That sounds VERY attractive, but at this stage of the game I don't have the first clue how to begin. I expect I do have the resources; I'm running on a Dell Inspiron laptop with a 2Gz dual core Pentium CPU and 4G of RAM. > An additional advantage is that I can access TB! from any machine on my > LAN, via the RDP server built into VirtualBox.

And maybe it would run some apps I'd like to keep which (according to the Wine community) do NOT run in Wine. I really need to be able to run Corel, too; Inkscape does a lot, but not everything I need. Where Linux is concerned, I am truly 'only an egg'. I will eventually get up to speed, but I don't suppose it will happen overnight. Thank you for offering another option, though. I am happy to run with native applications if they can use my data, but there are some things that just don't seem to be available, so it will be necessary to keep some Win apps. I'll keep this, and I may come back to you.

That could be, but I have no idea how to find out. There is no such file that I can find in any directory under TheBat!, or under Wine that has a .tmp extension. It seems to be deleting it after the fact. But what I really don't understand is why this is happening in *this* account, but not in the others. They are all defined as POP. The others have more security on them, but that's the only difference I can see. Unless the fact that the POP server is defined as an ip would be causing a problem? There is an exceptions log, if that would be of use? > What file system are you using in Wine? I don't know how to find that out, either. I have left the Wine configuration strictly alone, because I don't understand any of it's controls. The only thing I changed on it was to stipulate Win7 as the OS. On looking again, I can't find anything in the config that stipulates a file system. L>> Oh ...

And thanks for asking questions I can't answer, but can seek answers for :-) Eventually I'll learn this stuff.

Strange error message
Hi Batters - I recently migrated from Win7 to Linux. I fully expected to have to give up TheBat! after all these years of dependency, but I was thrilled to find it loaded perfectly in Wine (v1.3.30, if anyone is interested). I loaded up my isp account and my several gmail accounts, and held my breath and pushed the fetch button. They all responded as expected. I tested send, and had transport in both directions. Home free, right? Then I tried to load my personal account from my personal mail server, which runs Dovecot. I loaded it up, and when I told it to fetch, nothing happened. I loaded it to POP, like the others. On doing some testing, I found to my fury that Thundebird fetched it fine. I. Can't. Live. With. Thunderbird. Especially not when all the rest of the accounts work fine in TB!. There are 1,900+ messages parked on that server, and apparently TB! can see them, because it counts them off as it goes, but it doesn't bring them to the inbox. The error messages show in the bottom log bar, but not in the account log. The messages are: FETCH - could not store message (file name-c:\users\lynn\temp\bat*.tmp) String looks like hex, 4 characters. And, when it is finished not fetching the messages it counts off: FETCH - Failed to store all received the messages into the message base. Downloaded 1956 messages, stored 0 message(s). I'm stumped. My Linux mentors are stumped. I know that RitLabs does't support Linux or Wine, but this seems to be a TB! error. And I know that there are a few rogue batters who are successfully running TB! in Wine. And I'm praying to the cyber gods that there is at least ONE person here, or perhaps someone who can point me to someone, or a place, where I can find out how to fix this. Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light - . Oh ... I'd like to know whether TB! is a 32 bit or 64 bit app - I looked on the site, but couldn't find it. tia.
