Hi Ming-Li,

This is very far from easy with SecureBat! because the folder names
are encoded and the mailbases are encrypted. You've got to do some
real work to find out where a particular folder is stored.

They moved just fine in real time. I later had to shut down and
restart the system (it may be Win2k, but it's still Windows and we all
know what that means for up-time cycles). It was on reload that the
folders turned up missing.
One thing I'm not 100% clear on is whether or not it was an orderly
shut-down or an OS crash needing a power cycle to get out of. I
*think* it was the former but, if it was the latter, then I'm not
completely surprised at the memory lapse on reboot. Many options and
changes aren't fully committed until TB is exited and restarted.
I'm not in a hurry to try it again because the damage is much more
severe in SecureBat! than in TB! And, with backup broken, there's no
way back.
