I'll take you didn't delete the messages by yourself. Did you ever read them and did they go straight from download to trash, no stop at Inbox?

TB will download all mails into the Inbox first, from where they will be moved to the destination folder, if a filter applies. Moving means that it will be copied into that message.tbb file and makred "deleted" in the origin folder, in this case Inbox. That means, it is still in there but not displayed, until such time that you compress. Do you purge & compress on exit? If so, turn that off for now, at least the messages will still be there. >> Is the file messages.tbb still on her HD? SR> I think so. I did have her rebuild the index and also Browse Deleted SR> Messages. No luck with either. Copy the message.tbb (without the index file .tbi) to another dolder, and do this with a file manager while TB is closed. The messages from the destiantion folder will be overwritten, so maybe you want to rename that file to messages.tb2. Open TB and see whether the messages are in the folder that now has the copied message.tbb. If you don't see anything, try "browse deleted". SR> I wonder how many have reported this problem. I suspect a massive bug SR> related to the filter routines. It hasn't been reported as far as I know, and I think you have a stray filter. We'll get to that when we see whether my theory works. If you are not compressing, I'm on the wrong track. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. QUESTION: If a fire hydrant has H2O on the inside, what is on the outside?
