Try copying (not moving) this file to another directory; if you're
successful, delete the original file, then move the copied file back.

If the copy isn't successful, it's likely that your disk is dying -
make a backup at OS level, and restore it to a new disk.

Before you started the Maintenance Center, did you recreate the index
file as per my suggestion? Could you access the messages?

Now you have an error in the message base. I don't know what the error
message means.

Is it the same folder?

This should be the file. Rather than deleting it, rename it (I would
rename into message.tbn_old, but that's only my system). This way, you
can still rename it back if I am wrong.

By the way, I don't know what all these .csdsig files are. I don't
have them, maybe someone else has an idea.

This is not the directory you want to look in. 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.

Backup with Errors

2020-05-01 Thread David Elliott
Hello Hive Mind,

I am having problems with my backup.
I was on the last of version 6 and I started getting these errors.
As I am moving to a new computer I thought I would first upgrade to the latest 
version, then transfer it across.

I have three folders in different accounts all giving these errors.
Problem is that I don't have a .TBI of a .EBI file.

Any idea what I can do so I can get a backup done?
