Thanks. I've downloaded and tried it. It's fantastic. Fast, automatic, and you can archive the messages and append to the archive. I think I'm going to pay for this one. -- Best regards, Kennethmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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

JR TB! can do this for you automatically if you set up JR filters to 'export message to file'. Look under the JR Action tab in filters. You can set up a filter for read JR msgs /or incoming /or outgoing msgs. JR All of my sent msgs are archived in a 'Sent Email' text JR file. You could always add a 'Mail Rcvd' txt file. Thanks for quick response. I looked into that, but there are certain messages I read that I don't want to export. For instance, I review messages and then I delete them depending on the contents and/or usefulness manually, especially junk mails I get. However, using that rule, all messages I read (or combination thereof depending on my filters--I haven't been able to come up with a single filter for this since it involves more intelligence decision than filters would allow for deleting messages I don't need) would be exported even the messages I end up deleting. Perhaps there is a way to get around it. -- Best regards, Kennethmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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

In the 'Rule' JR dialogue you can select 'Manual. I think that's the only option. I guess it's better to create 20 rules for 20 folders I have one time than manually export 20 folders every time. I wish if we could have a filter that applies to subfolders as well if we apply to the main folder.

Hi Co-Batties, Wednesday, January 10, 2001 TF So, kindly define "power user" for me to understand who you TF mean. People who don't use the mouse? I hope Vincent doesn't take the bait and answer that question on list. I really don't wish for one of those 'power users only use the keyboard' type arguments/discussions to start here. It's not the place for it. Take it to TBOT or off-line if you both, or anyone else desires to further such a discussion. Thanks. I did, sorry, couldn't resist. I don't want this kind of discussion too - maybe a PM would have done ... as far as I'm concerned: I'll stop it - no further replies to the "power user" thread ;-) Cheers, Vince -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Hi Co-Batties, Wednesday, January 10, 2001 VDE Deleting Messages = I find Ctrl+Del very VDE irritating - a simple Del is more logical and wrist VDE friendly (as it's used more often than deleting a VDE folder). I always simply press delete to delete messages. VDE ... and if you have to delete 260 messages in one step? You VDE certainly won't press del when you're on a folder ;-) I don't get it. How would TB know which 260 messages to delete if you won't tell it by cklicking on them? I usually park the two or three messages of interest and delete the rest of the folder (especially mailing list folders). VDE This might sound a little bit arrogant now, but anyway: I VDE don't know a single "power user" that uses a mouse more VDE than once a day ... thus these mouse arguments are quite VDE irrelevant for me. No it's not arrogant, just ignorant g. I hardly use keyboard shortcuts (with a few exceptions) and receive an avarage of 100-200 emails a day (not counting FirstClass Conferences). I addition, I spend hours every evening on the PC, what with studying software engineering for an MSc and all, and generally enjoy being on the computer more than in front of the TV. So, kindly define "power user" for me to understand who you mean. People who don't use the mouse? I define "power user" as people who don't want to waste time. There are several studies showing, that the use of the mouse is in general for newbies. The reason is quite obvious: If you're able to use all of your eight fingers and two thumbs on the keyboard there is no real need to grab the mouse, to move the pointer, to select the right menu, submenu and item and finally to click it. This takes in average - according to your abilities - round about a second. Over all you will be wasting almost 15 minutes a day "driving around". And what is even worse IMHO: If you're stuck - mouse is defect, icons disappear etc. - you don't know what to do to make your apps work like you're used to. This BTW is not a spleen of me, it's deriving from own experience as well as from teaching many people how to use apps effectively and - proud, proud - I never had a single complaint and even better: Many people who fell down on their knees and thanked for know knowing how to work more efficient *and* to save time ... the brutal truth ;-))) Cheers, Vince -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Hi Co-Batties, Tuesday, January 09, 2001 VDE Deleting Messages = I find Ctrl+Del very VDE irritating - a simple Del is more logical and wrist VDE friendly (as it's used more often than deleting a folder). I always simply press delete to delete messages. ... and if you have to delete 260 messages in one step? You certainly won't press del when you're on a folder ;-) VDE Warning Sounds == I would like to turn of the VDE warning noise and even the messages when deleting files VDE from a folder or setting them from unread to read. If you use a mouse then these warnings are good since it's not unusual to accidentally chose the wrong option in the menu list. If you're using the keyboard then unintentional input is less likely. This might sound a little bit arrogant now, but anyway: I don't know a single "power user" that uses a mouse more than once a day ... thus these mouse arguments are quite irrelevant for me. I do agree, that all warnings should be made optional for those who don't need them. VDE Printing Problem There is a funny problem VDE existing in printing a mail - at least on my system and VDE when using the main view rather than the folder view. I VDE usually print mails of interest by reading them in the VDE preview and then pressing Ctrl+P. VDE First annoyance: If the cursor resides in the preview VDE Ctrl+P doesn't work - without any obvious reason. One of a few reasons why I don't use the preview window. But anyway it should work as it's expected to do, ey? ;-)) Cheers, Vince -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
