No, you do either a restore or copy your saved mail directory, it amounts to the same. -- Groetjes, Roelof Moderator: Move it to another echo, please.

The proper way to restore a backup is placing the backup file on the new system, install TB and on the first run you tell TB to restore from backup. After the restore you close TB and restart it. That way even the registry settings should be restored >> My solution was to copy the folder structure to the new system and >> then install TheBat into this folder structure.

Yes, the only things that won't be preserved this way are the registry settings like window size and placement. -- Groetjes, Roelof Moderator alert! Well, yes ma'amsorry.

I tried the Backup - Restore solution without success. Restore can not "merge" the restore if you had already fetched some mails from the mail server. My solution was to copy the folder structure to the new system and then install TheBat into this folder structure.
