Just Discovered Bayes Filter
Hi I've been a user of Mailwasher Pro for a good while and generally I'm very happy with it but its a pain to have two programs running for mail sorting and collection. :( I'm just trying out Bayes Filter and it seems to answer my needs. My only gripe at the moment is the 'hidden' menu selections to mark mail as junk or not. Am I missing something? Can I have a convenient button or just one right click without having to navigate menu levels? -- Best regards Barry Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

OK, if I've solved this mystery then everyone will see this post via Gmane which apparently requires genuine email addresses so my [EMAIL PROTECTED] wasn't allowed. -- Regards Barry Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Very interesting, in Dialog my email came up as gobbledygook (see above) but from TBudl in came through as intended as "barryh at nospam dot kentra dot co dot uk" -- Regards Barry Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Trying to understand Bayesit
Hi all I've been trying out Bayesit now found a few days and I'm struggling to come to terms with how this plug-in is *supposed* to work. It seems to me that in simple terms the plugin assigns a 'score' to each email, and dependent on the score allocated TB determines what ultimately happens to that email. I've been 'training' or at least telling TB what is junk over the last few days. Currently 107 spam mails against 170 genuine. I've had a look at the bayesit log file and it seems to me that the score applied to every mail that has come in is 1! If this is the correct line: Value for The Bat!: 1 If it isn't then I would like to understand the log file more; if it is the score then what's going on? Does anyone know of anything that explains the function of Bayesit in a little more depth? Cos I'm sure that the reason it doesn't appear to be working for me is a lack of understanding on my part. -- Regards Barry Using TB version 3.0.1.33 and BayesIt! 0.8.0 Release Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Help with Bayesit
Hi I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I must be doing something wrong! Bayesit is now reporting 100% Spam Errors This is right 'cos I'm having to mark all incoming spam. Nothing is being 'junked'.

How to Zap Velva Woollen
Hi Every day I get about 20-50 virus mails from "Velva Woollen" Not a problem more an irritation. Can I set up a filter that would delete them off the server without downloading them?

3.5 Fade In/Out Menus?
Hi I'm finding my way around 3.5 and I've noticed that right-click menus are slow to display on my computer, faidng in and out quite slowly. Is this a Windows XP thing or a hidden setting in in V3.5?

Some help with IMAP
Hi OK I'm a complete newbie to IMAP, sorry. I've grasped the concept of all messages being located on the remote server, in my case my ISP, and I've made the connection and seen it work. Very cool to see a new message immediately appear in the Inbox. So, if I want to keep a message on the local PC I guess I can copy the message from the remote Inbox to a local folder. But, do I create the local folder as part of the IMAP account or do I create a 'Common Folder' or a 'Virtual Folder'. If someone can give me some pointers I'm sure I'll get to grips with it. And how does the likes of BayesIT deal with remote spam? Oh, I'll have to go another message has popped up!! :) -- Best regards Barry Current version is 3.62.09 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Thanks Dwight, now I've grasped that feature. IMAP seems to work well for me, but I'm not sure which I prefer. I can see the reason for wanting to store all my mail at one location, but, I also like the idea of downloading mails from the server to a local machine. To me it 'feels' more secure. ;) -- Best regards Barry Current version is 3.62.09 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

There's your > backup. OK I can see your point of view. I just need to change my methodology and learn a different way of working. I assume that I can have different folders on the server for day to day filtering? And then selectively pull down emails that I feel need to be on the local machine. -- Best regards Barry Current version is 3.62.09 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Thread Creation Error?
Hi Suddendly my installation of TheBat! has gone pear shaped! I keep getting the following error: "Thread creation error: Not enough storage is available to process this command" Eh? The error seems to occur whenever a folder is accessed. How many Gigabytes does it need? I've got a minimum 20Gb free on all partitions, 512Mb RAM running XPSP2 with all updates, all drives are kept defragged by PerfectDisk 7 and my 'temp' folder is clean.

Hi Chris Yes, they are on the same server and I notice that sometimes they do run concurrently, so I guess it must be down to the load on the server.
