Sounds right - the folder is not lost, it is big enough to have many msgs, and it is a file on the disk, in the right place. Not lost, but only showing one msg (now two :-). Any other ideas? It would seem that all the msgs were marked as deleted. I can see them by viewing the file directly, but they don't show up in TB. Is there an UNDELETE command to restore deleted msgs in a folder? That might fix it, but I'd have to see what's really there to make sure.

ML E.g., in your TBUDL folder (if you have one), find a message by ML yourself, and click on your own name while holding down the Alt key, ML then TB would show only messages from you. This is one of my ML favorite feature about TB. ML To undo it, just hit ESC or "Ctrl =". Hey - that's nice! Just tried it. But that does not seem to be the problem in that folder.

Re[2]: Missing Folder
Hi Keith, on Wednesday, December 22, 1999, 12:36:18 AM GMT+0800, Keith Russell wrote: KR Thanks to everyone for your responses. My Pilot folder does not KR exist--at least under that name--in my TheBat! directory. Is it KR possible that it could have somehow been renamed? I don't think so. I'd rather think they have been "somehow" deleted. Does your Windows "Find File" find anything? Did you check the "Recycled" directory? KR It has been suggested that if a Pilot directory exists, I just create KR a new one from within The Bat! and the messages will automatically be KR found and imported. How is this possible? Doesn't make sense to me. If the directory doesn't exist on the HD, how can TB find the messages? I did, however, noticed that I suddenly have files called "foldername." (for example: tbudl. - no file extension) in my My Documents directory. They contain all messages, with headers, that were in a folder on 6 December, for some reason. They are in plain text. I don't know how they ended up there, but maybe you want to take a look for a file "Pilot." on your PC (if that was the name of the folder). KR Two questions naturally arise: KR 1. What could have happened to cause a single folder to disappear like KR this? No idea. Never happened to me. KR 2. Where are all the messages from my Pilot mailing list going? The KR filter says to send them to the Pilot folder, and they're not showing KR up in the Inbox Good question. Try to send yourself a message that would quilify for that filter, and then "search" for it. I would also recommend to either disable this filter or create a folder Pilot (or Pilot2) now, in order for you to not lose any more messages. ;-) -- Best regards, Thomas.
