Thanks for all those details on the other two approaches - I've color coded that message and parked it - just in case. Deleting both the ACCOUNT.SRB and ACCOUNT.SRX from the Mail folder appears to have solved the problem. Thanks again! I'm still getting a pair of errors, that were part of more errors, that I've been getting at startup in my thebat_Exceiption.log since the power outage. I'll start a separate thread on those messages. -- Best regards, Bill TB!

Hallo Bill, On Tue, 1 Jul 2008 15:11:31 -0500GMT (1-7-2008, 22:11 +0200, where I live), you wrote: BM Note that all the high level filters (except Incoming mail) are BM repeated in Incoming mail along with Moving In Hooks and there are BM not in there normal sorted order. You wouldn't happen to have a real backup would you? I don't mean one created by TB (as those don't allow only restoring the sorting offic), but a backup created with the explorer or something like winrar that allows for retrieving individual files. If so, copy and paste your new filters to a text editor (one at a time) if your mutilated sorting office still allows that. Close TB.

Power Outage Destroyed Operation of Common Filters
Hello TB User Discussion List, Sunday, I added several new sorting office incoming filters to my usual account. I failed to shut down TB after doing this and just left my computer in Stand By mode over night. We had a power outage Monday while my computer was on (it lasted longer than the battery). When I restarted, every seemed fine until I tried a Read messages filter from the Common Filters account. Ctrl-Shift-X, which normally deletes a message both locally and on the server, didn't work. When I checked my sorting office, I noticed that the new (added Sunday) incoming filters filters were missing! I then checked the Common Filters - there were my new filters from my account. I moved them, one at a time, from the Common Filters to my account. I had to close and open TB each time or I received an unrecoverable error message and had to shut down TB with Task Manager. Now my Common Filters have this odd structure. I've rebooted WinXP to no avail. Incoming mail Outgoing mail Moving In Hooks Selective Download Read messages Replied messages Outgoing mail Read messages Replied messages Selective Download Note that all the high level filters (except Incoming mail) are repeated in Incoming mail along with Moving In Hooks and there are not in there normal sorted order. I can add, say, a Read messages filter to Common Filters - but it doesn't work. How can I fix my Common Filters so they work again? Thanks for listening. -- Best regards, Bill TB!
