TB! Recieves messages but says it can't write them to disk.
Hi all, I'm not too sure whether or not this (incredibly) talented group can help me or it's a developer problem. Two days ago emails stopped coming into my account. A quick check of the log showed that the messages were listed as received but each message was promptly followed with ! 7/8/03, 16:20:20: fetch - [inbox] could not store message (file name - c:\docume~1\admin~1\locals~1\temp\bat1bbo.tmp A check of the tmp files in question however shows that the messages were written (with varying file sizes) and I can open them in Notepad and see the message. There were over 18,000 tmp files in the directory and at first I thought that TB! was choking on the number so I deleted them all. This didn't help. I then downloaded TB! and reinstalled it (I didn't do an uninstall first.) The particulars of the machine running TB! is as follows: Win2K Service Pack 3 TB! Version 1.62r Approximately 188,000 emails in the main account The Mail folder is approximately 5.6 gigs Any suggestions, or work arounds would be greatly appreciated. -- Best regards, Nick Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

(TB is trying to use MDPthe Administrator's temp folder). MDP 2) What are the permissions on that folder? MDP 3) What AV software is running - could that be stopping things? MDP 4) Are you running a firewall? Thank you for your response. I am indeed logged in as Administrator and the permission for the folder are set properly (the tmp files are written to the temp directory). I should have mentioned that I was running a firewall (ZoneAlarm) and a AV (AVG). I shut both of them down and the same problem occurs (I'm doing checks through the message dispatcher). One test I did do involved using another TB! account and did manage to download an email I sent it. Is it possible that my brother finally came up with the magic number of emails that can bring TB! to it's knees? I was shocked when I saw the number emails and the size of the Mail folder. -- Best regards, Nick Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

MM 1) problem can be antivirus, but you did not told about antivirus MM warnings. MM 2) tmp files are stored but not imported to TB, as I understand. Did MM not your system crashed two days ago? Try to close TB, backup MM messages.tbb and messsages.tbi files from INBOX folder of this account MM and run TB again. One user has similar problem and he had corrupted MM msgbase somehow (probably by crash). Thank you for your response. I was running an AV but shut it down and tried again with the same results. According to my brother the machine hasn't crashed recently. As I just wrote Marck, I can download to another account under TB! but for my main account the log keeps insisting that it can't write to the Windows directory file. However TB! tmp files clearly show up in that directory. I think my brother hit the magic number that chokes TB. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Best regards, Nick Current version is 1.62r | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Importing messages and address book from Netscape 7?
Hi All, I recently convinced a friend of mine to take the plunge and buy The Bat. Unfortunately, The Bat's import wizard doesn't have an option to import messages or address books from Netscape 7 and I can't find an export function anywhere in Netscape 7. Is this a non-starter or am I missing something obvious? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Best regards, Nick Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
