Re: TB And Loss Of Internet Connection
Hi rich > Assuming others on your LAN are not having the same problem maybe it's > time for your annual re-install of Windows! Yeah, no one else is having this problem. Re-install Windows? My god. Clearly hoped it wouldn't come to that as it represents a logistical nightmare (as I'm sure you appreciate) as the machine acts as a "pseudo" server to the rest of the machines on the LAN and as such, contains all our company documents etc, mail server, act as a print server etc. Still, I'm due to be leaving the company next week so can probably get away with leaving (ignoring) it. -- Cheers Steve CMC Partnership (UK) Ltd The Bat version 2.11 Windows 2000 SP3 Build 2195 Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
TB And Loss Of Internet Connection
Hey guys, Here's a poser for you all. Every so often (in fact probably 2 or 3 times a day) my machine loses it's network connections, both internal (LAN) and external (Internet) and I cannot even send an e-mail from TB to my local mailserver (on my PC) - get the message "cannot connect to the server". I am on an ADSL connection. None of the usual diagnostic routines throw up any clues and none of the usual things I try in this situation seem to work. But what fixes it every time is shutting down TB, at which point the network is restored and I can open up TB again and continue on my merry way. I haven't yet had time to delve more closely into this and presume no one else is having the same problem as I've seen no posts about it, but if anyone has any clues as to what's going on here... -- Many thanks Steve Mulhall CMC Partnership (UK) Ltd The Bat version 2.11 Windows 2000 SP3 Build 2195 Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Applying A Filter To 'Sent' Folder
Hi all, is it possible to apply a filter to the 'Sent' folder? What I'd like is the 'Sent' folder to have a number of sub-folders where I would like to place sent items depending on who I send them to. Is it possible to do this automatically with a filter? I tried applying a filter to the 'Outbox' in the hope that once a message left there, the filter would be applied and filtered to the required folder. Needless to say it was not successful.

Applying A Filter To ALL Folders
Hey guys, Is there any way that a single filter can be applied to a range of folders and the messages therein? What I'd like to do is set up a filter that will filter messages that are read and high importance, from the 40 or so folders in my account, and put them in another folder that I create. I'm sure there's any easier way then creating the same filter for each folder and using said folder as the source folder. Make sense? I know I could search the account for all important messages and then copy them to the new folder and then apply the filter from now on but was simply wondering if there were another way of doing it i.e. with an account specific filter.

Re: Problem With Creating Filters
Hi Gerard > If nobody has seen this problem and you find the same problem on 2 > different machines with 2 different releases of TB! me guess is it is > something you do. Problem is I do not know what. No, no. You misunderstand me. The problem is happening on two different machines with the same version of TB!. Let me explain. This problem first occurred when I upgraded TB! from version 2.01.3 to version 2.04.7 on my Windows 2000 machine. I mentioned it to the list but no one else had the same problem so I figured that it may have been a problem specific to that machine so I upgraded TB! version 2.01.3 on another machine (Windows XP) to version 2.04.7 in order to confirm that the problem was machine specific but it is also happening on this new machine. So the problem (as far as I can see) is not to do with me because it is happening on two different machines but the same version of TB!, therefore the new version of TB! is the common denominator here. I am doing the right thing (the same procedure to create filter automatically that has worked with all previous versions if TB! i.e. right-hand click on a message | 'Specials' | 'Create Filter' - should bring up a dialogue box from where you can create a filter. It does nothing on my machine. I anyone can see that I'm doing something wrong please let me know. Having said all that, it appears that I'm the only person using this version who's having this problem > Maybe you can ask someone else to try it on your machine?

I've tried un-installing TB! completely (registry entries and all) and the re-installing but that does nothing. Guess I'll be rolling back to the previous version. Whatever that means?!

What I am trying to do is what I used to do in previous versions of TB and from what I have read in terms of replies to this post, most (if not all people can also still do), is to right-hand click on any message then go to 'Specials' which invokes another menu and from here choosing 'Create Filter' and this should load a dialog box which allows you to select what to filter on.

Re: Some Messages Have Blank Fields
Hi Roelof > This seems to be a mime encoded message. The reason the message > appears mangled might be an extra empty line between the headers. Do > these messages come from the same (group of) contact(s)? Thanks for replying again Roelof. In terms of where the messages come from or which account they appear in, the is no discernible patterns at all. They can appear in any of the 10 accounts I have setup in TB that poll Mailtraq for mail (POP3) but interestingly enough not on any of the 4 POP3 accounts that I have setup that connect directly to the ISP mail server. In terms of where they come from, I have no idea as they have no (apparent) traceable details which I can use i.e. some are like the example I sent but others are actually completely devoid of all details i.e. they don't even have any headers, that I can see at least. NOTE To All: I have mentioned my resident mail server (Mailtraq) simply because I know Roelof operates with this as well.

