Currently TB! cannot handle multiple POP servers per account. If you wish mail from multiple POP servers to be in a single TB! account, you have to either use a mail server to funnel messages (I do this to an extent) or create filters to move messages to the desired account as they come in.

The Bat! works very well and very reliably with huge message bases. I don't think you'll have much problems there.

It's possible, yes, though not straight forward as in other clients that support multiple POP servers per account.

You have to configure TB! to do what you want through its templates. Through the templates and your configuration, you can make it do a lot more than you thought possible. :-) M> Currently I have The Bat installed and I've imported most of my M> messages, but it doesn't seem to have picked up my filters, so it'll I think you have to export and import the filters separately, unless the migration wizards have been improved. - -- Allie C Martin -- List Moderator and fellow end-user PGPKey - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [MUA: TB! v1.54 Beta/48 (*) OS: Windows XP 5.1.2600] ¯¯ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (MingW32) iEYEARECAAYFAjyRuHMACgkQV8nrYCsHF+I1EgCeLHCD6RBwI3pHM2kPl6y0P6ij GWEAn2Qdm0GfvjFClQudVHLgkSLudaGW =Tch7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ________________________________________________________ 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
