Re[2]: TB Is Crawling

2002-06-14 Thread Michael T. Ashby

I tried compressing all mailboxes to see if that would help, but I'm
afraid that it does not. :(

Any other suggestions? At this point, I'm going to have to move them
to a different e-mail client if I can't find a fix.

TB Is Crawling

2002-06-13 Thread Michael T. Ashby

I posted to the list at the end of last week, but didn't have any
success finding solution. I have a little bit more information, so I
thought I'd take another run at the list and see if anyone has any
suggestions. :)

We have several employees all running TB 1.60q on Windows98 boxes.
Most everyone has had no problems with TB, but I have two workstations
that are giving me fits.

Specifically, when an e-mail is deferred to the Outbox, there is a
delay of 15 - 30 seconds before the program responds and continues. In
other words, when a user clicks the Put the letter in the Outbox
button, there is a long delay, where the program does absolutely
nothing and will not respond before the e-mail is placed in the
Outbox. Keep in mind, that the e-mail is NOT being sent immediately,
so (to my knowledge), there is no interaction with the POP3 server
that is being used to send the mail.

Since the mailboxes are stored on the server, I have added the exact
same accounts to other workstations and have not experienced any
delays whatsoever. This leads me to believe that the error is
localized to the workstation and not to any server issues.

I have un-installed TB, rebooted and re-installed TB only to have the
same delays continue.

Does anyone have any suggestions of how or why this is happening?
Unfortunately, both users receive a good bit of e-mail, so throughout
the day, these delays are driving them nuts.

Thanks in advance!

Slow Sending

2002-06-07 Thread Michael T. Ashby

I'm finding that it's taking quite awhile for an e-mail to send. I
click the send button and it takes approximately 15 seconds for the
e-mail to send. During that time TB is locked up and I'm unable to do anything else
within the program.

Anyone else run into this problem? Any suggestions on what I could
tweak to have the e-mail not hang like that?

Ok, I tried installing the latest version. Performed a reboot of the

So, when I send an e-mail it's still taking 15 - 30 seconds for the

Re[2]: Slow Sending

2002-06-07 Thread Michael T. Ashby

Well, it's not that the e-mail is taking long to be handled by the POP
server, it's more that TB is just hanging there while it happens. It
used to be that the e-mail would just go to the outbox and the
connection manager would deliver the mail, while I could read other
mail, etc.

The problem is that TB just hangs there doing nothing until the e-mail
is sent. Even just sending it to the outbox and not sending it
immediately has the same effect.

Re[2]: Best Practices: Attachment Filters

2002-05-14 Thread Michael T. Ashby

I guess I mis-spoke a bit. What I meant to ask is that if it were
possible to have the filter simply delete the e-mail from the server,
not just strip the attachments.

Secondly, I know that I won't open attachments, but I can't say the
same for my co-workers. :-) I just want to be extra careful if
possible. So, if an e-mail has an attachment with foo extensions,
then I'd prefer TB not even download the message.

Here's the environment:
- Anti-Virus is installed and updated nightly.

 - There is no e-mail server other than the POP3 server that is part
 of a  shared domain server. In other words, I don't have access to
 configure sendmail, etc.

Re[2]: All this effort for what?? Batted-out!!

2002-05-01 Thread Michael T. Ashby

Julius,

I know how you feel about the mailing list. I too kinda felt that way
when I first signed up, but I don't think it's as bad as you may
think.

The Bat! is EXTREMELY powerful and allows for a LOT of tweaks and
edits to customize almost every nuance to your personal preferences. I
joined this list because I was thinking it would help me learn about
the product faster, but if anything I found that most of the posts
here are WAY over my head. :)

Most of the threads here are not the typical fare that the average
user would address. The average user isn't going to know, much less
care, about the merit so PGP vs. sMime. So, take most of the posts
with a grain of salt, because many posts here are dealing with beta,
or just released versions and features that most users are not going
to use.

Personally, I've found TB to be extremely reliable and it does
everything I need. Additionally, as I poke around the program I
continually find more and more features that just blow my socks off.
For example, I just figured out how to use Quick Templates and like
a kid in a candy store! :P

So, although you may see a lot of issues addressed here, don't take
them to heart. You're looking at posts that have a high geek
quotient and are far above the average e-mail fare. In my book, there
is no more secure and reliable e-mail client out there.

 Can we end this and get a decent product out of the bat! ?  I think we should
 address our problems/questions/requests to the authors, in Russia or Belarus,
 and stop trying to outguess them and provide ideas that have to be tested
 every time, regardless of comments from moderators with credentials.

