Resolved Where is TB View File?

TB allows you to customize the View file for the various folders in your account(s). It's an editable file located on the computer, but I can't remember where it's located or what it's called.

Anyone know?

 

JSS,

Just curious, what version of TB are you using ?

17.0.2

 

JSS,

Thanks - I am not familiar with this "option ", but maybe "mailViews.dat" in the profile directory may be of interest. Other wise you may be able to find the file by doing a search in profile directory for a file containing a unique phrase/word thats in the customize dialog. ??

Thanks, Capt, that's exactly the file I need, but I couldn't remember its name or where it was located. It's something I rely on, especially when my inbox gets too full.

Unfortunately, the list's customize function won't let you re-order the list ... that has to be done with a text editor.

 

JSS,

Glad it helped some.

Not being a TB user, don't really know much about "customizing" the file. It seems to be there in SM also, I just never had reason to use it......

Don't use TB, but can't you make other folders under your name (not the inbox) and move some of your inbox stuff to it?

 

Bill...

I don't know about other mail clients, but TB provides five primary folders in a user's account ... inbox, drafts, sent, archives, and trash.

In an organizational layout that works for me I use just the five, but I have 58 folders and sub-folders in the archives folder, and 40 in the sent folder. (I'm a packrat, I'm afraid, and tend to keep many of the messages I receive, and most that I send ... I could, and should, move all but the most recent to a DVD-R, but I just haven't done it.)

Too often I don't move messages from the inbox to the archives folders/sub-folders as readily as I should, which is when the customized views on the View menu (maintained in the mailViews.dat file) come in handy.
