IMAP tutorials anywhere?
G'day Battists. OK, I've decided that IMAP is something I really need to do, as I'll be travelling a bit, and as a media manager I really need to access my email all the time. My idea is to use my desktop as the mail machine with the mail-server, etc, and the laptop as my travelling machine. Are there any tutorials anywhere on how to go about setting it up, etc? I've googled for a while, but not found anything particularly useful. Anything out there? TIA.

Moving TheBat! to laptop for a couple of weeks
G'day Battists. I have to go overseas for a couple of weeks for work, and need to take my email with me. I currently run TheBat!(Home) on my desktop, with the program installed on c: and the data on d:. My laptop is configured similarly, with data on d:. Can I just install the bat on the laptop then copy over my program files and the data directory (with sub-directories), or do I need to back it up on the desktop and then restore on the laptop?

Yes :-) Roelof Furthermore some filters (especially the more complex ones) acted a Roelof bit different than what might have been expected. FWIW, I ended up deleting all my old filters and rebuilding everything, as it was easier than stuffing around with the old ones and fixing the problems caused by conversion. I used the opportunity to reorganise my filter structure using the new sub-filters, so I managed to justify it a bit that way... Roelof However on the beta list we see a lot of improvement. (And every now Roelof and then a bit of regression.) And, at times, bizarre behaviour where the filters work when you go to bed, and don't when you get up.
