 I am not sure whether you did the following after creating the temp
 folder from within TB:

 Close TB
 Delete messages.tbb and messages.tbi
 Rename part0001.bin to messages.tbb and put it into that directory
 Open TB

Yes, this is what I did.


 If this is what you did and you still get the error, the message file
 is really damaged. Somebody with a hex editor might be able to take a
 look.

zzc Does this mean that the old part001.bin is useless, and messages
zzc can not be recovered?

 Not yet. Let's open that file with a screwdriver first and have a look
 inside.

It is mostly text.  So I copy and paste it into a new file.  There are 2
message.  So I manually clean it up and save the as 2 *.msg files.

Z I  do not find a part0001.bin on my HD's subfolder1.  There is a
Z part0001.bin in another subfolder from an earlier run of Folder
Z Maintenance.  What do I do with that file?  Does it contain the damaged
Z messages?  How do I recover them?

 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)

I created a Temp folder; and follow the instructions above.  When I
re-open TB, the Temp folder shows 0 messages.  Then I check the
integrity of the Temp folder.  The result is Messages Recovered:0,
Damaged Parts (part0001.bin), Saved:1.

However, the Temp folder still shows 0 messages.  When I look in my hard
drive, the new part001.bin is smaller than the previous part001.bin; and
the messages.tbb and *.tbi in Temp folder indicate an empty folder.

Does this mean that the old part001.bin is useless, and messages can not
be recovered?


Z Also, the messages listed against Subfolder1 is 4,920. Where are the
Z other 6 messages? There are similar differences in # of messages for the
Z other 3 damaged folders.

 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
 

This doesn't work.

 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
 . 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.

This works in that the Integrity check shows the smaller message
numbers.

Separately, after I ran the Integrity check today, some row labels are
missing on the Results section on the bottom.

On the bottom Left   On the bottom Right
   Duplicate found: 0 172
   Messages purged: 0   3
   Disk space saved  8447

When I ran the Integrity check the day before, I remembered that there
were row labels for the numbers on the bottom Right. Why am I missing
those row labels? And how can I get them back on the Results page again?
