This worked. There was a nasty message in each of 2 accounts.
Manually rebuilding as you described earlier fixed them.

Thanks for the idea.

Can't repair Inbox

2005-01-11 Thread Scott Frederick
Hello TBUDL,

After downloading messages this morning I can't access my inbox. I
get an error message An error occurred ... blah blah. Do you
want to repair the message base now?

When I do Folder Maintenance - Check Integrity/Repair. The process
stalls at just over 75%.

The messages that I downloaded didn't show up in the Inbox and
when I download new messages the same ones download again, but
don't show up.

How can I fix this?

Close The Bat!
In your data directory, move the .TBI file for your Inbox somewhere
else.
Restart The Bat!

This will force The Bat! to rebuild your index from scratch, hopefully
fixing your problem.

You can try using dispatch mail on the server to delete the
problematic mail...

Can't repair Inbox

2005-01-11 Thread Scott Frederick
Hello TBUDL,

I have deleted the .tbi file (after backing up) it has been
rebuilt.

I can read the contents of the folder now and open messages but I
still can't download into this account. The messages are
downloading but not appearing in the inbox or being filtered into
any sub folders.

A second account has now developed the same problem.

I am reading replies to my posts on the TBUDL archive.

I can still post normally.

It happened to me once that deleting the .tbi file alone did not help, the
messagebase itself was corrupted and had a hole - one entry in the
message list was without any subject or other information.

I fixed it by manually re-building the messagebase:

- turn off threading (ALT+0)
- mark all existing messages (CTRL+A)
  (*except* a possible hole as described above, of course)
- export them to a unix mailbox (menu Tools | Export ... | Unix... )
- quit the program
- go to the data directory of the inbox
- *move* the .tbb file (the actual messagebase) away to a safe place
  (just in case you need it again ...you never know)
- delete the .tbi file (the directory should be empty now)
- restart TheBat (Inbox will be empty)
- import the messages from the unix mailbox again
  (menu Tools | Import... | Unix...)

Maybe it helps.

 A second account has now developed the same problem.

Hmmm. Are you running any plugins, or have you recently installed/changed a
program like a Virus scanner or a Firewall that could interfere with TB's
normal operation?
