I would do, but I'm in the USA and she's in the UK :-) Another option would be to copy an 'account.cfg' from another account and just change the settings? My parents and my sister share The Bat! Everything is the same apart from pop servers, addresses etc. Maybe I could copy my parents 'account.cfg' then go into TB! and update the settings? Maybe that is the easier option?

A lot of that stuff visible in 'Account' / 'Properties'. For example: POP3-server, SMTP-server, Name, E-Mail-Address, mail check options, etc... Account templates are stored in a different file (IIRC), so they should be preserved. Simply give it a try: take one of your accounts, rename (do NOT delete!) the 'ACCOUNT.CFG' and start The Bat!. See the differences, close The Bat!, re-rename 'ACCOUNT.CFG' and all settings are back. -- Regards Peter Palmreuther (The Bat! v1.62/Beta4 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 1) Let's Further BLUR th' distinction between FANTASY and REALITY!!!

Hi Databug (sorry, don't know your real name), On Wednesday, October 9, 2002 21:15 your local time, which was 13:15 my local time, Databug Databug [D] wrote; D>>> It the password for the account within the Bat.

When you renamed the 'account.cfg' file, what else did you lose other than the password? Did you have to set the whole account up again? The reason I ask is because my sister has done the same thing. She's in the UK and I'm in the USA and I wanted a heads up on what we'll need to go through. Thanks, Chris. -- E-Mail - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Created Using The Bat!
