Eric, I just deleted any reference to bulk.mbx in the root user folder. It looks like things are back to normal.
Is it possible that immsgexp.exe was the culprit here? Was I misusing it? >From now on I'll just have the file renamed.

If it is root-bulk, then can you tell me how to start clean? It must be corrupted. The failed files never reach root-bulk. In fact, it looks like the messages are accumulating in root-bulk, but can not be browsed. This began happening about 2 weeks ago and is fairly regular as a couple days ago.

If not I would say the file is corrupted. Is this a regular occurrence or a hit-and-miss type thing? Eric S ----- Original Message ----- From: "L.
