Mark Yes, you are correct. I've tried almost everything I could think of to recover the DB. Copied it to an OS-8 machine with a rock solid, big RAM Emailer setup and the DB would not rebuild, either Typical or Advanced. Both would crash the program or freeze the OS. Tried on another OS-9 and and OS-X machines, and same reaction. Tried to send an email, crash. Can open and read the older mail, but nothing else. Can't forward either.
I did have an August 06 backup and I retain mail for 30 days. I also run another system parallel, so the only thing I've really lost are the SENT mails from this system that I didn't CC myself (most, I don't). But they are in the DB and I'll save it for lookup if I might need one of them. Guess I'll get in the habit of making a backup on a more regular basis. (Yes, I know I should anyway.) Also, I think I'll look into an archiving of the mail into Filemaker. Thanks for all the direct suggestions - but sad to say, nothing worked. stephen - OnlyTOYS.com Our above response was in response to your email below: >Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 18:54:38 -0800 >From: Mark James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: Orpahned folder, app craaaaaaashing > > >> >>I'm desparate - I need these emails and folders. >>Please respond to list and, as i'm on digest, also directly to: >>[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >These are tough to recover from. when I have gotten this, I have never >fully recovered the database. > >What is your latest backup?
