No big problem, I think. I am assuming that you have your old files in "C:\Program Files\The Bat!" and, therefor, your message base in the "Mail" subdirectory of "the Bat!". Correct? If this is so, then just install on the same directory. After the installation, if I recall correctly, you will be prompted (by a wizard) to create an Account. Name this new account with the name you used in your previous installation. If you have (had) more than one account, then any of the names will do. If you are not sure about account names, they are the same than the directories under "Mail". After you have created this first (or only account) TB should start and you should be able to see it in the folder tree. If you had more than one account then select Account/News to create each one by using the same names you had. The news accounts will be created with all the options, templates, folders and message base you previously had. After that, make sure you revise your Options/Preferences. I have done this a couple of times in the past and I had no problem. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
