How to Stop "Path Not Found" Message, When common folders point to an unavailable network location.
 
#1
0  
I have some common folders assigned to a network location. When I leave the network and start TB, it tries to scan each folder and returns a "Path Not Found" error for every inaccessible folder.

Is there a way to have TB stop scanning for those folders when I know they won't be available? Is there a startup switch that could do this?

Thank you.

I had a similar problem with folders stored on a PGP disk volume, when it's not mounted. There doesn't seem to be switch, setting or whatever to supress these messages, so I ended up with moving everything to the PGP disk.

In your case the only solution I see is to use some .bat, .vbs or similar file to start with different configurations. Backup all theBat config files, get some file monitoring tool, delete the common folders (select to leave msg base, so folders will only disappear from theBat) and see which file changes - it will likely be one file. If so, you now have 2 copies of this file - one without common folders, and one with (in the backup).
Put these 2 files somewhere else, then you can overwrite the file TB uses with one of them, and then start TB. In case you use a .vbs file, you may first check if network location is accesible, and depending on the result decide which file to provide to TB, then start TB.

The suggested method will work, the file you need to copy is the account.flb (account.efb when you're using OTFE) as found in the mail directory (The similar files in the account directories store the account folders.

Note that when you've stored several of your common folders in on a LAN location and the rest in your mail directory and you add (or change the properties of) a folder in your mail directory this means that you need to make your correction twice: once with the LAN setup and once for the local setup.
