This is the accoount directory, under that you have subdirectories named the same as the folders in your account. If you have not created any new folders, you will find only the standard folders Inbox, Send, Trash (maybe one or two others, I forgot). So, if you have not created any folders, go to the directory Inbox. Here you will find two files: messages.tbb and messages.tbi. It is the latter that you want to delete while TheBat is closed. Reopen TheBat and the index is recreated when you go to that folder in TheBat (may take a couple of seconds if there are a lot of messages in there). If you have created folders within TheBat and the error occurs when yoou try to open one of them, you will find a directory with the same name under your account directory. Delete the messages.tbi file in the appropriate subdirectory while TheBat is closed. Note: messages.tbb is your message base. If you delete that, you have deleted all your messages. messages.tbi is the index file. This is tthe file taht seems ot be correupted. If TheBat does not find an index file when the folder is opened, it will create one from scratch. This file contains the flags, such as "flagged", "deleted", "parked" and so on. Therefore, previously deleted messages will show up again, unless you compacted the folder after you had deleted them. -- Cheers, Thomas. Message reply created with The Bat!
