Maybe. How do you create a new folder that points to that location? It was too late to try anything you suggested last night so this morning I created a new folder called Experimental and closed TB. Then using Windows Explorer I moved (not copied) the MESSAGES.TBB file from the faux inbox to the new Experimental folder where of course TB had already created a new MESSAGES.TBB file. I told WE to replace the existing with the one I was moving over which it did. Restarting TB showed no messages in the new Experimental folder. So, closing TB and using WE again I put the MESSAGES.TBB file back where it was in the faux inbox and restarted TB. As expected, still no messages in the faux inbox. I then deleted the Experimental folder. -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.

Hi Jack, do not create the folder with TB!. Instead create the folder and copy the messages.tbb into that folder. Now use the shortcut. -- Cheers, Raymund pgpJs5JSy_0Rx.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi Jack, RT do not create the folder with TB!. Instead create the folder and copy RT the messages.tbb into that folder. Now use the shortcut. Forgive me for being so obtuse but can you expand your instructions a little? The point is that if you create the folder in TB the shortcut ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+L won't work as the folder isn't lost. So create a folder, put the messages.tbb in there, hit the keys and TB! should find that said folder and show its messages. You can than copy the messages around as needed and get rid of the extra folder afterwards. -- Best regards, Raymund Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Jack, On Thu, 8 Aug 2013 16:43:29 -0500 GMT (09-Aug-13, 04:43 +0700 GMT), Jack S. LaRosa wrote: Well, now I've gone and done it. In an effort to fix the problem described in Scary message, I located the Faux inbox messages here: (C:\Users\her first name\AppData\Roaming\The Bat!\her full name\Faux inbox) and proceeded to rename the file MESSAGES.TBB to xMESSAGES.TBB so TB! couldn't find it. I then restarted TB! and it showed the original number of messages supposedly contained in the Faux inbox but no messages showed up in the viewing pane. I then shut down TB! again and restarted it. Now it comes up with zero messages in the Faux inbox and still no actual messages appear.. I renamed the xMESSAGE.TBB file back to MESSAGES.TBB and again restarted TB! (more than once). It still shows zero messages and of course, no messages show up in the viewing pane. Is there any way to get TB! to recognize that there are messages which should be appearing in the message count and in the viewing pane? Instead of renaming messages.tbb, try renaming messages.tbn (the index file). Make sure TB is closed when you to that. When you reopen TB, a new index file will be created. Maybe that helps. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 5.4 under Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

(I think it is really for use when TB! is not even seeing the folder, although creating a new folder (in TB!) pointing to the same location solves that situatioon, too.) How do you create a new folder that points to that location? In the create a new folder dialogue, select additional and browse to it. It was too late to try anything you suggested last night They were just stabs in the dark that I might try under similar circumstances. -- Best regards MFPAmailto:expires2...@ymail.com We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars Using The Bat! v4.0.38 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
