how to import old (2001) The Bat accounts
 
Hi.

I have retrieved old backup of my hard disk and I would like to import old The Bat accounts.
I haven't used the Bat in years but I got sick of web interfaces and I'm back in business,
I could not find my old licence so I had to buy a new one. I got my current Gmail account set up and it appears to work OK.
I would like to import my old emails to this Gmail account.
I have seen the import feature (tbb files) but it would take ages as I had a lot of folders set up. and this can only import it one by one.
Is there a way to import whole account as it was set up in 2001-2002 ?


I would be grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Below is the file structure in my old TheBat mail folder:

some directiries with particular account names are hidden,

Is it a backup file made by the bat? IF so the only way to do it is to try it and see.
If it is the entire mail folder, close the bat, unpack it into the mail directory then start the bat. If they don't all show then press all at once: <CONTROL><ALT><DELETE> L and it should bring in all the folders that are not shown
 
Hi.

These are full email folders, not back up files.
How do you want me to press control-alt-delete in windows ? it will bring log out screen immediately.
 
Should be Control-Alt-Shift L to rediscover folders iirc
