Delete the "E-Mail Foldersddcdb" (without the quotes) file found in the KeyList folder of the Flash Disk. This file is the one which is corrupted, and it contains the database records of the e-mail database only. It's a "hidden" file, so, 1) erase it from the File Manager, as this is the only place where the "List of All, including Hidden" files is presented, and 2) have to press [SPACE with X], [READ with X] at the "List of all files in 'KeyList' folder" view (presented by default as the first view of the File Manager, with the other choice being the Hidden Files view) once to reach the Hidden Files view, where you will see the file you need to delete. Then, after this file is deleted, go into KeyMail, and select the option to Write an E-Mail. You will get a prompt about the database not existing, and the BN will ask whether to create an associated database. Press Y for "Yes", and a blank database will be created. You may have to re-create their customized folders, depending on definition files used. Speaking of definition files, make sure you have a file called "E-Mail Foldersddklt" (without the quotes, and you won't see the extension when viewing the file on the BN, although the extension means KeyList Text) in the KeyMail folder of the Flash Disk. This is the file which governs how the database is displayed. Make sure it's there before deleting the database file. If it's not, COPY (don't move) it from the stKeySoftstKeyMail directory of the KeySoft System Disk (where it is burned, along with the other definition files of databases factory installed on the BN (not customized databases the user creates, of course), software, and the OS, into ROM) to the KeyMail folder of the Flash Disk. Make sure the definition file is there before deleting the file. The definition file in the KS Disk only contains the seven internal, factory-installed KeyMail folders, while the one in the Flas! h Disk contains those created by the user as well. If using the definition file on the Flash Disk, you most likely won't, but if copying of the file from the KS Disk is necessary, then yes, the customized folders will have to be re-created (by typing a nonexistent folder at any prompt involving a folder in KeyMail, such as the "Move to which folder?" prompt, and typing Y for "Yes" at the prompt to confirm the folder's creation). I'm assuming the definition file will be in the Flash Disk (you only need to view the "List of all files" to see this oneggddb
