Help with removing old email addresses
I haven't been here in a long time, but I'm having a problem with old email addresses which appear when I begin to address an email. For example, if I start to write to John Smith, I may get the following choices in the To: line-- johnsm...@yahoomail.com johnsm...@googlemail.com johnsm...@someotheraddress.com I know how to change an address if it's in my address book, but these are people to whom I've written in the past, and The Bat is giving me the choice of using them. But some of those addresses might be old ones which are no longer active, and I don't know how to delete them. Consequently, I often choose the wrong address, and then the email gets bounced back to me. Can anyone help with deleting addresses which are not in my address book but are suggested by The Bat from my history? -- Mike Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Where do I go to select the addresses? They appear as choices when I'm typing in the To: line. I can arrow up and down the choices, but the delete key doesn't do anything. Sorry for being so dense.

No problem - if you don't get it to work, then it's cumbersome. :) But the procedure works here on my machine (using version 4.2.42). When I start typing, TheBat! suggests what's in history (the recent addresses). If there are entries I know I won't need I just arrow down to the ones I want to erase - and pressing the Delete-button executes my wish. To me it's as easy as that. So I am not sure how to suggest anything different or a more correct way to do it. -- Regards ...listen2reason... - Musaic.Net listen2rea...@musaic.net Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

That is not working in v5 What you CAN do is go to the lower left and click the ADDRESSES tab and purge out any you don't want -- Rick There is no snooze button for a cat that wants breakfast. -Anonymous v5.0.22.12 (ALPHA) on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Rick, At first I didn't see any tabs at all, but I went into the View menu, found Display Folder Tabs, and was able to remove them exactly as you suggested. Thanks very much!!!
