I take it not accidentally deleted and residing in the trash folder? Or in the folder they disappeared from if not "compressed" since - check by selecting "browse deleted messages" from the folder menu.

I think in very early versions of TB! the mail was there. Since I discovered TB! at version 2.x the default has been %appdata%\The Bat!, which might even equate to %email%. For each mail folder you should find a messages.tbb and messages.tbi file (different extensions if you use OTFE). The TBB file is the message base and the TBI is the index > I use Carbonite as a backup for this computer so > presumably Carbonite has a copy of the missing messages I know nothing about carbonite but I would expect so if a backup was made when the messages were present, unless the backup was overwritten since they disappeared. > Assuming the location of the messages is known, can I > simply copy the messages from the Carbonite backup to > the same location on her C: drive? I would suggest renaming the message.tbb and .tbi files currently in the folder (in case you need to revert to them) and copying the ones from your backup into the folder, then firing up TB! and seeing what messages you have. -- Best regards, MFPA Is it possible to be a closet claustrophobic?
