 Hi SyP,

 Whenever I delete an attachment from one of my folders, TB says:

  Error:
  An error occured while reading the message base [full path].
  Do you want to repair the message base now?

 I say yes, and some seconds later TB deletes the attachment.
 It occurs every time with this folder.

 I don't have a clue what's wrong, but I would suggest first compress
 the folder to clean up deleted messages, and see if the problem goes
 away. If not, you may create another folder, move all messages from
 the problematic folder to the new one, and see how it goes.

I would first backup that folder, Just in case after compression its
more sick then before...

 If still unsolved, there might be some currupt message(s). Try to
 remember when this started, and move all messages before that date
 (or a few days earlier to be safe) to yet another new folder, and
 see if you can isolate it. Another method is to export all (recent)
 messages to a text file and examine it with an editor. Back to when
 I was using Outlook Express and Eudora, I was amazed to see garbage
 data crept into my mail from time to time. I've never seen this with
 TB, yet. But you might want to check it out.

Doesn't.

Problem still remains.

I will try it, thanks for your tips.
