Thanks Thomas! Worked like a charm. Thanks to everyone else as well! Backup (rename) the account.* files. Then create the accounts in TB and close TB. Now overwrite the newly created account.* files with the backups and reopen TB. Your Account / Properties setting should be fine from the backups. *Now* hit shft-crtl-alt-L.

In this thread however, it didn't help the user, because he had lost accounts, not lost folders. My mistake. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.

Hello Q179, I installed the latest trial version of TB on my PC and then copied over the new Mail folder with my old Mail folder (containing all my emails, accounts, etc.). But nothing happened? When I open TB I only see the one test account I had to set up when installing. Just create a new account for each old one, with exactly the same name. TB will pick up everything for that account from the corresponding folder. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
