I have a contact form which sends the form content to a main email address plus CCs to two other email addresses for backup. I reply to the messages from the main account, this has been working fine until the latest TheBat update.  When I reply from the main account I now get a "Reply Account" notification telling me that the message is being sent from one of the CC accounts instead, despite the "To:" address in the message is the main account address. See screenshot here:

Edit: And the message is indeed being sent from the CC account instead of the main account if I proceed.

Hi,

is there a way to exclude certain folders (like spam) from the count for the unread e-mails displayed at the task bar icon?

So similar to the mail ticker option.

Help1 Messages unreadable -- became miniscule in size! Reading messages impossible - they reduced to about 1/10 of normal size in forum The Bat! - Configuring the E-mail Client.
Help!! I can't read any of my messages and I didn't change anything in BAT! It just suddenly made messages less than 1/10 the normal size, showing about six screens of messages vertically one one screen,  and I can't figure out how to get the view back so I can read my messages. No zoom attempts work.

I was working in the new Adobe Photoshop upd ate for the first time and I went back to Bat! to open the new messages from my online students that I need to answer and I can't read any of them. About six pages of messages show vertically on screen at about 1/10 the normal size, though I didn't change any settings in Bat.

I normally have it se t at a 14 font (though that looks like a 10). The font on my mailboxes (hundreds of them!) and on messages I write is as it has always been. But messages received are unreadable - the font view is probably less than 1/2 point.

I can't find any way to fix this is! All I can do is select messages and copy them into Word so I can read them but then I have to copy them back to reply. I can't do this with 50-100messages a day (I work online). HELP! This is an urgent situation. I've lost many weeks of work due to chronic illness and have to handle my email around the clock for the next week.

After I downloaded thebat_64_12-2.msi, I ran it, and it nicely displayed everything in English.

That is, until I clicked "Finish". Then it wasn't finished, but displayed a whole wizard. But that  was all in Chinese! I tried to copy the text of the first step using two different tools, with the goal to have it translated by another tool. I could translate the title bar and the first text, which say “The Bat! 设置” and “数据保护”. That translates to “Settings”  and “Data Protection”. But I was not able to retrieve the long text between „数据保护“ and „保护加密的数据，使用“. Why is there a dialog after "Finish", and if it's really needed, how can I make it display in English?

There is the possibility to press the “取消” button, which means “Cancel”. But what does that entail? From the title bar as well as the “下一步” button, it seems obvious that there will be a list of settings, at least some of which are presumably needed before the first start. So, if I decide to press "Cancel", will I then be able to run the program? And will I be able to define all these settings in the program, skipping the wizard? If so, what is the complete list of settings I will then have to change in the program, and how to do so?

Hello,

I'm running The Bat! 12 on three computers, all of which are kept running at the same time. I'd like the Address Book to stay in sync across all three, including the full group and subgroup structure (the address book tree), and ideally without any manual work.

What I've tried so far:

1. Gmail Contacts synchronization — contacts come across, but groups and subgroups are not preserved.

2. CardDAV against a woelkli (Nextcloud-based) server — the same as with Gmail.

My questions:

- Is there any supported way to keep the Address Book in sync across multiple machines while preserving the group/subgroup hierarchy?

- Is the CardDAV implementation expected to omit groups entirely, or am I missing a setting that would export group membership?

For now I've fallen back to manually copying the .ABD files (plus ADDRBOOK.INI)

Any guidance on whether automatic, group-preserving sync is achievable would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Nenad

Anyone else having this issue?  I close The Bat! at night, and the next morning I try to open it and I get the message that "There is another instance of The Bat! in memory". So I have to go into Task Manager to End Task.

I haven't been able to stop it from happening, but I've made it less annoying.  I created a .bat file (I call it "Unload_TheBat_from_Memory.bat", and it contains a single line of code:

taskkill /IM thebat32.exe /f

I'm running Home v12.2. I've added two outlook accounts: IMAP works perfectly, SMTP does not. All messages I send just sit in the outbox. Initially the software asks me to re-insert my password (despite the setup including my password) and then returns the 'Client not authenticated to send mail' error.
The accounts are set up correctly. I can find no answer in these forums and have had no response from support. Does anybody have any thoughts?

