There is an additional component that I neglected to write about in my first post: I use The Bat in two locally networked computers. One is a pc desktop, that has the initial installation of The Bat. The second is a laptop on which I have loaded The Bat, but when The Bat is accessed, it reads mail off of the desktop. Mail can be downloaded and sent from either machine, and viewed simultaneously; however the mail actually "resides" on the desktop, with the laptop's registry files merely indicating that the actual mail files are residing on the desktop. Do you know if this type of network setup will work when running XP inside of VMware's Fusion? I expect the desktop will be switched to a Mac at some point, but not right away. -- Avi Avram Sacks Using The Bat 4.0.18 on Windows XP Pro sp3 Current version is 4.2.9.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: The Bat and Mac computing
Yes, I switched over to a Mac about a month ago with VMWare Fusion. Everything works great with thebat! and all your other windows-based programs. The only difference is that you are using Mac and Windows together, instead of only windows; to get into thebat! email, you simply click on the VMWare icon in the 'dock' which takes you directly to your windows desktop. I absolutely love it. drking On 8/17/09 12:34 AM, "Achdut18" wrote: > I am contemplating switching from a Windows machine to a Mac. > However, I will need to run some windows-based software, so I would > get something like VMware's Fusion that would allow me to do this. > > Has anyone used The Bat on a Mac, either directly, or using windows > emulation software, such Fusion?

The Bat and Mac computing
I am contemplating switching from a Windows machine to a Mac. However, I will need to run some windows-based software, so I would get something like VMware's Fusion that would allow me to do this. Has anyone used The Bat on a Mac, either directly, or using windows emulation software, such Fusion? If so, what has been your experience?

You're mentioning 3000 messages in your message base, do you mean the complete message base or only that of the folder that you've limited?

Limiting stored messages
I have my TB! Folder Properties set to have "Maximum number of stored messages is: 500" and "Keep messages in the base for (days): 40." Their checkboxes are both ticked. Also, "On exit" actions have both "Remove old messages" and "Compress the folder" ticked, as is "Use folder-specific deletion settings." So why do I have over 3,000 messages in the message base?
