When I deleted DS the .TBI file and restarted TB again, the messages don't even show up DS as being there. This is likely an irretrievable situation through graceful means since TB! would normally read the .tbb file and rebuild the tbi (index file) from the .tbb file. This likely means that the .tbb file is badly corrupted. Is the .tbb file of the size you'd expect considering the number of messages in it. It's at these times that a backup would help one out. -- -= Allie =- | List Moderator and fellow End-User PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com TB! v2.11.03 ยท WinXP Pro SP1 pgpzmRm3BvOUI.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello DW, On Tue, 8 Jun 2004 11:18:07 -0700 you [DS] typed: DS When I delete the .tbb file, though, won't I lose all the emails? You didn't specify whether you had an IMAP or local folder damaged. If it's an IMAP folder, deleting the .tbb file will not harm your messages since they are kept on the server. DS In other words, how did you remove the .tbb file and then recover DS the message base? I highlighted the file in windows explorer and hit Delete. Then I restarted The Bat! and downloaded all messages from the server. The deleted .tbb file stayed in Recycle Bin unless I had all messages recovered (downloaded). Once again, this is not going to work for any of your local folders. Please, make sure that the damaged folder is an IMAP one.
