The Bat! v 12.0.3 (64-bit), Windows 10.

The Bat was doing a backup and was stuck part way through for 24 hours. I had to kill it from the Task Manager. Now when I launch it (after shutting down the computer and then booting), I get this error: "Could not register tab. Error -2147467259"

What can I do to get it to launch again?

Thanks.

The programme responds with delays lasting several seconds when new unread emails are clicked on. This is particularly noticeable when a large number of new emails (e.g. 100 after an absence) have arrived.

If the two highlighted options are disabled, the delay disappears.
However, monitoring is not enabled!

For the longest time I've been using the MailTicker feature of the The Bat.
I don't know why but it stopped working recently on its own.

I went into the setting and saw the Ticker was turned Off..
After I turned it On again is still is not working!

I go into:

Options/Preferences/Display MailTicker

Any ideas why it's not working now?
And how to fix it?

Dear The Bat! Users!

I use The Bat! v.11.5.2 64-bit.

When I try to copy a fragment of an HTML message and paste it into another program, such as MS Word, the text is copied correctly, but the images are not. Instead of each image, an empty frame appears.

Has anyone encountered this behavior? Is there any way to change it in the settings?

Thank you in advance for any advice,

I've searched previous posts and see a limitation of being only able to export folder by folder.

I'd be appreciative of suggestions and things that might trip me up with this task.
Will I be able to pass on a .tbk file containing the messages that would be usable by someone else?
Does the act of exporting remove the message encryption?

I can delete them one-by-one but that will take forever.

i have tried marking the emails and moving them from the inbox of the discontinued account to the inbox of a different account but no matter if i copy cut paste nothing seems to work.

1) is it possible at all?
2) how must it be done?

next thing that i would need to know: when i finally delete the account from the mail program will it delete the account entirely? including the corresponding directories for that account as well, or must i manually delete something again?

any help would be great.

Hello,

I just moved to a new PC, and at the same time I upgraded The Bat! Pro from 10.6.x to current 12.03, and installed it on the new PC.  Selected the old mailbox on another drive, and it offered to import all my accounts (about 30).  The accounts all seemed to import correctly except one, which says 0 messages in all boxes/folders.  I've checked the 0 message account and the backup, and data seem identical, so the data are there.

I can see that The Bat! is still causing constant disk activity and has for over an hour now, so I'm not sure if it's just now finished importing or what, so I dare not shut it down in case something should be messed up.  So what's going on here, and what do I do?

[pasted image data deleted - mod]

Thanks,
Richard

When I send mail from my main ISP accounts using The Bat
they are sent.
I did some tests today, sending mail from one ISP account to another (I have around 6 accounts).

Then I waited and tried to receive the mail using The Bat. They never showed up!
I decided to go online to Yahoo Mail and check there (because my ISP partners with Yahoo Mail).

Sure enough the mail was received in the accounts I was checking for.
But The Bat didn't receive them! In one case I waited more than an hour.

This is not right obviously, and very important that I fix it.

Any suggestions?

Sorry for the poor description/terminology.

Something changed recently with my The Bat program.
I don't know what triggered it. At first I thought it looked cool.
But now I would like to return the view to what is was prior to the change.

Here's what I see now:
Folders on left side / From -  To  - Subject - Received date - Created Date and finally to the Right there is a NEW column that shows the current e-mail, opened up.

Previously, the current e-mail only showed when I clicked on it. Then a pop-up would open showing the e-mail.

What setting do I go into to return it to the way it was?

My 1st mistake was getting a GMAIL account.

My 2nd mistake was thinking TheBat! would work with it.

A few years ago, through some miracle and hours of pouring over forums, I made this combo from hell work.

Then I switched to Thunderbird Mail (TB) as TheBat! stoped connecting to my GMAIL account.

Now that TB has started failing (unable to reconfigure accounts w/out major coding expertise), I thought I would try TheTBat! again.

Bad idea. After finding the solution for "bad handshake" now I am facing another idiotic error. No more digging for what should just f-ing work!

Tomorrow I am backing up my gmail data and that evil provider is out.

