TH .BCK (old) TH .BK0 (old) TH .BK1 (old) TH .BK2 (old) TH .IB0 TH .IB1 TH .IB2 TH .IBK These are back-up files created when there is a problem during folder maintainance. You can try to retrieve some lost message which are now not in the .TBB folder. I have never succeeded, but that's the idea. If you are not missing any mails, you can safely delete these backup files. If you don't, the next ones will be called .BK3 and .IB3 accordingly. Otherwise, they'll start at .BCK (backup for .TBB files) and .IBK (backup for .TBI files) again.

The Bat! cache and message files
Hello Tbbeta, My mail directory has grown huge over the period of using TB. I've examined some the files and the have messages in them. When I search for the messages I find them in .TBB files. I seems the the .EBB files are redundant as they have not been touched for up to three years. The same goes for some .TBB file that have messages that TB! find in another .TBB Could someone please explain all the files in the mail directory? .BCK (old) .BK0 (old) .BK1 (old) .BK2 (old) .EBB (old) .EBN (old) .IB0 .IB1 .IB2 .IBK .TBB (it seems more that the number of folders) .TBI .TBN Does anyone know if there's a cleanup program or is there any way to find out which files are still used by TB! Thanks -- Best regards, Tony mailto:t...@parkinch.co.uk The Bat! 5.0.34.2 Current beta is 5.0.34.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: The Bat! cache and message files
Hello Roelof, Create a backup with TB Empty your mail directory Restore your backup TB won't backup files it doesn't need However, just to be sure, the safest way to empty your mail directory is by renaming it and create a new empty mail directory with the original name. I did that and saved about 7GB of files! All was not perfect. There seem to be some issues with the cache(?) files being restored. For every folder and message it get theses exceptions until I clear the cache and after it reloads, thing are OK again.
