Messages deleted in Inbox folder?
Hi TheBat Mailinglist members! I've been reading your mailinglist for months now. i often found some good tipps in the discussions but now I got a serious problem: Today I opened my TheBat Programme and I discovered that almost all mails in my Inbox (the Inbox of one of my three accounts) were deleted (originally there were about 2000 mails in the Inbox) - only 3 were left (the most recent ones). have you any ideas of what might have happend to my folder? any suggestings how to solve this problem? thanks for your help Markus -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Maybe it's just the index file in your inbox. Go to where your Inbox mail is stored (e.g. C:\Programme\TheBat\MAIL\Markus\Inbox) and _copy_ the files to another directory for backup. Then delete the file called MESSAGES.TBI (it's the index file for your inbox). Then start TB to see if it worked. Of course, TB has to be shut down before you start this. I might add that I generally find it a bad idea to leave mail in the Inbox. It's unsorted and accidents can cause a big loss of mails. But then I also make very frequent use of the backup functionality in TB. It rocks and it has saved me from a lot of trouble (Windows' fault, not TB's).

Re[2]: Messages deleted in Inbox folder?
I am a relatively new registered user of TB. I did use ExpressAssist to protect my OE mail. I have also performed one backup of all of TB, but have no proof that the backup was successful. Is there a way to confirm that everything is actually there? Does the backup program permit restoring in the event of a mail program failure? How is that done? A wish would be that the Folder Menu specifically spell out Empty Trash -- I think the potential to be in the wrong folder when emptying trash is great. Most other mail programs are pretty specific on which folder is being emptied and require selectively or consecutively marking mail for deletion from active folders and only allow emptying the trash folder.

(I've never had any problem but, if the file format were made open, someone could easily write a separate program to check that a backup file followed the format hint, hint :) If there's a catastrophic failure, the way you get everything back is: 1. Reinstall TB! from the installation package 2. Restore the backup file via Tools | Restore and everything (including the program settings) is restored from the time you made the backup. [There's a minor annoyance in that, the first time you run TB!, it forces you to go through an 'account wizard'. This can't be quit from so you have to put in nonsensical account information then, when you finally get to the main screen, restore the backup file and delete the nonsense account. I've put in a feature request that the 'account wizard' _can_ be quit].

Re[2]: Messages deleted in Inbox folder?
Thanks, Alastair. I will hope that I never have to restore but at least I know it is there in that event. Yes, I agree that emptying another folder will send contents to trash for permanent deletion from trash. But a tired user, late at night, isn't going to necessarily notice that he/she just dumped the sent or whatever other folder's mail into trash, and then emptied trash and compressed the program. It happens too often among the subscribers to my newbie mailing list for me to not be well aware of careless deletes. If you can *only* empty trash, but must selectively choose all or some of another folder to send *to* trash, there is a safeguard against such careless deleting. I believe that both Outlook Express and Netscape (and perhaps Eudora) have this minor safeguard.