I will set up an account on somtehing small FastMail and try TheBat! again with that. If still no go, there goes TheBat!

I really dont ask for much. WTF happened since the times email was f**ing simple?

So tired of this constant idiot-geek nonsense.

I have my layout as full height account tree on left, message list at top right, and message preview at bottom right.

Since updating to 12.0 64 bit, my mouse wheel scrolls too many lines. It used to follow the windows setting of three line per wheel scroll.

Is there a setting in TheBat! to control how far it scrolls when you move the wheel?

My wheel still behaves correctly in all other apps.

ETA:
Actually the Message preview window slider bar is erratic too, it scrolls too little or too much when I pull on it.
The only way to move accurately is to use the scroll bar up and down buttons.

If there is no setting (that I cannot find) I'll move this to bugs.

Hello, maybe somebody else out there is having the same issue as me.  I am unable to receive Hotmail e-mail via POP3 in The Bat, but It works fine with other email apps.

When i set up the POP3 account and test the incoming connection, I get the following error:  "Login Failed".  I'm able to send an email but not receive any email using POP3.  By the way, I already went to my Hotmail account and authorized "The Bat" and enabld IMAP and POP3 connections, so it should work but unfortunately it isn't.  Any help would be appreciated.

When I rollback to 10.5.4 then problem is over.

The Bat! v12: more compact, clearer, more convenient
30 December 2025

We are pleased to announce the release of The Bat! v12 — the next major update of our email client, in which we focused on the convenience of everyday email work. The most important changes affect the display of message threads and the interface of key components of the program. All new features and improvements make e-mail management more compact, clearer, and more efficient.


Compact mode for Conversation View

In The Bat! v12, Conversation Thread View received a compact view mode designed for users who actively work with long and extensive conversations.

When compact mode is enabled, the vertical space taken by individual messages is reduced: spacing, headers, and auxiliary elements are optimized, while the logic of the thread structure and visual connections between messages are preserved. This allows more messages to fit on the screen without losing clarity or the structure of the conversation.

Compact mode is especially useful when analyzing conversation history, working with discussions containing a large number of replies, as well as in situations where it is important to quickly view the entire thread without constant scrolling.

Compact mode can be quickly enabled or disabled depending on current tasks. A corresponding option is available in the context menu of a message in Conversation View, as well as in the program settings in the „Options\ Preferences\ Viewer/Editor” menu. This lets you easily adjust how conversations are displayed to your personal preferences and workflow with no extra steps.


Improved quick reply in message threads

We improved the quick reply editor in message threads. It allows you to reply to messages directly within the thread, without opening a separate editor window and without interrupting your work with the conversation.

The new version of the email client adds text formatting capabilities to the quick reply editor. When composing a reply, you now have access to basic formatting tools such as text highlighting, various styles, and other formatting elements. This makes quick replies more expressive and convenient while keeping the interface compact.

These improvements are especially noticeable during active correspondence, when it is important to reply quickly to incoming messages while preserving the context of the conversation and a consistent email style.


Simplified account creation

The process of creating new accounts has become more convenient thanks to support for automatic use of DNS autodiscovery data. When configuring a mailbox, the program can automatically retrieve server settings based on the domain of the email address, so manual input of settings is no longer required.

This simplifies the initial setup, reduces the errors, and allows you to start working with your email more quickly, especially when creating new accounts or working with corporate domains.


User interface improvements

Moreover, we introduced several visual refinements aimed at improving the convenience and consistency of the user interface. The changes affect both Conversation View and the address book.
In Conversation View, we improved visual elements that influence the clarity of actions and consistency with other areas of the program.

We have also made neat cosmetic adjustments to the new address book interface. Individual layout and alignment elements were refined to improve readability and make working with contacts more comfortable.

All changes respect the existing interface logic and are intended to make working with The Bat! more convenient, intuitive, and visually cohesive.

Smart Upgrade

If you purchased The Bat! v11 after June 1, 2025, we have great news for you — Smart Upgrade allows you to upgrade to The Bat! v12 free of charge without entering a key. Simply install The Bat! v12 and enjoy the new features!
