Addressbook query
Hello Everyone, I recently created a new Addressbook containing the addresses of all incoming emails. This worked fine as I then set up a filter to show incoming mails from existing contacts in a special folder. Today I intended to add a further folder for important or suspicious contacts based on a further addressbook that should contain email addresses for monitoring. I created the new address book and then noticed that my previous address book containing all emails is empty. The default personal addressbook including its groups still exists. Looking at the file size of the lost addressbook in the application folder it may indeed by empty as it has the same size as the new AB I created this morning. Is there any easy way to repopulate this AB (basically all email addresses contained in one folder) and any idea what I did wrong (so I will avoid this in future?) -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 3.98.4 on XP Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I looked at new addressbook when the addresses were actually in a subgroup of the personal address book. I am surprised though that this came allocated to one of my earlier unrelated queries instead of a new question? -- Tom using TheBat! 3.98.4 on XP Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

If he uses the same email address for both private and business emails, TB cannot know whether your mail is private or not. In that case, you would not put the signature into the AB template, but add it manually with a Quick Template every time. I find that too cumbersome and just use the business singature in that case, even if the mail is private. Who cares? -- Cheers, Thomas. Dim sum.

addressbook query
Hello Everyone, I am trying to improve my usage of addressbook, groups and template functions and stumbled across two queries. It appears that if I include a contact in a group, this contact can no longer be searched in the normal addressbook but only in the groups. While I can set up contacts in various groups, why do they disappear from the overall addressbook listing? Also, if I have set up templates for the group, it appears that they have priority over templates of the individual. Assuming this is correct and I would like to include a contact in a formal group (with legal templates) for recurring messages but also have private emails with this person, how would I do that? If I want to meet for tennis privately, I don't want the formal template to override? -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 3.95.1 on XP Current version is 3.95.06 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
