I went through the same experience you did and almost gave up until I came across a message in the old forums suggesting deleting those .tmp files. In my case the message I found was only obliquely related to my problem. I tried it any way and, like you, was thrilled that it worked.

There must be loads of beginners who have their mails in BH> another e-mail client and import them into the Bat. I suspect that many potential The Bat users have been lost due to this. Most people would likely just assume it's a bug in The Bat and move on to something out. Only a few would take the time and effort to search through forum/list archives trying to find a solution. -- Wayne ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
