What happens if you just create a new Folder Y from within TB! (and make sure it points to the same path as the old one if not using default as the directory path for all folders)? The newly re-created Folder Y should contain the existing messagebase, although I can't remember if you need to close and re-start TB! for it to find it. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that and got this message: The directory specified seems to be already used by another folder. Do you still want to use this directory?. I expect that's okay but I wanted to make sure TB! wasn't going to blow away what's there. Should I say yes?
