Re: Synchronisation problem
K At that point, it seems that my notebook computer now has on it the K new messages and folders from the desktop, but the filters are the K same. For example, this weekend I added some new filters and modified K some others. None of those filters or changes are on the notebook K even though I afterwards synchronized as set forth above (all K synchronization boxes were checked off so it isn't due to not checking K off some boxes). This happenned to me as well. I'm not sure, but it may be fixed in the current beta version. You may want to check. My laptop just died on me, so I cannot really test this now... K Also, I notice that the synchronization *adds* new messages to the K notebook Bat. It does not delete messages that I deleted on the K desktop. For example, this weekend I read through about 1000 old This is definitely the way it behaves. And it's a poor way to behave especially since TB keeps track of _deleted_ messages as opposed to messages that you never had, so it could easily do the deletion for you. However, I don't complain too much about the deleted messages because on my setup I delete them from server when I delete them from TB so my other system, when connected will never read them (I never have both my laptop and desktop read emails at the same time). Still, the option would be really useful. Another, more subtle problem, is filing the messages. I get all my emails (except for mailing lists) in my inbox. I file it afterwards depending on the topic, and I would like this filing to be synchronized as well when I call synchronize. After sorting my emails on the desktop, the synchronization to the laptop would add the sorted messages in their rightfully folders, but it would not delete them from the inbox (as they were moved). The remove all dupes doesn't help either because it applies per folder not per account, which would be another usefull option. I guess I will send an email to the developers asking about these options...

Re[2]: Synchronize features
CT 4. Can the synchronization be executed directly using a network CT connection between the two clients? A how is it done currently via direct local network? (I've never tried it) Currently it's not done via local network. It's a 3-step process where you first create an index of the account you want to update. Then you bring this file over to the other computer and execute there step two generating a file that incorporates the differences (actually the additions only) that the second system has compared to the first one. Finally you copy this file and apply it as the third step to your initial system which will be updated. I was thinking that it would be really cool to have the two clients talk and execute this transfer without going through all these steps. As I said, I realize this may introduce a lot of potential problems and it means adding some capabilities that are not really natural to a mail client. I will have to check how other systems provide for synchronizing... -- Ciprian -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
Re[2]: Synchronize features
CT 2. Could you add the possibility to synchronize the sorting filters as CT well? I would rather set them up in one place (wherever I happen to be CT as I need them) and then just update the other machine through CT synchronization. CT 3. Same for templates. Both system, folder and AB. ACM This is already there. IF you look in the synchronisation panel. ACM You'll see the options to synchronise AB and account properties. ACM Templates are stored at various levels so if you synchronise the account ACM properties, the quick templates will be synchronised. For folder ACM templates, synchronising the folders will do this. For address book ACM templates, synchronising the address book will do this. ACM IOW's, you can completely synchronise the settings etc. I did this ACM regularly between The Bat! and SecureBat! for some time. How about the sorting filters. That is not really part of the account settings nor the folder settings. Also I generally avoid synchronizing the account properties. The settings of a home/modem connection are quite different from those on my laptop which sits on a lan. For instance I check the email every 2 min at work, but only every 5 or 10 at home. I guess I can live with resetting that manually though. :) Thanks, Ciprian -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
