Hi Batters, Today one of my co-workers experienced something a little weird - well, it sounds weird to me...:
TB! v2.12.00 started (seemingly) normally this morning, then displayed the Folder Maintenance window - which ran by itself - and reported some corrupted folder, corrected this and went on. When done checking it reportted some corrections and possible lost mail. The user then reported to me by phone that she'd indeed lost last 3 months of mails; I had (and still have) no idea of what had gone wrong. On top of that, 2 Inboxes and 2 Sent mails were displayed with exactly the same contents but only one of each showed the normal folder (with blue or green arrow); sub-folder were displayed in the "additional" Inbox and Sent mail folder.... The only thing I could think of was to recreate the account tree, since I noticed the subfolders were still existing on the disk. Comparing the file ACCOUNT.FLB with other installations, this appeared unusually large, 400+ kB; as I know this file had something to do with the account and folder tree, I shut down TB, renamed these and started TB: a basic folder tree appeared. After recreating the missing subfolders (pointing to the folders on disk) she was back a work, but still without the missing mails. (As this is a remotely working laptop user, you might have already guessed no backup had been made for atleast 1/2 a year...) Now can someone pls shed some light on what possibly could have happened with the Maintenance function -as this started automatically, eventually tell me if this has happened to them before, and what is the best (better) remedy? -- Happy flappin'!
