Mail directory
Hello Everyone, I just reinstalled my system, imported all messages and everything is sweet. However, I notice that the mail directory is stored on c:drive in appdata/ Can I change this to a different drive to keep my data and operating software separate? I know I can backup to external drives but in case of a crash/ system failure I would still lose some of my mail. Just don't want to make changes now if somebody already knows that this may cause problems down the track? -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 3.99.29 on XP Current version is 3.99.27.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Can I just cut/paste everything to a new location on the other drive? -- Tom using TheBat! 3.99.29 on XP Current version is 3.99.27.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
