Thanks, Paul, Your notes will be very useful. One question I forgot to ask:
Hajdu recommended in response to my question"What is the best way to set up The Bat on a new computer when that computer is attached to a home network that has 2 computers running The Bat?" that I use a backup of TB from the old laptop rather than from the host pc on which TB is running. That makes sense, particularly because two filters and subfolders were created on the old laptop that are not on the host PC's version of TB. However, I have also observed that the <alt> F2 command (to download e-mail from all accounts at once) does not work on the laptop, even though both the old laptop and the host PC are running the same version of TB. Since we have about a dozen different e-mail accounts, it is desirable to be able to download all at once. Is there any way I can fix this problem without installing a backup of the host pc on to the old pc and new pc? -- Avi Avram Sacks Chicago Using The Bat ver. 4.0.18 on MS XP Pro SP3 and soon Windows 7. ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
