I tried THe Bat version 3 before and loved it, except for one thing - it kept losing my email in corrupted files.

I'm trying it again and want to make sure I am absolutely backed up. I have a back up program to do this automatically for me.

What files do I need to back up to make sure that no matter what happens, I'll be able to restore my email?

Thanks much

you only need to backup the mail folder, to see where it is click Tools/Preferences/System and see 'Mail Directory'. Everything important (messages, adr. books, filters, acc. settings etc.) is inside.

Additionaly you may also backup the whole registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT
although theBat keeps there mostly non-essential stuff (and the registration info, I think)