FYI I have various Gmail accounts, all of which work perfectly well with TB; the outlook accounts all work as they should using the Outlook software at work and Fairemail on my mobile.

The Bat! v12.1, Windows 10 (w/ESU). I've added a new email address to The Bat! and apparently it has to be IMAP (it's a local ISP, not Gmail or one of those). This is probably my first IMAP account in The Bat!.
When I click on an email's subject line, sometimes it displays the email and sometimes it doesn't. I noticed in the bottom left corner of window, it will often say "TLS connection completed successfully", followed immediately by "Disconnected". That seems to be the times I don't get to see the email. Often I can get it by hitting "reply" or "forward", but I just want to read it.

I'll include a block fr om the log below (I've inserted blank lines wh ere time takes a jump in minutes). Is this something I'm doing wrong in The Bat!, or something on the ISP side?

Thanks.

The Bat! v12.1, Windows 10 (with ESU). Planning to clean out some old mail accounts and want to keep a copy available.

I ran a backup from Tools > Backup. Went surprisingly fast but did finish cleanly. Destination folder was "C:\Users\Andrew\Documents\Backups (various)"

If I navigate to that folder in File Explorer, I don't see the .TBK (there's a .zip in the attached screen capture, I ran that first).

If I search This PC for .TBK, I get one result, in "C:\Users\Andrew\Documents\Backups (various)" (!)

The screen capture here https://photos.app.goo.gl/UGjidFPanBRFJx4X8 shows both File Explorer windows, showing the difference. I blurred irrelevant stuff, and included Properties on the file that was found by search.

According to properties, the file isn't Hidden. Is there some reason I can't see the .TBK that's clearly there? (as far as I can tell).

Thanks.

Previously when I've typed two dashes in the PureHTML editor, it would automatically convert them (--) into a single em-dash. In 12.2, the editor now makes it into a mystery character that doesn't appear.

I guess switching to RichText will fix it, but it'd be nice to get regular -- parsing back again in PureHTML. (I don't see a way to turn it on and off within that editor.)

V12.2, W 11 Pro.

When I select a folder in the list of folders, it turns white, so the folder name text disappears. This text reappears when I select a message in the message list.

The exception to this is that the parent ("root") folder for each account remains visible.

This kind of feels as if a text colour setting for the active (focussed?) folder has been set to white, but I haven't found any settings for text colours.

I have just noticed that the text reappears if I switch to another window, so it feels very much related to focus. I was attempting to take a screenshot but using my graphics program re-enabled the white-out text. The attached file was created using the built-in alt+PrtScn method.

Presumably, this authentication type will be available by other email hosting providers.

A number of articles/videos are reporting that Windows share is reducing. Windows 11 with its: push to cloud storage, AI, privacy issues, need to be actively online and linked to MS account etc. People switching to Android and phones is another.

I've been a TB user for at least 15 years (currently on v10). With 12 email accounts it's an indispensable tool for managing my affairs. I particularly like the Alt+F2 for accessing all my email accounts in seconds.

There is a trend to webmail but using webmail it would take me 30 mins as my email provider web interface does not prompt password manager to enter the passwords and webapps are slow and rely too much on mice. TB has been very reliable (OK 1 feature I avoid as it looses my emails!).
I'm on Win 10 ESU so my thoughts are turning to moving to Linux and options:.

  1. Wine: I did try TB under Wine many years ago and it seemed to work. There are now a number of Wine GUI front ends (e.g. Bottles, Phoenicis, Q4Wine)

  2. Virtual Machine: I run a 16bit app in Virtual Box but only open a few times a week. Not tried TB and unsure if I / my computer could live with VB being open 10 hours a day (I usually have too many apps & windows open and need less!)

  3. Other Windows under Linux options: A search indicates: Winboat (new),  CrossOver, WinApps (with RDP).

  4. Other email client s/w: Search gives:  Thunderbird, Evolution, Mailspring, KMail, SeaMonkey, Geary, Blue Mail, Claws, Mutt, NeoMutt, Betterbird, Trojitá.
    Key features for me are: able to import messages from TB, multiple POP accounts in one interface, can handle 10,000s emails, filters, flagging/tagging.
TB users considering moving off Windows, what have you tried and found best?

