I could find no method of keeping messages from different TB folders apart in MBA -- whatever I tried, it used the filename as the name of the mailbox. Are you saying that you can import TBBs into MBA and give custom mailbox names? If so, could you please provide instructions -- I really would appreciate them. > Generally speaking, I think exporting to .MSG messages is advisable > only if you want to forward messages on to someone else; it's an > Internet standard format. --- Agreed -- but I was grasping at straws. FWIW, I have a lot of respect for Eric. I've used Super NoteTab (now NoteTab Light) for years and IMO it's the most reliable and flexible text editor ever. When I downloaded MBA, I expected great things. When all's said and done, MBA does a fabulous job with OE and other lesser mailers. I just wish that I could get it working with TB! Eric suggested that Unix mailbox support may be in the next release of MBA. For me, that would be utopia because I could then incrementally archive to Unix mailboxes from TB and have the archives immediately available in MBA. -- Geoff Lane Cornwall, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Using The Bat! v1.53d on Windows NT 4.0 Build 1381 Service Pack 6 UK and USA - two countries divided by a common language -- ________________________________________________________ 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
