Account | Clone
Having spent a long time creating 3 new accounts then copying information, by hand, from them, such a command is needed. (Copying the account-wide templates is particularly awkward; I had to cut and paste them into a text file then cut and paste them from there into each account). The command is almost self-explanatory; it would create a new account called Copy of existing account name and retain all existing settings bar the inbound and outbound servers (so that the user doesn't forget to change them).

Why don't you make the templates accessible to all accounts?

Seconded (more so for filters than templates)! - -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.54 Beta/14 on Windows 95 4.0 67306684 C To live at all is miracle enough.

Re: Account | Clone
I am a brand new user, so please bear with me. I have about 3 Gig of email in my OE. Can that be imported into the BAT? Is there any size limitation, beyond my own PC, to mail held in the BAT? I tend to use mail as a filing system, maintain many folders/filters (and successfully set them up this morning in the BAT and they are properly working). OE permits searching from the top or from the individual folders using simple search terms and different fields. Is there a similar search capability for mail filed in the BAT? In regard to the BAT's treatment of attachments, I have always filtered attachments in OE as a protective mechanism because of its vulnerabilities to problems. From one point I could more effectively handle treatment of attachments. How does the BAT handle attachments, especially problem attachments? I noticed that ZA renamed/disarmed an attachment downloaded into BAT this AM, but wasn't positive that the mail program itself also hadn't done something to render the attachment harmless. I use Win98SE, will probably remain with IE5.50, although I might experiment with Opera, and maintain an AV program and use Zone-Alarm-Pro since I am on cable connection. This AM program installation, setup, and subsequent download of my Yahoo mail was my first occasion to use this program. I am a heavy user of mailing lists, focusing on genealogy, and manage several of the Rootsweb lists. I am probably dealing with on average 1,000 emails a day, so there is some immediacy to my picking up the nuances necessary to managing my mail. I used four accounts, one with my cable system, three via yahoo pop3 download, into OE. I would like a similar set-up for the BAT. Many thanks for help and suggestions. Elaine _ Do You Yahoo!?

Hello Alastair, On Sat, 1 Dec 2001 15:16:36 +GMT (1-12-2001, 16:16 +0100GMT, where I live), you wrote: AS Having spent a long time creating 3 new accounts then copying AS information, by hand, from them, such a command is needed.

Create a new account. Close TB. Start Windows explorer and copy all account.* files from your to be cloned account to your new account. Start TB. Edit the account properties of your new account (at least the ISP, etc) Now you've cloned your old account. The filters and templates are included. -- Groetjes, Roelof -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

TB handles attachments exactly the way you tell it to. Most of us store them in the message body, some store them in sperate directoies (Account / Properties / Files Directories / Attachments). You can also create a filter and extract them to somehwere else, or run your favourite virus scanner whenever a message does have an attachment. TB is not a virus scanner. However, it will not run a virus automatically, you need to actively do it. E I noticed that ZA renamed/disarmed an attachment downloaded E into BAT this AM, but wasn't positive that the mail program itself also E hadn't done something to render the attachment harmless. TB doesn't *do* anything do attachments. However, if you try to open attachments with certain extensions, or with double extensions, you get a warning; in some cases TB will even refuse to open the attachment. See Options / Properties / Warnings. E This AM program installation, setup, and subsequent download of my Yahoo E mail was my first occasion to use this program.

No problem. ask if you have any questions setting up the accounts. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
