Hello, I am also experiencing similar symptoms with corrupted folders in Voyager, and indeed always did have this problem - while very impressed with the Voyager concept. Corruption is random so difficult to establish any pattern. I have tried different USB sticks and always found Corsairs "Flash Voyager GT" the best, with 100% data integrity - but still corruption of EMail folders, so the problem is NOT with the USB stick - unless the problem may be related to the flushing of cache.
I was advised to keep the Inbox as small as possible and while this improved matters it is not a 100% cure. Without the option to drop encryption, the recovery of folders is almost impossible. One utility of great use would be an automated synchronising tool to allow Voyager users to synchronize with The Bat on their home/office PC. This would have the additional benefit of allowing partial recover of corrupted folders on the USB stick. The Voyager concept is brilliant - keep up the good work and let's see it improve, especially the integrity of folders.

I'm afraid I can't really help with the questions but I can state I have lived through this also. It seems once a folder gets corrupted somehow it's lights out and there's no fixing it. I had to finally just delete the folders that were giving me problems and start over with them. I spent days fooling with them and in the end I lost messages. Backups didn't help as every time I restored a backup I just got the corrupted folders back. I never mentioned it here as I have no idea what causes them to go bad. If it was repeatable I'd have hoisted a flag, but since it just happens out of the blue it's hard to report a specific problem. Although, it is at times like this that I wish encryption with Voyager was optional. -- ò.ó Nick Danger [MUA: TB!
