Try to import the messages from your > moved messages.tbb file. i tried the above steps multiple times but TB backup pops up the same error message as it processes that inbox each and every time. lacking any ideas of my own, my next step is to let the backup continue and do a test restore to determine what, if anything, is wrong with the restored messages. apart from keeping a safe copy of the messages.tbb file to import from if necessary, i don't know what else to try. thanks/regards, .. mark davidson -- Current version is 3.95.08 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Check whether all messages have really been copied, if so delete all messages in the faulty folder and compress it. That ought to to take care of things.

backup error - corrupt index or ... ?
i'm seeing an error during backup ... same inbox every time. TB pops up a message indicating it might be a problem with the index with an instruction to delete the index and reload TB to recreate the index. i did this several times without success ... the error repeats on every backup. i don't know if it's related but this particular inbox compresses every time i close TB ... even when no mail was received. this does not occur with any of my other accounts. i'm currently running 3.96.04 beta. does anyone have a thought as to what the problem might be and how to fix it? thanks/regards, .. mark davidson -- Current version is 3.95.08 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
