> I was just contemplating the nuclear option but now I'm not so sure. Well I did it. A complete reinstall. What a nightmare only made slightly better because I created a script to switch between the old and new installations by copying the program and mail folders and reloading the registry for each installation.
It only take you so far and there is still a massive amount to do manually. Filters can be copied and pasted via Notepad so are relatively straightforward. I didn't have any solution for: 1) Creating a $JUNK$ folder at the account level. Many junk filters referred to this. 2) Virtual folders all need to be recreated. Some had quite complex filters. 3) All Tags are lost 4) All Colour groups are lost 5) Recreating the templates at the various account and folder levels is painful. You need to remember which folder have their own templates for New, Reply and Forward. 6) Don't import your old address book. Just copy the old address book. It's amazing how customization has been done since v1.62. I'm sure there's a lot more to discover over the next few days and weeks. The bottom line is that incoming IMAP filtering now works again. I wish I felt more pleased about it. -- Best regards, Tony mailto:t...@parkinch.co.uk ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.3.8.5 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
