I have just attempted another backup, this time disabling (in the 'What to backup' menu) Attachment Files - it worked ! What is extremely curious however, is the strange behavior, which greys out 'Maintenance' in the Folder menu, whenever I highlight the name of a given account e.g. Main Identity. But, when I highlight individual folders e.g. 'Inbox' 'Sent' etc 'Maintenance' is suddenly accessible. -- Maurice ------------------------------------------------------------ Using The Bat! 3.5.30 under Windows XP Home SP2, 1 Go Ram ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.51 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
