Hi, I disagree. The decision was a good one and made during the development phase of TB! v5 to avoid corruption of the database of a v4 running on the same database. Yes, during DEVELOPMENT (alpha/beta cycle) this may make sense, but not for a release product and not to leave these files

Hi carsten, just short as i am mobile. Try the 'magic' key combination shift-ctrl-alt+L : this is to get back lost foldeers. I had to do this on an archieve account i did under v4. Let us know how it worked - good luck. -- Eddie (on the move) -original message- Subject: lost messages of old

Hello Carsten, How can I access these messages? And what is this, that they stay on the hard drive but are not shown in TB v5? I hope this isn't true for you but, with IMAP, TB! only has a cache of the messages on the server because the server has the 'master' copy. This is unlike POP3

Hi Tony, I know very well how IMAP works :-) However, the server couldn't tell TheBat that the messages were deleted, because access to the server was denied the minute my account got deactivated. The scenario you describe would happen if the account was still active, but the folder contents

Unfortunately I have no idea what naming structure these files have, as there are several files and the only indicator I have is their size. No idea which ones are new or old, and if new cache files even got created when TB wasn't able to connect to the server. On Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 4:34 PM,

Have you tried importing the messages from the TBB files? Tools/Import Just out of curiosity I tried it, went back to v5 and chose Tools/Import/TBB: The messages get read, it says 2913 mails imported or so, but they appear nowhere. It does not even ask me which folder I want to store them to,
