Re[2]: Repair Message Base doesn't work
DS Any ideas on how to repair this folder's message base? The TBB file DS is 528k, but I haven't put any limits on the number of messages that DS can be stored in this folder... nor have I ever purged it.

Hello Sergey, SK On Tue, 8 Jun 2004 11:18:07 -0700 you [DS] typed: SK You didn't specify whether you had an IMAP or local folder damaged. If SK it's an IMAP folder, deleting the .tbb file will not harm your SK messages since they are kept on the server. snip SK Once again, this is not going to work for any of your local folders. SK Please, make sure that the damaged folder is an IMAP one. Unfortunately, it's a local folder. Do you have any ideas on how to recover the messages from a local folder? Thanks!

This likely means that the .tbb file is badly AM corrupted. Is the .tbb file of the size you'd expect considering the AM number of messages in it. Yes, it is. The .TBB file is 528k and the inbox shows all the messages as being in there. However, if I click on any of those messages I get the error message that the message base needs to be repaired. Repairing it, though, doesn't make a difference -- I still can't access the messages. Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

I wouldn't want to delete SK the .tbb file for a local folder, though. Thanks, Sergey. When I delete the .tbb file, though, won't I lose all the emails? I need to be able to access the messages. Should I copy the contents of the .tbb file into a new file and rename it messages.tbb or is there some sort of import procedure for recovering those emails? In other words, how did you remove the .tbb file and then recover the message base? Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
