Multiple Personalities?

Is there a way to set up the bat with multiple personalities using a single set of folders?

I did a search on that in the forum, and was surprised not to see the question at least asked.

I thought that perhaps changing the 'virtual folder template name' to be the same for 2 accounts would allow me to do something like that, but trying to change it, get I get an error that it must contains %Name, which I assume is the name of the account - there is nothing in the documentation to help me on that option. If it has to contain the full account name, then it won't do what I am looking for.

I know I can use the program with different sets of folders for each, but that's not what I want to do for all the accounts I use.

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to do with "multiple personalities" You can have common folder and filter what you want into them. If you are trying to use multiple names from the same account, that can be done with templates on the account, folder group or individual basis

You can do almost ANYTHING with the Bat and there are some real experts in here (not me)  :D
Could you describe exactly what you want? This is user to user forum and Ritlabs doesn't watch it as a rule
Thanks

What I am trying to do is have one profile to send messages from foo@domain.com and another to send from bar@domain.com, and to have both of those profiles share a common Outbox.

What you mentioned about a common folder and using filters to move messages there sounds like what I want, although I can't quite figure how to do that.  I created a filter on "sender contains *" but it didn't move anything, either when a message was sent or on a manual filter.

Is there perhaps another way to do wildcards other than "*"?

If you're sending both addresses from the same account, then both sets of messages should end up in the same 'Sent Mail' folder.
However, if you're sending them from multiple accounts, then that won't be the case.

A solution that will work is this:
Create an address book group: foobar.
Add both your addresses foo@domain.com and bar@domain.com to that address book group.
Create an outgoing filter with the condition: address groups - foobar - contain - sender
and with the action to move the messages to your foobar folder.

In case you're trying to this for one account, then use an account based filter for that account. In case it sghould work for multiple accounts then you should make it a common filter.
