I can't believe it. I lost all the messages (over 1,000) in my inbox again. I am running Windows ME with The Bat 2.01.3.
I just finished installing Windows Media Player 9 and it said "Do you want to reboot now?" so I clicked OK. The Bat was open at the time and I had the "Compress all folders on exit" option selected. I saw The Bat begin compressing folders but I am not sure if it finished because I looked away. However, something went wrong because instead of restarting, my screen went black. After I hit the reset switch and Windows restarted, my inbox had 0 messages in it! This time the inbox doesn't seem to be corrupted because I can still receive new messages. C:\WINDOWS\TEMP is 99MB at the moment. The Folder Maintenance - Check Integrity/Repair says "nothing to do" with my inbox. -- Regards, Mike Frantz Mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------Original Message------------- From: Mike F <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Stefan Tanurkov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sunday, January 18, 2004, 5:19:18 AM Subject: inbox corrupted - Christmas Edition (reposted) Stefan, Sunday, January 18, 2004, 4:18:45 AM, you wrote: ST> The problem might be in your TEMP directory - the slowdown and the ST> directory's size (4 G) tells clearly about that.

The Folder Maintenance - Check Integrity/Repair function might have solved my problem if I had known about it. I have already reinstalled The Bat and recovered from a backup so it's too late now to fix it. I will remember this function if I run into this again. Thanks for your help. -- Regards, Mike F Mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.02.3 CE | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
