Long time Eudora user scratching head at The Bat
 
#1

As a long time Eudora Pro 7 user I have about 8-10 email accounts and have the following questions re The Bat:

1) Is there any way of importing the account settings into The Bat rather than entering the email server information manually?

2) In Eudora I have a folder under which the email for 2 or 3 of these accounts have their own main folder off of which there are individual mail boxes. I tried creating Folders and moving mail boxes for two accounts in THe Bat but did not have any luck of being able to have the mailboxes under the new folder.

not sure about 1). Try Tools > Import.. > Mailbox import wizard.


2)each account has its own Inbox which can't be inside another folder. But you can set a filter which automatically moves each message arriving to Inbox somewhere else. So you can have mail from several accounts grouped in subfolders of one main folder, but still each account has to have its own empty Inbox.

You can't import the account settings from Eudora.

With regard to your second question: TB is very account oriented and it needs to have the accounts in the root of the account tree pane. It is possible to drop all messages into common folders, but before you do, try to work with the account based structure,  it's offering possibilities that you'll throw away by dropping everything in common folders.

The problem is that some of these "accounts" are aliases for another account. I use the alias so if it gets spammed to death that I can delete the alias without affecting the main account. As well I have several of these types of main accounts from the same provider and would like to group all of this provider's email into a tree structure of folders.

As those aliases are just what you say, the messages will be collected when you check the mail for the real account. Create a filter to move those messages to their own folder and at the properties of that folder you set the folder identity to show that specific alias. Now when you select that folder and create a new message, it will have the properties of your alias in the From: header.