Some Messages Have Blank Fields
Hi all, I've noticed something a little strange that happens from time to time. Occasionally an e-mail will arrive in an Inbox that has all its details as blank i.e. Blank "From:" field, blank "To:" field, blank "Subject" etc, you get the idea. Essentially everything is blank. Quite often the message body actually contains the relevant e-mail and sometimes it just contains what appears to be fairly random strings of ASCII code. This is not account specific and indeed I cannot seem to isolate any pattern to when they arrive. I always check on my mail server when this happens and these e-mails do not appear there so I presume that TB! is generating them for some reason. Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry Allie, should've really mentioned that I did check this too.

Strange Font - From Nowhere
Hi all, Does anyone have any ideas as to why all of a sudden (with no warning and no obvious reason why) whenever I open any messages (from any folder/account) they all appear in some strange font (quite hard to read it is too)? I cannot provide an example of this font as this message is appearing in the correct font and copying text from another message into here, it also appears in the correct font, so to sum up, this is only when I open up an existing message to view it i.e. un-opened messages in the message pane display in the correct (default - MS Sans Serif) font. In fact the fonts are ok everywhere else in the application. Having a look in Preferences where the system fonts are set i.e. Folders Pane and Message Pane Header these are both set to the original default (MS Sans Serif). Changing the font for Folders pane works fine and changing the font for the Message Pane Header changes the font for the visible message headers (From: To: Subject: etc, which I guess it what it's designed to do) and changing the font in the 'Message Groups and Font' changes the font of the messages whilst they are displayed in their folders but when opened display this strange font, but I'd also like the actual body of my messages in the original (MS SAns Serif) font, as it was and always has been up until yesterday. Where can I set this? I know this is a minor issue but any pointers would be greatly appreciated, before I embark upon a full backup of TB and see if that has any effect.

TB With NOD32 Anti-Virus
Hi guys, Does anyone use TB with NOD32 Anti-Virus? If so does anyone, on running NOD32, experience a message that says words to the effect of "Either there is no default mail client or the mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client"? If I do as the message instructs and set Outlook to be the default mail client all is well. But strangely enough I don't really want Outlook as my default mail client as I consider it to be fairly rubbish compared to TB!.

That makes sense and if I thought I would get any joy from sending a bug report to Microsoft I may do just that (but I may end up sending a lot of reports), but The Bat! losing its file association happens without opening OE.

Wilcards Strings In Filters
Hi all, Is it possible to to add a search string with a wildcard in a filter? I want to create a filter that filters all "Read" receipts into a specified folder. The only thing that all of these receipts has in common is that the subject line starts with the word "Read:" so I want my filter to just identify all messages that meet this criteria and then filter them. Another quick one, at various points during the day, although sometimes maybe only once The Bat! loses its file associations with .EML and .VCF files and obviously on opening asks if I want to associate. At this point a check reveals that said file types are associated with Outlook Express, which I would not touch with a barge pole but need to keep because some colleagues occasionally use it and have questions. I can re-associate the file types either within Windows Explorer or The Bat! and all is ok for some period of time and then it will happen again. I have both IE 6 and Opera browsers installed and the default mail client in both of these is The Bat! and Outlook Express is not the default application for any file types. Any ideas?

I do save a lot of my messages on the server (but not all but there is probably 1000 or so in my mailbox). I hear what you're saying about an inbound archive (which I do already to track in mail for the company) Mailtraq handles e-mail for 19 other users so most of what would come into the archive would not be for me. I would guess I could set up mail filtering to filter all MY inbound mail to my mailbox but maybe this is defeating the object of what you're suggesting. We currently collect mail into Mailtraq via an SMTP mail feed from our ISP so can't really place any blame on them.

Not at all. Only when the firewall running but your above explanation of how this all fits together makes a lot of sense. Seeing as my PC is only a straightforward client machine (albeit fairly high spec 2.8GHz, 512MB RAM, 60GB HD) it acts as a pseudo-server for the other 5 clients in the office i.e. they connect to a shared directory to get info, it also handles Mailtraq and all of its operations also it is the target for a VPN connection from a branch office that connects to both a shared directory on the machine and Mailtraq.

TB & ZoneAlarm - Dupes
Hi guys, Anyone have any experience configuring TB! to work with ZoneAlarm personal firewall and a local mail server (actually I am using Computer Associates EZ Personal Firewall but from what I can see it is exactly the same as ZoneAlarm in all but name)? I have a Mailtraq mail server installed and working locally on my machine and have everything configured so that everything works almost perfectly except, with the personal firewall running, every so often TB! will download duplicate messages from the server. There appears to be no pattern to which duplicate messages are retrieved i.e. they could be from last week or from 10 months ago. I can find no help on this matter from the firewall help file and cannot get the web-based tech support to work for me either so was hoping that someone out there has a similar setup that works ok. Incidentally, I only noticed this happening using TB! version 2.01.3 so rolled back to the previous version but the problem didn't go away. Also, with the same personal firewall installed on another machine in the same LAN i.e. a machine that does not have a mail server on, everything works OK, there are no dupes - the firewall is configured in exactly the same way on both machines. The presence of the mail server on the problem machine is obviously the key here. Turn off the firewall and everything works fine. Any ideas?

Just have retrieve and leave on the server but remove from server when deleted from trash, which is ideal because a number of messages I retrieve I don't need to keep and just clutter up my mail server but some are very important that this option gives me a lot of control.

