If you have backed up the messages by way of copying the messages.tbb files somewhere, you can move them back into your current TB directory while TB is closed. However, there was a message base change a couple of versions back, so it depends a bit on which version the backed-up files were created. Lastly, if your backups are message files, such as .msg or .eml, I would use TB's import function and just download them into the Inbox. You will need to create filters (unless you had also backed-up your filter file), so this is good testing material. > Seems to me there was a dialogue box that appears, one that I found > somewhat confusing when I last tried this. How are you trying to restore these messages, and what does the dialogue box say? -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
