How to restore old Profile after Syscrash?
 
#1
0  
Hi

after the reinstall of WinXP I don't know how i can rescue all my Mails from the Profile before the Crash. I can not import, because i didn't exported, so there are the old Mails in "%appdata/The Bat! Pwd" and i don't know how to get them back in TheBat!.

Could someone help me or is there a HowTo or other Thread (i didn't found one)?  :|

You don't need to import, just point TB to your existing message base.

Install TB
Run TB
If you were using OTFE, set it to use an encrypted message base again, with the same password
Point TB to your old mail directory (%appdata%/etc)
Create new accounts with the same names as your old accounts.

I'm sure I've explained it in other threads, but searching for them is more work then typing this. ;-)

ok I tried this & it didn't work for me :(
My system crashed last night and I installed windows on a new drive.  
Now my old C drive is now my D drive.  How do I get my e-mail from the Bat from my D drive onto my new C drive into the Bat mail client?
I guess I'm not sure where my old mail directory was

If you don't know where your old mail directory can be found and you don't have a backup either then you can't restore your stuff.
However, the default location for your mail directory would be something like:
c:\users\username\appdata\the bat!
or
c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\the bat!
Depends a bit on your Windows variety.
