I use the flag the same way as you: Messages that still need to be replied to get flagged, and a virtual folder keeps track. However, I have to unflag them manually.

Re: Inbox damaged after folder maintenance (3.99.3 OTFE )
Hello Charlene, Wednesday, May 2, 2007, 7:58:47 PM, you wrote: Good evening list members, a dear friend of mine has encountered a strange problem and she can't get rid of it: Performing a folder check in folder maintenance center will repeatedly cause a damaged inbox folder with a loss of all emails in it, including all subfolders of Inbox. Strange that no other folder is affected. She runs 3.99.3 on OTFE under Win MCE -as I do, too. She can't get back her emails and is rather disappointed about The Bat due to the circumstance of being forced to do a folder maintenance from time to time and the lack of reliance in the MUA itself. Losing mails is really a severe issue and I would want to help her if only I could. Can anybody be helpful in that concern please? Well, I've been warned that my inbox needs to be kept smaller, but what you describe is a perpetual problem that I face! I totally dread running maintenance because **every** time it finds an error it says something like 137 messages recovered, which, it turns out is slang for I have just deleted your entire folder. Sure, it creates misc. files in the folder that contain encrypted garbage, but my files are history. What irks me is that the messages are all there and readable by the bat interface just before running maintenance. In fact, I now often copy all the messages from one folder to a temporary folder before running maintenance, because the risk is so high that I will actually loose them all. I **think** that this problem began only when I started using Voyager, from the first release onward. I suspect that the maintenance program is very bad at handling encrypted message bases, since this is the default for Voyager. -- Dougmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** TheBat!

Re: Inbox damaged after folder maintenance (3.99.3 OTFE )
Hi Doug Higby, Thursday, May 3, 2007 you let us know -possibly edited- : Well, I've been warned that my inbox needs to be kept smaller, but what you describe is a perpetual problem that I face! I totally dread running maintenance because **every** time it finds an error it says something like 137 messages recovered, which, it turns out is slang for I have just deleted your entire folder. Sure, it creates misc. files in the folder that contain encrypted garbage, but my files are history. My girlfriend reports similar observations: TB affirms to have found damaged folders that previously were just fine to navigate thru. After a maintenance run all mails in that parent folder and all subfolders are lost, despite TB keeps on pretending having corrected something. I **think** that this problem began only when I started using Voyager, from the first release onward. I suspect that the maintenance program is very bad at handling encrypted message bases, since this is the default for Voyager. She runs OTFE but no Voyager, so ... maybe you're right. -- kind regards Charlene Ferrara mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.99.3 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Skype: charleneferrara Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Addressbook query
Hello Everyone, I recently created a new Addressbook containing the addresses of all incoming emails. This worked fine as I then set up a filter to show incoming mails from existing contacts in a special folder. Today I intended to add a further folder for important or suspicious contacts based on a further addressbook that should contain email addresses for monitoring. I created the new address book and then noticed that my previous address book containing all emails is empty. The default personal addressbook including its groups still exists. Looking at the file size of the lost addressbook in the application folder it may indeed by empty as it has the same size as the new AB I created this morning. Is there any easy way to repopulate this AB (basically all email addresses contained in one folder) and any idea what I did wrong (so I will avoid this in future?) -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 3.98.4 on XP Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

another Addressbook and filter question
Hello Everyone, still working on an issue regarding filtering addresses. I have about 1000 emails in one folder (a subfolder) and would like to add all sender's addresses to a Adressbook (subdirectory in Personal Addressbooks). I tried to set up a manual filter and used refilter but I seem to be missing something. Nothing gets exported on the existing emails. How should I best tackle this? -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 3.98.4 on XP Current version is 3.99 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
