Re[2]: Remove old messages, what date is used?

If you select to remove messages older than 5 days, TB! will keep messages which is up to 5 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes old. No. It doesn't add any days. If it used a number one less than it does, than if your setting was to delete after one day, a message which arrived at 2359 would need to be deleted after one minute. That's not quite true. TB! does not delete messages at midnight only. It deletes them the same time they have arrived, but x+1 days later. This message will reach me at about 10:58 Tuesday (april 2) local time and I've set the TBUDL to automatically delete messages after five days. That means that this message will not get deleted until after 10:58 (or is it 10:57? I'm not sure) at Monday (april 8). It would make more sense if it was deleted at 10:58 Sunday (april 7). / Marcus Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re[2]: Remove old messages, what date is used?
Hello Dwight, I wish it was at least optional to use Received or Created. I find that Created in general is more real. actually it isn't at all. I get messages which where created next week, or even next year, and that were created in 1985. I have no control over the clock settings of someone who sends me mail. By using the received date, you determine that the message will be on your machine for a finite amount of time. I agree with you that, once in a while, you and everybody get some messages with the most extraneous dates. However, if it was optional to use Received or Created, both you and I would be happy. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Re[2]: Remove old messages, what date is used?
Hello Marcus, Thanks for your reply. I have selected Remove old messages On Exit in a few folders and it doesn't seem to work, at least as I expected. Which date is used to determine if a message is old, the Received or the Created one? Received. Besides, TB! actually adds one day to your settings. If you select to remove messages older than 5 days, TB! will keep messages which is up to 5 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes old. I wish it was at least optional to use Received or Created. I find that Created in general is more real. I have imported some e-mail folders from my previous e-mail client (some with messages several years old) but, for TB!, they have been Received just a couple of days ago. I now have in a same folder messages much older than those that were already in the folder, but that have been received much later. While it is true that TB! receives messages when imported, it would be good if while importing it had an option to set Received date/time equal to Created. Some thing happens with some accounts that don't use very frequently, or some that I don't check while I am on travel, the Received time may be weeks later than Created -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Personally, when specifying 5 days, I want to keep messages for five days, not six. Well, thats a minor problem, it's easy to adjust your settings. -- Regards, Marcus Ohlström Using The Bat! v1.60c on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 PGP Public Key at http://www.canit.se/~marcus/pgp.txt Current Ver: 1.60c FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
