Mail Ticker
Hi, Is it possible to enable TB mail ticker for particular accounts? It gets enabled for all or disabled for all the accounts. I want to do it for only my main account. -- Best regards, chinchi Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

It deleted messages with differeeent From and Subject headers .I wondered how can those have the same ID. So I'm just paranoid using it again now wanting to lose some important message due to this and think I should do it manually but it takes too long, checking every message. The need for kill dupes arises because I use IMAP and there's nothing in TB that would sync all the messages back and forth.

Using mailto: uses the currently selected account
Hi, I have more than one accounts in TB whichever account I have checked messages in and minimize TB to system tray, remains selected. Now, when clicking on mailto: link somewhere to email someone on even using the mailto: link from 12 Ghosts quickstart (I've got a list of addys in there set up with hot keys), it opens a new message in TB but with the last currently selected account in the From line.

TB stopped downloading mails from IMAP folder
Hi, Of late, I have not been receiving mails from a mailing list and when I checked, they do get filtered in to the folder on the server (IMAP) but TB stopped downloading them a few days ago even tho if I see thru mail dispatcher, that folder is subscribed. I have unsubscribed and subscribed time and again but it doesn't help. In the logs, it says how many messages are on that folder but then says 'connection finished, 0 messages downloaded'. Why am I getting this and how can I get the messages again? It's a mailing list. -- Best regards, chinchi Using The Bat! v1.62i on Windows 98 4.10 Build A Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Fake 'new messages detected' message

There aren't any new messages in reality. I've checked via webmail as well as using the message dispatcher. Why am I getting this and how do I get rid of it?

Question regarding URL links in TB
Hi, When we double click a link within TB and it opens a browser, does that website get any info about our email address etc? One particular program - Download Accleereator or DAP - once sent my default email address (which is my username, hence I hadn't ever given it out anywhere or to anyone) to it's website and theet started spamming me. Otherwise I always use aliases and can remove them. I wonder if it happened because I might have clicked a link to a URL in TB?

How c to mark these automatically read as soon as they download? A You do this the same way everyone else does, as Scott suggested. The A only difference is the filter won't be sorting into a folder. If it was A this list, you'd just use the list address as the Filter String. Hmm, the filter won't sort in to a folder? But since the messages (yes, this and some other lists) are on a folder on the IMAP server, so when I download them in to TB, will I now need to change their destination to Inbox first, instead of this list folder before applying the filter rule? -- Best regards, chinchi Using The Bat! v1.62i on Windows 98 4.10 Build A Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

A It always says Inbox, and the drop-down is always greyed out. A Put your filter at the top of the filter list. I don't think I understand your last sentence. I'll explain again. And since you are also using FastMail, it's great and you'll understand my setup. (Nice to see a fellow FastMailer here *S*). I'm subscribed to a few lists on mail-archive and some others. All of these I get in to folders on my fastmail account as you can guess from my email address. And in TB, I've subscribed to these IMAP folders. Now, when I get mail, the ones from this list comes to a specific folder that I had specified the first time, locally. I want all mail coming to this folder to be marked read as soon as it comes. If I set up the filter to mark all messages as read, all of the messages route in to my local Inbox (the ones that were meant to be in the local TB list folder) and the normal Inbox messages also get marked as read. That's why I was asking about the source folder. If it at all was configurable, I wouldn't had to ask here.
