> Have you tried importing the messages from the TBB files? Tools/Import Just out of curiosity I tried it, went back to v5 and chose Tools/Import/TBB: The messages get read, it says "2913 mails imported" or so, but they appear nowhere. It does not even ask me which folder I want to store them to,

Unfortunately I have no idea what naming structure these files have, as there are several files and the only indicator I have is their size. No idea which ones are new or old, and if new cache files even got created when TB wasn't able to connect to the server. On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 4:34 PM, Dwi

Hi Tony, I know very well how IMAP works :-) However, the server couldn't tell TheBat that the messages were deleted, because access to the server was denied the minute my account got deactivated. The scenario you describe would happen if the account was still active, but the folder contents were
