OK Roelof, thanks for the help. I tried your suggestions. Here's the result. I created a new folder, exited TB and moved the .tbb and tbi files to the new folder. Restarted TB. I am now in the process of fetching the new mail. It is running very, very slow. It seems to be sorting the new files into the proper folders. I will report back on progress.
Now how do I recover the files in the old Inbox? Earlier today I got an error message after fetching new mail. "Could not store message/filename C:\DOCUM~1\Owner\LOCALS~\Temp\batDC.tmp" I looked in that location and found over 600 bat*.tmp files. I deleted all of them plus some other tmp files I found as well. I tried to manually compress the Inbox but the program hung up. When I try to exit the program it also hangs. All other accounts work fine. -- Al Jacobus Using TheBat! v1.62r on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.11.02 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
