Re: 4.1.14.1
Up and running here Sorry for threading this is the wrong place, but the 4.1.14.1 announcement message disappeared. 4.1.14.1 crashes repeatedly on my computer. I think it occurs most often when I right-click something, but not always. I am running Vista Ultimate. I would have installed 4.1.14.2 but the only difference has to do with delayed mail. Since most of my replies are late anyway, I'm not sure why I'd want to make the situation worse ;-) -- Dougmailto:d...@higbyfamily.com ** TheBat! 4.1.14.1 (RC1) on Windows Vista Current beta is 4.1.14.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Strange mailbox behavior
Hello , Can't say if this is related to the recent beta 4.0.20, but TheBat! has gotten extremely sluggish. When I click on a message in my inbox, I lose control of the mouse for a few seconds before I can open the message. But worse yet, I just noticed that my changes to the message status are not kept. If I mark a message read, or I flag it, it goes back to Unread and unflagged the minute I leave the folder and come back. None of the unread messages can be marked unread either. I ran maintenance on the folder and deleted a whole bunch of old messages, now there are about 1500 messages in this box. But none of this has changed the situation and no errors were detected. This only happens in this one inbox, my other boxes are fine. -- Best regards, Doug mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** TheBat! 4.0.20 on Windows XP Current beta is 4.0.20.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

HTML table commands reversed
Hello, Nice work on v. 4, I love being able to see the images in my html mails. The insert column on the left/right buttons work in the opposite manner when working with an html table. If I hover over the button, it says insert collumn on the right, but inserts it on the left, and vice-versa. Also, the icons are inconsistent in this manner because the light and dark squares work opposite for inserting rows and columns. -- Best regards, Doug mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** TheBat! 4.0.12.2 on Windows XP Current beta is 4.0.12.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Voyager exception processing errors
Hello, Something happened today and I am getting weird error messages. It seems my virtual folders became real folders that were empty, and parts of my main folder structure were duplicated with empty names, further down in the directory tree. I restored from a backup (made automatically only two hours earlier!!!). I performed maintenance on all the mail folders, but now am getting these errors occasionally: --- Windows - No Disk --- Exception Processing Message c013 Parameters 75b6bf9c 4 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c --- Cancel Try Again Continue --- I checked the memory stick for errors, but there were none. Any suggestions? -- Best regards, Doug mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** TheBat!

I never thought to do this and **wow** was it fragmented! and? so what? was the drive formatted with NTFS or FAT? unlike FAT, fragmented NTFS files do take extra structures to be read, thus slowing the speed. not as much as with moving mechanical heads, but it might somehow get noticeable. and NTFS fragmentation may take extra space too, although it usually fits in the MFT. The USB flash drive referred to was formatted as FAT, and after defragmentation gave a huge speed increase, and shut down a lot faster. Compressing the files on exit led to rewriting them every time, which led to very bad defragmentation. For the technical reason, it has to do with either the fact that sequential reads are faster than random reads on flash drives, or the fact that many more i/o operations were needed to read the fragmented data. Maybe the difference wouldn't have been as noticeable if it had been formatted as FAT32. -- Dougmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** TheBat!

Hello Nick, Monday, May 21, 2007, 2:25:51 PM, you wrote: I reformatted my USB drive to NTFS. I'm guessing it came formatted as FAT as I never bothered to reformat it upon buying it. Running it as NTFS, I can close Voyager down and it closes and clears memory faster almost instantaneously. How many Voyager lives did you use up in this test? It seems that every time I reformat my drive, I have to reactivate the key. I think I am down to one or two activations left, so I am not eager to procede with the reformat to NTFS, even though I've been wanting to do this for some time. -- Best regards, Dougmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** TheBat!

Re: Bat download message problems
Hello Timothy, Monday, May 21, 2007, 3:32:06 PM, you wrote: 1. Extremely large delay when sending emails, the bat connects to the email server and just sits there for approximately 30 seconds before starting to send the email. Your problems could be related to a poor DNS server. If it is standard pop3 and smtp, you could try using the tcpip address instead of mail.domain.com, or you could set your computer to use the opendns DNS servers (just Google OpenDNS). If using wireless, it could be a problem with your wireless protocol, where it fades in and out of connection. Or, it could be your email host that is overworked and slow to respond. What is your server timeout set to in account properties under Transport ? 2. I leave the bat on all day, and retrieve new messages every 5 minutes, After running the bat for an hour or so it locks up when downloading messages, it will just sit there with the last message being downloaded and will never finish. I've had this behaviour too with poor internet connections and a dozen people trying to connect on a wireless connection. If you tell us that Outlook Express races through sending and receiving, then there may be reason to suspect that The Bat! is at fault. -- Best regards, Dougmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** TheBat!

I dont understand, how _measuring_ translates into increased performance (maybe my English). You meant _optimize_ instead of _measure_? Sorry, I skipped a step. I have a number of USB memory sticks. Some seemed slow, and others were faster. When I found the tool to measure performance, I could identify the one that had the best performance and I switched Voyager to that for a definite performance increase. Even though my lists settings say to receive a copy of my own messages, they don't appear in the thread.

Re: Voyager 3.99.4 Slow Printing
Hello Paul, Saturday, May 12, 2007, 11:15:22 PM, you wrote: I totally agree with you Vili. Also, flash drives perform much faster on Win2K than XP. Often a factor of 2 or 3 to 1. The difference in performance of USB hard drives is much closer between the 2 OSs and I am sure it is related to the performance of the hard drive as opposed to the performance of USB flash drives. Also, using an external hard drive is 2-3 times safer regarding lost data during a power failure simply because of performance. It would be nice to have some hard facts to support the claims being made in this thread. I would suggest using HD Tune 2.53, a freeware utility to benchmark the hard drive vs the memory stick. I use it to measure my memory stick's performance, which translates immediately into increased performance in The Bat! Also, this is my third post to this thread.

Shutdown dialog
Hello developers of TheBat! I want to thank you first of all for the new shutdown dialog box that lists the active processes. It is much clearer and more informative than the old dialog. Now, with the current dialog, there is one point to clarify: OK, Later, or Cancel If I say OK, it will attempt to close in 60 seconds, or whatever I delay I set. If I say Later, what would it do? Attempt to shut down at some unknown point in the future? If I say Cancel, it will exit the dialog and not attempt to shutdown. So, it isn't clear to me what Later means in this context. -- Best regards, Doug mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using Voyager 3.99.3, but there is supposed to be a quick template option to insert this information?
