Hallo z5worg, On Mon, 5 Sep 2005 01:35:55 -0400GMT (5-9-2005, 7:35 +0200, where I live), you wrote: Z I do not find a part0001.bin on my HD's subfolder1.

Create a new folder with TB Exit TB Copy the *.bin file to your new folder and rename it to messages.tbb (this means you'll have to delete the original messages.tbb and .tbi files and that's why you created a new=empty folder) Z Also, the messages listed against Subfolder1 is 4,920.

I don't know why these differences exist, but you can try two things: exit TB delete the messages.tbi files for the problem folders (the messages.tbi file contains the index for the folder, when the file is missing, TB creates a new one) start TB and check whether everything is as it should be. If it isn't right now. Create a new folder. Move all messages from one of your problem folders to your new folder Compress the problem folder and see if there are any messages left Continue to do so till it's empty. Exit TB Check whether the messages.tbb file for the problem folder is empty. (The messages.tbb file for an empty folder is 4 kB, the messages.tbi should be 17 kB) If it's not, check whether you can salvage something with a text editor and delete them afterwards. If it's empty, delete both files anyway. Start TB and move the messages back from the new folder to their original folder (to keep your filters from messing up) Compress the new folder. Now proceed with your next problem folder. -- Groetjes, Roelof No one can think clearly with clenched fists.

Folder Maintenance - Check Integrity/Repair
When I run that for all the Accounts/subfolders, there were 3 damaged folders. e.g. Subfolder1 Messages recovered: 4,926, damaged parts (part.bin), Saved:0 I do not find a part0001.bin on my HD's subfolder1. There is a part0001.bin in another subfolder from an earlier run of Folder Maintenance. What do I do with that file? Does it contain the damaged messages? How do I recover them? Also, the messages listed against Subfolder1 is 4,920. Where are the other 6 messages? There are similar differences in # of messages for the other 3 damaged folders. -- Thanks in advance JM Using The Bat! 2.12.04 Under Windows 98 4.10 Build A Current version is 3.60.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
