 Sorry for this very late response.

 This msg here mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] had a very
 funny behavior. When I first time moved the cursor to this posting I
 saw some writing. But a few seconds later this msg got encrypted. When
 just looking with TB! to the posting it seems empty. But Exporting it
 and dragging it into an Editor shows very clearly it is encrypted (see
 my two attachment).

 Honestly, I wonder why there where members that could reply to Jim.
 Any Idea?

When I sent this message, I was in the process of getting certified in
thawte's Web of Trust program, and had a provisional certificate.  I
since have been authenticated, and changed my certificate to reflect
my actual identity.

I deleted the provisional certificate from PGP, which may have pulled
that public key from servers.  I suspect that is why there is a
problem.  I don't believe there is a problem with TB.

I gave up on BayesIt.  It simply was not catching very much spam.  I installed

It has a nice web-based interface, and it is catching almost all the spam after three

TB hanging while receiving messages from POP3 server

2004-07-05 Thread Jim McMaster
I have been evaluating TB for two weeks, and have found a show-stopper that will 
prevent my using it.  I am using TB 2.11.02 on Windows XP Home.  I use ZoneAlarm Pro 
5.0.590.043 as a firewall, use a LinkSys wireless router for the home network, and 
connect to comcast.net through a cable modem.

TB checks for email every five minutes.  Every so often, as in 3-4 times per day, the 
Connection Centre shows all bytes of all emails received, 1 second estimated time 
left, and just stops.  The log shows all emails received, but TB never closes the 
connection.  I can close Connection Centre, delete the task, abort all tasks, but next 
time the Connection Centre opens, the same receive task shows with the same stats and 
time remaining.  Apparently, TB is unable to stop the hung task. 

If I could just kill it, the problem would not be so severe, but when I try to exit 
TB, I get a popup telling me tasks are still active, and do I want to exit when they 
finish.  Whether I click YES, NO or ABORT, the popup goes away, and TB does not exit.  
I cannot start new processes, like the Task Manager.  If task manager is already open, 
and I try to End Task on TB, the task manager hangs.  If I try to LogOff or shut down 
Windows, I get the same popup as if I tried to exit TB.

The only solution I have found is the reset button.  I cannot afford to do that to my 
system 3-4 times per day.

Does anyone have a solution for this?  Or do I need to try again to find a replacement 
for Outlook Express?

 Hi Jim,

 Try this and you will see the difference.
 You were combining the filters were you want to have them acted on
 separately.

No, I really did want to combine the filters.  I was saying if *not* addressed to me, 
and not from (yahoogroups or projo or longspeakbsa, then trash it.  This runs after 
all the filters that refile messages to specific folders.

Roelof gave me the answer.  yahoogroups.com is not in the sender headers.  Looking for 
it in kludges fixed the problem.  The sender domain is yahoo.com.  Since I sometimes 
get spam from YahooMail users, I do not want to let the entire domain through.

Thanks to all of you for the help to a stumbling new user.  BayesIt got maybe 40% of 
the spam.  This filter now gets almost all the rest.

 Even though your message was blank except for the list footer, I
 suggest that you could try this:

Sorry, I was trying to recreate the table in HTML.

What I have in the filter definition is:

Strings   LocationPresence
[EMAIL PROTECTED]   Recipient No
projo.com SenderNo
yahoogroups.com  SenderNo

After I have pulled out lists destined for other folders, I want any message without 
my address not from either projo.com or yahoogroups.com to be placed in the junk 
folder.
 
When this filter runs, everything from yahoogroups goes to the Junk folder.  What am I 
doing wrong?  Or is this entirely the wrong approach?

Folders disappearing in The Bat!

2004-06-22 Thread Jim McMaster
Using The Bat! v%THEBATVERSION on %WINDOWSPLATFORMNAME
%-%WINDOWSMAJORVERSION.%WINDOWSMINORVERSION Build %-
%WINDOWSBUILDNUMBER%WINDOWSCSDVERSION

I just installed a trial of The Bat! yesterday.  I imported messages
from Outlook Express, which had several sub-folders defined.  I moved
these folders from the import folder to the top level of my account.

I set up message filters to move incoming mail to these folders, and
all seemed to be going well.

This morning, when I logged on and started The Bat!, none of these
folders showed in the folder view.  All the message filters have been
reset to refile messages to Inbox.  When I look at my email folder,
I see all the folders I set up, and each contains a MESSAGES.TBB and
MESSAGES.TBI folder, but I am unable to see them in The Bat!

How do I fix this?

 I think that you have your certificate already under extras -
 internet options - contents - certificates!

 From there you can export the certificate to a special folder or to the desktop!

 Under TheBat - account - properties - edit personal certificates
 - you can then import it from there - also into your addressbook
 under your email-address for which you have got the certificate.

Bingo...I found the Import function, but could not figure out I had to
expert it from Windows first.

 It shouldn't happen again. If it does you'd better check your harddisk
 (scandisk, defrag, etc), because it's a sign something's gone awry.


Okay, thanks.  I run a defrag every night, and I am not having any
other disk problems.  it happened the first time I shut down TB and
logged off, so I just wondered if it was a common occurrence.
