Well, I still own a license for the current version of The Bat!, perhaps I should try again. Coincidentally, though, I just saw a thing on TechRepublic that mentioned a client I haven't previously heard of: i.Scribe. Anyone tried it? [edit to add] The free version is limited, the commercial version is $10, adds support for multiple identities/accounts... but the author's spelling is worrying  it seems very amateurish

Foxmail, originates from China, but don't hold that against it. It is definitely a decent piece of software. I myself used version 5 of it for quite some time with 7 mail accounts that each received a relative big amount of messages (50+) daily and that version at least didn't choke on that. I don't know if that is sufficient for your needs. Ah well, it's free and there is even a portable version you can download. I see also that it even can hook up with an Exchange server as well. Might be interesting to try it again, as I am not satisfied with the search capabilities from Thunderbird lately. there is also a similar chinese/japanese DreamMail both, it's been a long time since I tested them

hello! I will be on the go for a long period, moving from place to place and I may not have the chance (or the budget) to rent furnished rooms so, I am looking for portable furniture there are millions of portable chairs and desks, some of which I like are:   do you own anything better or have any better idea? I just want something to sit, eat, place my laptop, read a book, write, nothing much! thanks!

well, while I dont deny similar thing exists, I will need to see some screenshots of those clipboard managers
the uniqueness as I imagine it, is that it can store data in table with cells (or in columns and rows if you prefer) where the position of a cell, means something for the data of that cell (for example if the second column contains surnames, then you know that the text of the cell "James" is not a name, but a surname)
most, if not all, clipboard managers, afaik, store data strings, not data tables, ie. one text line below the other, or multi-line text strings one below the other
how can I save a table in this format?
additionaly, a popup that will follow cursor and it will be easy to choose (with various keyboard/mouse methods) a specific cell to paste, is also a part of what I imagine

yes, I want everything (that's what "etc" was for)
rgdot's recommendation is very common, but my experiecne with httrack was poor (admittedly long ago)
teleport used to do alot better job, but again: 1) it is somehow cumbersome to use it in everyday usage since I will have to manually insert the url from the web browser to the other (httrack) program (ok, I will just need some kind of ahk script to automate it) 2) it is not as simple as it should, because there are lots of settings and it does not offer the WYSIWYG of the browser

hello!
often, when we want to copy and paste data that comprises of multiple data fields (for example the data of this forum's member accounts, where each account comprises of the data field of username, password, email, etc), it is difficult to automate it
we first must bind the source fields to the target fields, which is not very easy
so, I am looking for a program/script that will copy Excel cells (or similarly csv formatted text) and then let me paste a specific field to the target form field
I would highly appreciate ideas on how to facilitate such operations, however I already have an idea:
to display the data copied in a popup, where we can click a cell and paste that value in the point of the cursor
thanks!

hello!
there is an excellent feature in Linux and I am looking for a similar in Win7/8
I want to point a taskbar button or a window and kill the process of it (first try to close it regularly and then, if not successful, kill it)
is there a way?
I want it to work with with a mouse combination, like hold middle click and left click, etc
thanks!
