Problems with Browser Configuration, POP Access, Mail Folders
Hello TBUDL, I am using theBat Version 1.49 with Win95. Earlier I sent a message asking for help but had not read the full rules of posting here. I shouted in the Subject Line and now I understand I ought to have written *help*. Please accept my appologies. Now that I know better, I will repost in the proper form. Today I had to reinstall theBat and by accident when the pop-up window asked if I wanted to delete my mail folders, I must have said yes. Sadly, I have not backed up any of these and now they are gone. Is there any way to get them back? Also, when I click on the hyperlink in messages, theBat does not engage my browser. This is why I reinstalled, thinking that something wasn't configured properly. Now theBat will not open up my browser and I have to "copy" and "paste". Over the long hall this is going to be extremely annoying. What do I do? Lastly, these problems all started because I was having difficulty getting mail from my Yahoo! account. Everything was working fine, but yesterday for some unknown reason, theBat would not download them to my desktop. I have asked Yahoo! for help but have not received a reply. I asked my ISP if they started blocking external mail accounts but they said No. What gives? I am truly having a major, problem day and need to fix this somehow. I could sure use some help right now - especially trying to re-capture my lost mail folders. By the way, I am not all that clear on what happens after I send this. Does it go to the main discussion group and someone answers if and when they have seen this; or does it go straight to someone's desktop and they will respond as soon as possible. I guess you can tell this is my first time here and I'm sorry if I am not following protocol, but I will learn as I go along. Thanks -- Best regards, Jan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Re: Problems with Browser Configuration, POP Access, Mail Folders
Hello Jan, Are they still on the harddsik? If not, they are probably gone. It is always better to make regular updates, and especially when you reinstall the software. The last two days or so we had a thread about backing up the TB!. There were 2 or 3 very good ways to do so. I strongly recommend that you take a look at the archives (Archives: http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com), subject was at least "A backing-up story". What happens when you double-click? If the file type is associated with your browser in Windows, it should work. BTW, what browser is that? Make sure that your browser is set as the default browser. This problem seems to come up if one has installed several browsers whereas none really is the default browser if it is not clearly set to be so. Haven't heard anything, but my free webmail providers (gmx and kimo) also are unreachable sometimes for a day or two. No reason to panic and reinstall software. It's the price you pay for "free" services. Ack.

The only thing that could possibly save you is an application with an undelete feature (anyone have any of these utilities to suggest?).

With TB! you have to double click on the links. If you're double clicking and things are still not working, go into the Windows control panel and open the internet options. Go to the 'programs' tab and check if 'The Bat!' is selected under the 'e-mail' option. If not, select it and apply the change. That should do it.

Re: Problems with Browser Configuration, POP Access, Mail Folders
Hello there, If you're double clicking and things are still not working, go into the Windows control panel and open the internet options. Go to the 'programs' tab and check if 'The Bat!' is selected under the 'e-mail' option. If not, select it and apply the change. That should do it. Are you sure? I would say: setting a mail-client there tells IE/Netscape which program is to be used when clicking on a link in the form of mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] on a web-site. If there is no reaction when clicking on a link inside the _mail-client_ then there is a problem with the setting of the default _browser_. AFAIU.

Although this isn't a fix for your Yahoo problem, but may I suggest setting up an account with OperaMail... www.operamail.com who offer free POP3 access. Just subscribe to a Mailing List you are already subscribed to via your Yahoo address, and notice the difference in speed between the two Servers. That is how I started out when I was having a problem with my @Home Servers. As of this moment, I have subscribed to *all* my Mailing Lists under OperaMail, and am so happy I did. The Account is super easy to set up via the Web Page, and when setting up the Account here in TB!, simply use operamail.com for both your SMTP and POP3 Server names. That is all there is to it, and you won't be sorry. It may take a little effort to get everything moved over, but the effort will be rewarded. Nick -=N.J. Andriash | Vancouver, B.C.
