Upgrade troubles
Hello all, I have an installation of The Bat! on my desktop at home and my laptop. Every Upgrade I did on the desktop was a success. Every upgrade I did on my laptop was a failure. I have been using The Bat! since November 2002. When I update on my laptop (1.xx and now 2.00.6) I always lose folder settings and templates. Also every account and folder gets an duplicate account and folder. And when I delete a duplicate account or folder the original disappears also. Off course I made a backup before I started the upgrade. But restoring the backup still leaves me without folder settings and templates. It's getting a real pain to go to every folder and account. Any ideas? -- Best regards, Ricardo van Eck The Netherlands Using The Bat! v2.00.6 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.00.6 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

So I do agree with some that Ritlabs asked to much € for 2.x.

Some feature requests
Hello all, Novell made there GroupWise API's available for other software developers. A GroupWise plugin for The Bat! would be great! When I can connect The Bat! to a GroupWise Server I don't need two clients anymore (GroupWise client and The Bat!) And since GroupWise is the second most used Enterprise Collaboration solution it should be wanted by more batters (I think) Also a Linux version of The Bat! (ok, this isn't a small request) :) I want to drop Windows, but The Bat! is keeping me from doing that. I read that The Bat! under Wine isn't that great. Maybe some other Batters have tried this? Last request. I'd like to see a Calender, like there was in some previous beta's. That calender should have CAP support. (Calender Access Protocol). It a new protocol that most calender, e-mail client developers are going to use. (except MS because of marketing reasons). It lets you send appointment and other calender stuff between different e-mail clients. Very neat :) Until now, only GroupWise 6 and 6.5 supports it, but more are coming! -- Best regards, Ricardo van Eck The Netherlands Using The Bat! v1.62r on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 2.00 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

iPac Sync
Hello all, I think I already know the answer but then again, it's free to ask... I just heard that everyone at our company is getting an Compaq iPaq 1915. Main reason of course, so we all can sync our e-mail and agenda/appointments with our laptops and so on. But I'm one of few who's not using LookOut.

I deleted the account, renamed thebat.exe (the beta) and placed the original back, 1.62 x-mass. Again, same the problem occurred when creating this account. So now I've found the problem.
