That is certainly odd. I'm sure I'd seen that before and it was the result of the uninstaller protecting the files, but it was a long time ago. > Do you know how many registry entries have "bat" in them?

The only ones you should worry about is the branch: \HKLM\Software\RIT Or it might be \HKCM\Software\RIT The rest of the registry keys that TB might alter can usually be reset by opening Outlook. > God, do I have a headache!

Which means you shouldn't have to copy anything from your local computer into an IMAP account. Providing the messages have been left on the server by the old IMAP implementation, it should just refetch them correctly. Unless I'm miss-understanding what you're attempting to do. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
