Server Timeouts
Hello TBUDL, I often have a problem where the connection window stays open and seems to be doing nothing. When I abort all tasks and connect again it usually goes through without a problem. This is OK when I am watching for emails, but when the PC is unattended it is a real pain, since no emails will be picked up and processed while I am away. The Server Timeout setting looks as if it should kill off a server if it has hung for x seconds, but this never seems to happen. Is there a method of making this work or is it intended for some other function? I have had to write a utility to kill TheBat every so often and restart it so this does not happen, but I feel there should be an easier way.

Greetings TB Listers,
This is your monthly message from the moderation team to remind you
of the primary purpose of this discussion list.

TBUDL Mission statement
The TBUDL list has been set up for the purpose of discussing The
Bat! and how to use it. It is a community of users ready and able to
help new users get to grips with some of the capabilities of this
flexible email client. More complex issues are discussed on the
TBTECH list (see below for details).
Simply send messages to mailto:TBUDL@thebat.dutaint.com to send it
to the whole list.
See the notes at the end of this message for details about how to
manage your list membership or to leave the list.
It would probably be a good idea for you to set up a folder to keep
TBUDL messages in. If you do this, the next most useful thing to
have in place is an automatic filter to move mail from your inbox
into your TBUDL folder.
Set up a filter for incoming mail which looks for:
Header Field [Reply-To] Contains [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The Roguemoticon Project
It's nice to see your contact's face in the header ... and for them
to see yours. That's what roguemoticons are all about. If you wish
to add yourself, then you'll need to visit this site
http://www.pcwize.com/thebat
What this place will do for you is to allow you to create an
account, add your image and then let you download a .ZIP file
containing all the files you'll need to be able so see people's
faces without having to send or receive any real images in any
messages.
To trigger the roguemoticon display in the message header for anyone
reading your message using TB, you have the choice of using the
X-Rogue: header or a signature trigger.
How to use a signature trigger
The image is triggered by a 'Handle' you've defined in your
account, and when that Handle appears in a message it gets
replaced on the client side by the corresponding image. A handle
could look like anything you want it to look like pretty much.
For example:
:Leif_Gregory:
Just add this text to your standard message signature block.
How to create the X-Rogue: header
You can do that with this macro:
%SetHeader('X-Rogue',':your_handle:')%- in your templates for
this and other tb-lists.
However, the macro alone won't do the trick.
TB'll say: 'Hey, that's not any RFC822 header I know about', so
you'll have to define it as such:
Options .. Preferences .. Messages .. Message headers .. 'Add'
Now you'll get a pop-up to define the header
Display as: X-Rogue (or whatever, it isn't very important)
RFC header: X-Rogue
Uncheck: 'This field is an address list' (because it isn't)
Check: 'Allow this field to be edited in the message editor'
Uncheck: 'Display this field in the scrollable part of the
header pane'
Now you're done and every TB-user can see your lovable face when
they've installed the roguemoticons.
For you to see peoples faces:
To get this going, you should be running TB! v2.12 or later. Fetch
the following file:
http://www.pcwize.com/thebat/smileys/rogues.zip
Unzip it to the 'Images' directory that's in your TB! installation
directory: C:\Program Files\The Bat!\Images
You should now have a directory called 'rogues' containing many
images as well as the file 'rogues.msl' in your Images directory.
Go into the preferences, and bring up the View/Editor options. Now
hit Shift-CTRL-Alt-T while TB! is in focus. This will re-fetch
TB!'s smiley set from disk and load the new images.

Re: Server Timeouts
Hiya I have the same problem since installing 3.5. I wasn't sure if it were only me it is happening to as loading 3.5 also coincided with my ISP doing some maintenance to the email system. I seem to recall this happened befor in a previous version - but can't remember how it got fixed. Anyone remember this ?

HELP IMAP4 + multi connections
Hello , I have a major problem. I just noticed that IMAP4 can have multiple connections which is great. I changed my setting straight from 1 to 10 connections at a time. but then when I open TB! it crashes everysingle time I open it - well actually ten times one for each connection it appears. I cant change the setting back because it crashes too fast to do anything. Is there an account.xxx file i can edit and how/where to adjust back? is there any other solution? Should this be working properly? Could it be a mail server issue? help Andrew -- Best regards, tr1be mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Current version is 3.5.0.17 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: HELP IMAP4 + multi connections
Hello tr1be, I can't get any mail because everytime I login thebat! crashes. I just need to reset account settings back to 1 connection and all should be well again but I can't get into thebat to do it.

I also checked with my isp and my mail server can handle 10 connections and see the connections working fine on the server when i try to connect. any ideas?