I upgraded to V 2.01.3 from 2.00.6 last Thursday and this problem surfaced on Friday so I assume it's reasonable to deduce that the problem may be related to this new version. Anyone else seen this?

Dupes - From Somewhere
Hi all, It appears that since sometime this morning TB! has started retrieving duplicate messages from my server (some from as far back as January). There appears to be no discernable pattern to these duplicate messages i.e. they can appear in any of my 9 accounts I have setup and TB! may only retrieve 3 or 4 duplicates an hour from the server, some as far back as January or some from a few day ago. I am almost certain that this has nothing to do with our mail server, which is running locally and I have checked and found no clue as to the reason for this. I have made no configuration changes to TB! prior to this happening. Firstly, has anyone any idea what might be happening here? Secondly, does anyone have any ideas as to how I can create a filter that will delete these duplicates automatically? I can see that you can set up a filter to delete a message both from TB! and from the server but I can't work out how to make TB! check for duplicate messages... now having thought about this it may be either too difficult or not possible as there will be discrepancies between the messages stored in TB! and on the server i.e. many messages in TB! will be sorted into separate folders. There will also be cases of messages retrieved from the server that have consequently been deleted from TB! but not from the server itself - Scarily awkward by the sounds of things.

Re: Unable To Register V2
Guys, As you will see I have now sorted this out. In my haste I foolishly thought I could just enter a new V2 registration code directly into my V1.62 and it would be upgraded. WRONG. Back to another question, any ideas how to tell TB that I have removed the keyboard shortcut Shift-R to mark all messages read. The shortcut no longer appears in the edit shortcuts menu window and yet when I press Shift-R I am asked if I want to mark all messages as read. Most frustrating. Thanks for all the help Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Unable To Register V2
Thanks for the response Clive > You don't need a password for V2. The easiest way to ensure you are > entering the right key and checksum is make sure the email containing > these details is open and go to help|registration code. > You'll find the details are filled in for you. Tried this but nothing happens i.e. go to Help | Enter Registration Code with the e-mail containing this information open but the relevant fields are not filled in automatically. Then tried manually entering both the key and the checksum i.e. I have tried both cutting and pasting the information from the e-mail and entering manually by hand and leaving the password field blank but again I am told the password is incorrect for the key used.

Unable To Register V2
Hi folks, I have recently upgraded my personal copy of V1.62 to V2 and have received my TB Key and Checksum from The Bat! Team at [EMAIL PROTECTED] however when I enter the key and checksum and my password into the relevant boxes in the register window I am told that the password is incorrect for the key used although I am 99% sure that it isn't. In case it's relevant (and it may well be) I purchased the software through the Ritlabs website and received my confirmation e-mail from Cifnet. I tried in vain to find the relevant support contact channel with which to take my query but have been unable to find it (at least through the Ritlabs website so my last resort was to send my query to the same people that sent me my key (address above) although I expect all mail from that account is automatically generated and therefore my mail will go unread. Anyone have any ideas what I can do/who I can contact etc? Another question, I recently edited the keyboard shortcuts so that Shift-R marked all messages in the selected folder as read. Then obviously realised that Shift-R is what I use to type capital R. I have since removed that shortcut but still every time I use that key combination I am asked if I want to mark all messages as "Read". Very frustrating. I have thoroughly checked the list of keyboard shortcuts and Shift-R doesn't appear anywhere.

Old Question
Firstly, I recall this was probably the first question I posted to this list right back when I first installed TB but since then I have both forgotten the answer and deleted the reply that indicated what I needed to do to correct it, but I am now experiencing the same problem with another machine (Windows XP), so apologies all round for repeating myself. When clicking on a mailto link on a website the message "Could not perform this operation because the default mail client is not properly installed is displayed, followed by 48 web browser windows opening that all say they cannot display the page. TB is the default mail client and is associated with all mail type files (mailto: .msg; .eml; .VCF) and one of the accounts is set to be the defaul for mailto URLs. What do I need to do here?

Re: Another Q on the Worm (Blaster)
> I can't run it at all, since i can for the life of me not find the > "system restore" thing on my Win XP Pro. Where should i look for it? > Cymantec said you should turn it off, but as i said i can't even find > it, so i don't know if i've got it. Start | Control Panel | System | Sytem Restore tab, and then turn it off in there. Another issue is that you may need to run the tool in "Safe Mode" otherwise I found that the virus kicked whilst it was running. In safe mode this will not happen. The only problem is, when I ran this removal tool on an infected Windows XP machine, it ran fine and said it had located and removed the virus, however, it really hadn't and it kept being picked up by NAV and shutting down the machine, at this point the only thing that worked was the MS patch: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823980 Hope this helps Steve Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Re: Ot: mail servers?

Can highly recommend Mailtraq as a mail server. It has pretty much all the functionality that an Exchange Server has but at a fraction of the cost. Highly configurable and flexible. We use it here and although we run under Windows 2000 I know that it works under windows XP. Have a look at www.mailtraq.com for more info. There is also a 30 day trial version for you to "try-before-you-buy" Steve Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