MS I don't know about that.  This seems one of the more useful mailing
MS lists I've been on.  THe authors of TheBat have more productive things
MS to do (V2.0) and let the users help those that want help.

M$ Exchange Replacement

2002-04-18 Thread Michael T. Ashby

I was at a client's site yesterday and we were discussing the costs
and merits of upgrading their servers. After already receiving the
green light to proceed an idea hit me. 90% of the upgrade was due to
Exchange (long story), so why not just use The Bat! instead? I told
the client to wait a day or so until I thought about it some more.

Here's the layout: The client has about 15 workstations/users all
using exchange. None of them use the PIM features. They simply use it
for e-mail. So, TB seems perfect.

Here's my question: What would be the best configuration for the
install? I would like all the mailboxes to be stored on the server for
backup purposes and I'd like some employees to be able to share a
mailbox (tech support, that sort of thing). They are using
TrendMicro's OfficeScan for virus protection (although I don't think
there's a plugin yet for that)

Anyway, what would be your recommendation on how best to configure
this install?

Re[2]: M$ Exchange Replacement

2002-04-18 Thread Michael T. Ashby

Thanks to everyone for your feedback. It's been very helpful.

I'm actually shying away from having a mail server on the server.
Everything that they do is POP3 based and they don't have the typical
corporate mentality regarding e-mail. I'm thinking that simpler is
better, having been the Exchange route with them already.

Prior to saying we could do this, I had spoken with the person that
had first turned me on to TB and his firm is setup in the same manner.
With the mailboxes stored on the server, then more than one person can
access the mailbox at a time and everything is backed up nightly - to
me it sounds like an ideal setup for this client.

Unless someone thinks this is foolish. :)

If you are on a Windows machine, you can hit the Print Screen button

then hold down the Alt key.

What this does is create a .bmp and store it on your clipboard. You
can then paste it into any graphics or word processing program and use

Re[2]: M$ Exchange Replacement

2002-04-18 Thread Michael T. Ashby

I understand that there is a server involved with POP3 e-mail, but
that server is located off site in a server farm. I just don't see a
reason to add ANOTHER server just to collect it.

They aren't using the PIM features of Outlook and TB is one of the
most robust e-mail client's I've found, so it seems like the perfect
solution for this client.

Eudora Import

2002-03-21 Thread Michael T. Ashby

I recently migrated from Eudora to TB! and I'm very happy, but I've
found another oddball quirk that I'm hoping the collective here can
help me with.

All of my sent items have imported with HTML tags in the body of the
document. TB! doesn't render the e-mail as html, so it shows the tags.
I don't use HTML for e-mail. Everything that I sent was in plain text,
so I don't know why TB! decided to add the tags.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to remove them from my 20,000+ sent
e-mails? :-)

Re[2]: Newbie: Can I Flter Imported Sent Mail?

2002-03-15 Thread Michael T. Ashby

Raj,

I tried that as well, and that worked for some messages, but
unfortunately, it won't work for most. The reason is that under the
From header, all I see is my name, not the e-mail address. Since my name is the same 
for all
accounts, there's no way to differentiate between the various
accounts.

The only work around I see, is to open each message. Only then can I
see the actual e-mail address the account was sent from. But, I'm open
to any more suggestions! :-)

Newbie: Can I Flter Imported Sent Mail?

2002-03-14 Thread Michael T. Ashby

Hello all!

I'm new to The Bat! and I'm really falling in love. I've migrated from
Eudora and I have a question I can't seem to find an answer to. So, I
thought I'd toss it out to you guys and see if you can steer me in the
right direction.

Eudora handles all accounts with the same inbox and sent folders. I
have four accounts in The Bat! and I'd like to sort all the sent items
I have to the appropriate account. I've tried various filters, but
they all seem to apply to after you've received, or read the e-mail,
etc.

For example, I have all of my sent e-mails in the sent folder of my
[EMAIL PROTECTED] account. What I'd like to do is filter all
e-mail I sent from my [EMAIL PROTECTED] account (which has been
imported from Eudora into the ashbygroup.com account) into the
appropriate sent folder. The end result would be that all items sent
from the ashbygroup.com account would be left the in sent folder of
ashbygroup.com and all the e-mail sent from the npug.org account would
reside in the npug.org sent items account.

Everything works fine for new mail, this only applies to the sent
items I imported from Eudora.

Thanks in advance!

Ottar,

Thanks for the step-by-step guidelines. I did that, but for some
reason it didn't work. No e-mails were selected and moved. I tried
various combinations, but for some reason it's not liking it.
