Hello there. Although I am a very happy user of The Bat! it annoys me that sometimes the program, without me doing anything, somehow messes up with my mail folder..... not very often a few times a year..... It did so yesterday also. My mail folder is divided into many sections with many of the received mails being put into different sub-folders. But there is still a lot just staying in the root of the INBOX folder. The problems is that now I can't read the messages in the root of the INBOX folder. That is.. all the messages being directed to different sub-dirs are perfectly readable but the messages in the INBOX root doesn't show up anymore. Neither the old ones nor newly received ones. If I am in the INBOX root window when receiving them I can read the new ones, but as soon as go to another window they disappear. Also The Bat crashes when I try to close it. I have made a reinstall of my system (WinXP with and without SP1) but the problems didn't disappear. Substituting the configuration files from an older backup didn't solve the problem. Only taking the old "messages.tbb" and "messges.tbi" solved the problem, but now I miss some of the files in the newer message files. So my conclusion to this is that some mail inside the "broken" message files, makes The Bat go crazy. Does anybody know how to solve this or how to repair the broken messges files????????
I ones had a similar problem with a mail being received which stopped the program from download further messages, and this was solved by deleting the bad mail from the server with the "dispatch mail on server" feature. I wonder if there is some similar feature with this problem. Thanks in advance Peter Olsenm ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
