Cannot restore Backup: 30000 Mails lost! HELP!
Hi, Having upgraded my Windows, I had to reinstall. Of course I backuped all my mails (33), most of them in just one account, but when I tried to reinstall and restore my backup, TB2.12 (and 3.0, too) told me that it couldn't read the backup file. The small accounts restored ok (if I just chose them), the big account fails after about 30 mails. Any idea how I can get my other mails back?

Getting Mail out of TB (Was: Migrated to Outlook 2003)
Hi Morgan, * Morgan Pugh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Thursday, September 2, 2004, 9:28:42 PM: > In all it took me 7 minutes to create all the folders and import > the e-mail into Outlook Express and then Outlook 2003. As I said if > you have a very complex folder setup it will take longer but it isn't > an impossible task and it shouldn't take you more than an hour no > matter how complex your setup is. Sorry, it may not be that easy for everybody else. I have about 35 Mails in about 100 Folders in about 10 accounts. I just did some testing: - I can export 1100 Mails per minute to .eml files on the same disc, with virus-scanner running. (This would take about 6 hours of babysitting TB to get my mails out.) - If I choose a unix mailbox, switch of virus-scanning (shouldn't do that, really), and choose a different disc than the one TB runs on, I can push this to 8000 mails per minute. (This would still take well over an hour of babysitting TB.) BTW, CPU-usage of TB seems to be the bottleneck here. So, thats for the record, for everybody who is interested. I am interested in getting my mail over into a linux-imap-server running on maildir-mailstorage. Anybody got a clue on how to do this without much (any?) handwork? (Doesn't matter if it takes a week, would leave the machine running when I am in my holidays *g*) (Specs of my test: Athlon 1,2Ghz, 768MB ram, 36gb u2w scsi discs, Mailsample was last years archive of postfix-users-ml, 8 mails of 300Mb total) Timo Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Synchronising Mails [How?/FeatureRequest]
Hi, As I am running TheBat! on two machines, a desktop and a Notebook, I have to synchronize their Mailbase (about 300.000 mails, mostly in 3 accounts), and because I use only my Desktop when I am at home, I have to sync about daily. I always sync for all data in all accounts, and I always use the same sync-files. For each sync, I have to go throught the following stages: Tools > Sync, [OK], [Select All], [OK], [Choose File], [Save], [OK], [Choose File], [Save], [OK], [Choose File], [Save] Thats 16 Mouseclicks for synchronising, why isn't there a button to do that with one click? (or a menuentry, would be two clicks) Thats pretty much work for a synchronize function that doesn't even do what it says (it just copies all mail over, I have to delete mails on both machines before I sync to get rid of it) Timo -- Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

IMO, a simple name is different from a signature, meaning, the OP didn't have a signature. The only signature in that post was added by the listserv, and therefore should have the (additional) sequence. Or would it hurt if more than one sig had that sequence? BTW, you TBUDL-Mission statement had three listserv-signatures without a sig-delimiter before them. Sorry if that has been already discussed, I haven't found anything in the archives.
