The thing is, it IS different, so I would expect to see
some difference in the result. But no, no difference at
all. The messages just sit there ...
This is probably going to be something monumentally
stupid, but I have a lot of filters that DO work, and I'm
not sure I don't have one right now that is working across
accounts!

Yes, I've had other filters that worked fine across

This is all true :-) However, it would get it from the
gmail inbox to the perseus inbox, where the local filter
which *does* work in that account could shuffle it off to
it's correct folder.
Theoretically.

Well, it's true that there are some definite weirdnesses
about IMAP accounts, which I don't much like, in truth.
But for assorted reasons I went that route here, and I'm
kind of doggedly determined to make it work, you know?

Filtering across accounts
Hey Batters - I use a lot of filters here, the filters are one of the things that make it impossible for me to use a different mailer, but I'm having some issues now. I've had to rebuild my whole email db, as I mentioned recently, and I've also acquired a few more accounts. Because of the problems I've been having the last year or so with the scrambled db (post trojan infection some installs/reinstalls didn't take as well as I expected, and to make a long story short, I have abandoned 10+ years of email and started over) people are often using the 'wrong' addy to email me, and though I'll eventually get them sorted out, in the meantime my correspondence is a shambles. I thought the easy way to deal with this would just be to filter these emails from the 'wrong' account to a folder in the 'right' account, since the filter options imply strongly that you can do just this. However, this isn't happening, and I can't figure out why. Since a couple of hours of tinkering had no useful result, and one of the options in the filters is to 'redirect the message', I thought that would probably work. However, I struck out there, too. I should say that I have both POP and IMAP accounts in this mess, and at the moment I am trying to filter from a POP account (gmail) to an IMAP (local, my freebsd server running postfix) account. So .. can anybody tell me where I'm going wrong?

Automatic backups
Greetings all,
In continuing to research this problem (for me anyway) I discovered an email
(http://www.mail-archive.com/tbudl@thebat.dutaint.com/msg89326.html) which
contains a regex which supposedly will produce a backup which has a filename
containing both the date and time.
With this info I proceeded in this fashion: Under TOOLS>SCHEDULER I get the
following display:
Please note, the ACTIONS line is highlighted.
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4076/4826693567_2b7b6893ca_b.jpg
If I right-click on the highlighted ACTION line I get this:
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4096/4826749585_39baee5213_b.jpg
Clicking on EDIT gives me this:
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4078/4826765417_14afdb4daf_b.jpg
Notice the "To backup file (standard)" button is selected and further notice
the partially visible filename contained in the box.
Someone commented on the post mentioned in the above first paragraph that when
he tried this regex, TB! produced a backup titled with a
3-or-4-digit-number.tbk. The number preceding the ".tbk" was the time the file
was created i.e. if the backup ran at 1105am the file name would be 1105.tbk
He mentioned that since a scheduler by definition is always going to run at the
same time, the backup would fail apparently because of it attempting to use the
same filename.
I personally don't know how to use regex expressions but I was able to take the
originally posted regex and remove the part which generated the un-needed time
string. The resulting regex looks like this:
D:\Bat
backup\%SETPATTREGEXP="(\d+).(\d+)\.(\d{4})"%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%DATESHORT"%Subpatt="3"%Subpatt="2"%Subpatt="1".tbk.
When I told the scheduler to execute the action NOW, this is the resulting file
as it appears on my D: drive:
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4080/4827422984_610599fba8_b.jpg
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4094/4827423784_9a94e312fa_b.jpg
Notice there is no actual filename but only an icon followed by .tbk. However,
if you hover the cursor over the icon you get this:
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4079/4827438052_79c30877ba_b.jpg
As you can see the type, date and size of the file is displayed.
I have no idea why an icon is created instead of a text string showing the date
but I would love to know. Something in the regex perhaps?
Anyway, as a test I created a backup (today, the 25th) which resulted in an
icon filename as mentioned, and then changed the date on my computer and
generated another backup by the same above method. TB!, apparently recognizing
that the original icon filename backup was created "yesterday" (the 25th),
overwrote it and created a new icon filename with tomorrow's date(the 26th)
appearing in the hover.
This apparently solves my original problem and I can run with it but it sure
would be neat if TB! created a new, different backup instead of overwriting the
existing one.

Roelof, can you give us an example of just how you are able to accomplish that? I tried to do that using several of the examples I found in the archives but all I was ever able to do was get a filename which was the exact string of characters used in the macro which should have equated out to a date or date/time filename. I found an old email on this subject, written by me coincidentally, which seems to indicate that the macro: autobackup-%DATE(-mm-dd)-%TIME(hh-mm-ss).tbk would produce a backup filename consisting of the date and time. Alas, all it did (I just tried it) was produce a backup with the filename "autobackup-%DATE(-mm-dd)-%TIME(hh-mm-ss).tbk". It looks like the %DATE and %TIME aren't being recognized by TB!, at least not for an automatically generated filename. I even tried to simplify it by using "autobackup-%DATE-%TIME.tbk" and I ended up with a backup file called: autobackup-%DATE-%TIME.tbk. -- Jack LaRosa Currently using The Bat! ver: 4.0.38 for now.

Re: Automatic backups
Hi! With backups you should rely on the grandfather principle. So you have the current backup, the last one and the one before that. Therefore I would like to see an option that you could set a schedule for three backups which will be overwritten everytime they are triggered.
