One of my Inboxes (of an IMAP account) is 1.2 GB in size and 
the 17CDC888.TBB file is split over 4085 fragments. I used folder/compress in 
The Bat, and it went surprisingly fast. Then I analyzed the partition again 
with the Windows defragmentation tool: Still more than 4000 fragments!

So what would be so bad about a solution where TB reserves chunks of several MB 
instead of appending a few bytes to the tbb files for every incoming message?

slow TB due to extreme fragmentation of message base

2009-07-06 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hello Tbbeta,

Probably others experience this too, is there maybe a way around it:

After using TB for quite a while, the TBB-Files of my main folders (e.g. INBOX) 
become extremely fragmented. The Windows defragmentation tool shows that they 
consist of several thousand fragments. Windows may not even be able to 
defragment them correctly (depending on the partition), and even if it does, it 
will leave thousands of small fragments of free space on the disc, so that the 
next big file you copy to that partition will be split in many many fragments 
again.

The reason, of course, is that TB keeps each folder in a file, which gets a 
little bigger for every new message in the folder. What happens after a while 
is that TB becomes slow: When I change the folder, I often have to wait some 
seconds for the message list to appear.

Can anything be done about this? Would it be possible, for example, to not 
enlarge the TBB file for every single new message, but for, say, steps of 100 
MB? Once these 100 MB get filled with messages, the file would be enlarged by 
another 100 MB. This way there would only be one new fragment for every 100 MB, 
not for every message.

entering more than one email address as recipient

2009-03-26 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hi Ritlabs,

Here some interesting feedback from new users (that acutally stopped using The 
Bat after a while):

When entering an address in the TO-Field, autocomplete puts the full name and 
address after just typing the first few letters. This is fine and the same as 
in other programs. BUT: Users are apparently used to hitting Enter and then 
being able to directly continue writing for entering the next recipient. This 
does not work in The Bat! After hitting Enter, the auto-completed part of the 
address stays selected, and if you just continue typing you will overwrite it. 

In The Bat, instead of hitting enter, you have to hit the End key followed by a 
comma, in order to take the auto-suggested address and continue entering the 
next one. 

Most people on this list will find this perfectly normal, since they are used 
to it, just like me. But apparently for new users this is not intuitive at all. 
In this case Ritlabs should have Enter behave exactly as it does in Outlook, as 
the current function of Enter in this case is no use at all: When confirming 
the auto-suggested part by hitting enter noone needs it to be still selected. 
You just confirmed it, so why would you overwrite it again.

Hi all,

If you have an AOL account (free pop and imap) and try to connect securely via 
SMTP or IMAP (regular or dedicated port doesn't matter) you will get error 
messages:

"The server didn't provide a root certificate during the session and there is 
no corresponding root certificate in your addess book. Continue?"

Now I can click on YES, but I will have to do this each time I check mail 
(every 5 minutes!). The button "add to trusted" is greyed out.


There needs to be an option "don't ask this again", even though I don't have 
the certificate, because I can't just go and ask the AOL server administrator 
to send it to me, or at least chances that he will respond are close to 0.

secure connection to AOL

2008-11-26 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hi all,

If you have an AOL account (free pop and imap) and try to connect securely via 
SMTP or IMAP (regular or dedicated port doesn't matter) you will get error 
messages:

"The server didn't provide a root certificate during the session and there is 
no corresponding root certificate in your addess book. Continue?"

Now I can click on YES, but I will have to do this each time I check mail 
(every 5 minutes!). The button "add to trusted" is greyed out.


There needs to be an option "don't ask this again", even though I don't have 
the certificate, because I can't just go and ask the AOL server administrator 
to send it to me, or at least chances that he will respond are close to 0.

Yes, that works. So I would need a script that extracts the part.txt, saves it 
as part.ics to a temp folder and then sends it to the calendar application.

Re[2]: appointments vcalendar part.txt meeting.ics

2008-11-07 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hi Stefan,

> This will be addressed soon.