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?

If I click the drop down menu to the right of these fields a list of possible e-mail addresses shows up.
I can choose any of these addresses to use in these fields.

I would like to add a few more e-mail addresses to appear in the drop down menu.
Can someone please tell me how I go about adding more addresses?

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,

Łukasz

I am leaving my position on a board and need to pass many years of emails to my successor..I use on the fly encryption with theBat!.
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?

thanks for your time.

I'm having a problem with the calendar.
When I open it, it opens blank.
I have Windows 11 25H2 and The Bat! 12.1 no auto update.
I've tried several versions of The Bat! and the same thing happens.
I deleted the test files from:
cef-data/Calendar
cef-data/Calendarmanager
but the problem persists.
Support is completely confusing.
After a few weeks, the only recommendation is to reinstall the program.
That was done at the very beginning.
I'm out of ideas.

Sending as Different emails from the Same Sorted/Forwarded/Filtered Folder! in forum The Bat! - Filters.
SORRY,,, THIS SEEMS LIKE SUCH A SIMPLE PROBLEM,, IT SHOULD NOT EXIST,, but,
IT HAS ME STUMPED!!!
WHAT AM I MISSING GUYS????

PROBLEM: I want to Receive/Sort/Filter, Move Incoming emails from Several Credit Card Companies (Each a Different Inbound Email address at the Same Domain, and put them in a Single Folder called CC's..

IE.. Example: These emails sorted/Moved to a Folder called CC's
Chase@example.com
PNC@Example.com

PROBLEM... When you click Reply When looking at ONE Email(Chase@) for example, it uses the FOLDERS Identity Settings,,, INSTEAD OF using the Email address that was used to Receive the Email (Chase@)..

I don't see a way to CREATE a New Email,,, AS,, Either of those emails either... Only what is in the Folder Identity Settings.
These Two Emails are Fowarders..
Say the Main Email Account is Example@Example.com.
Chase@ and PNC@ are Forwarded to the Example@Example.com email address.
Example@ is the Email of the Email Account and picks up the Emails via POP3/SMTP..
The Emails IN that account come into The Bat as Chase@ and PNC@, and go into the Example@ email address Folder.
They are Sorted with Office Filters into Sub Folders Under example..
EVERYTHING works perfectly,,, UNTIL YOU CLICK REPLY, FORWARD, etc..
INSTEAD OF Chase@ or PNC@ replying,,, the Emails go out Example@ because of the Folder Identity Settings..

There MUST be a way to do this... It is just too efficient to be able to do this for it NOT to be something that can be done..
All Emails from Every Credit Card Company dropping into the Same CC's Folder, and each email able to be replied to, and RETURN to the SAME eMail Address... Right now, I don't see how this can be done???

NOTE: Just so there is no misunderstanding...
I KNOW this can be done with a Folder for EACH Email address. The Reply From and Address to email address fields filled out with the Email address for THAT FOLDER... THIS is the Problem.. I have too many folders and I am trying to consolidate the emails that I do not get a lot from..
I have been using the SAME EMAIL ADDRESS for a little over 20 years,,, BUT, someone got a hold of it lately, and I am getting 200-400 emails in that account every 2-3 days. And, they are NOT easy to filter out.. It is actually impossible..

I am going to have to Convert over to a different email address, but, I need to do some Organizing BEFORE I do that..
This is the best Idea I have at this point.

Anyone??? There MUST be a way to do this!
WHEN you are Reading the Inbound email, in the CC's folder, and you RIGHT CLICK on the Chase@ or PNC@ email address,, there is an Option to "Send "TO" This email Address"... Sounds crazy to send an email to yourself..
IF it said,,, Send "FROM" This email address, I would not be typing this right now, and it would make a WHOLE LOT MORE SENSE!!

I want to use Gmail "Recent mode".
Problem is that for every mail I send I get a copy back. Ending up with duplicates.
So I need to set up a filter that deletes the copy.

Have noticed that the copy contains the header field "Return-Path", the outgoing email does not.

Have created a filter with "Additional params" with "Return-path" equals my email, but it does not match.