Sounds good! Please find a solution that enables the user to add these 
appointments to the system's default calendar application, instead of simply 
adding it to The Bat's scheduler. Many people have sophisticated calendar 
applications that synchronize with Cellphones, Google Calendar, company's 
Intranet, etc...

appointments vcalendar part.txt meeting.ics

2008-11-07 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hi all,

I know I asked for this a while ago, but this is becoming more and more of a 
pain. In fact, it makes it extremely difficult to use TB in an office 
environment where other users have other email programs (like Thundbird and 
Outlook):

I continously get appointment / meeting invitations that have a simple part.txt 
attached, starting like this:

BEGIN:VCALENDAR
METHOD:REQUEST
PRODID:Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
VERSION:2.0
BEGIN:VTIMEZONE
TZID:W. Europe Standard Time
BEGIN:STANDARD
DTSTART:16010101T03
TZOFFSETFROM:+0200
TZOFFSETTO:+0100
...

Sometimes they have a meeting.ics file attached, which is fine, because then I 
can simply double click it and it opens in my standard calendar application. 
But most of these mails only contain part.txt. There needs to be a way to add 
these appointments to the system's calendar application. 

part.txt and meeting.ics appear to have the same structure, so if only I could 
automatically rename part.txt to part.ics on these kind of incoming mails, it 
would already help. But reading this text manually and trying to deciffer it is 
just not an option in the long run.

Is there already a solution for this?

Thanks for this update, I greatly appreciate it. And I'm sure I talk for many

Or, maybe even better: When creating a new message, have an option that I can 
be remindet about this message if no answer has been received within a certain 
number of days.

Search in IMAP folders

2008-10-16 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hi Tbbeta,

Looks like recently (with 4.0.2something) the search has been changed: Before 
the search was always sent to the IMAP server to be processed there, so it took 
forever. Now, apparently TB searches the local cache.

However, if I select the Advanced Option "Message has attachment" the search 
result is false: Many messages that do have attachments are not found. TB only 
finds those, that have the Attachment symbol in the message list. But on many 
messages (especially older ones that I haven't viewed since refreshing the 
Cache for the last time) this icon only appears when actually selecting the 
message.

So what can be done about this? Having to click OK each time you send/receive 
mail cannot be the solution. There needs to be an option to accept this 
connection permanently.

Ok, I will try that. 

But The Bat's behaviour is still odd. Why doesn't it let me add the certificate 
by clicking on the button "Add to trusted"? With other certificates has worked 
before.

certificate error

2008-09-29 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hello Tbbeta,

When connecting to our new mail server (mailext.denkwerk.com) on port 25, 993 
or 143, I get the message that the server didn't provide a root certificate. I 
can continue, but the error message pops up at each connect, with the "add to 
trusted" button greyed out. I really don't get this, the certificate seems to 
be ok. So I checked in Thunderbird and there it works fine, I can permanently 
accept it.

Can anyone reproduce? Here is what the TB log says:

URL Manager question

2008-09-25 Thread Carsten Guthardt-Schulz
Hi Tbbeta,

Consider this: I receive a new email and realize that images are not 
downloaded. Probably I blocked the servers some time in the past. But now I 
need the images and would like to 
- either download them manually for this email only
- or at least unblock the servers

I click on the URL manager icon, expecting that this email's URLs will appear. 
But no, nothing appears. I would have to manually find the servers (of which I 
don't even know the address without looking into the email source) in the 
blocked list, which contains hundreds of entries.

Am I missing something or is this really not user-friendly?

Well, if I scroll back to messages sent during winter, I can see that the dates 
are identical and the one hour gap is gone.

However, I don't see where I can enable or disable daylight saving time. 
Windows is set to adjust the time automatically to daylight saving time, so the 
system clock gets changed, but I haven't heard of a daylight saving time flag 
in Windows or something similar. Could you let me know where I can 
enable/disable this?

Hi Tbbeta,

Wenn I have a look at my sent mail folder (no matter which account) the 
"Received" date is always one hour ahead of the "Created" date. The created 
date is the right one, so if I send an email right now then the Received date 
will be one hour in the future.

Can anyone confirm this?
