P Hi all,

P I have a friend who downloaded TB today, thinking to replace his NS 4.7.
P Only thing is he has over 60,000 messages in Netscape that he tried to
P import into TB. He said the import seemed to work, but TB locked up and
P locks up every time he tries to open it. Does anyone have near or more
P than this number of messages stored in TB? If TB can handle, is it
P likely to be able to handle an import of that many messages?

I don't see why it wouldn't. I tend to delete messages when I have
over 6000-7000, but it will import easily import that many, at least
from other clients.

P He also says that he has no uninstall option in Add/Remove Programs and
P that there is not uninstall file. I saw a couple people complained of
P the same on the cNet downloads.com reviews. What's with that?

He may have had a bum installation. In the earlier versions, this was
one of my complaints. However, the version I uninstalled to install
153bis had an undel in the folder that even offered the option to
delete the reg entries. The 153bis doesn't seem to have an undel in
its folder, but it does make an entry in my windows add/remove control
panel option.

I believe to do a good uninstallation you just need to pitch the TB!
folder and delete the reg entries. They're all in one folder, I
believe. I'd try a new installation of the bat and see if things don't
work out better.

Regards,

Ben

Hello Listers,

 I  actually  store  15267 messages. Last week, I put all of them in a
 folder  in  order to refilter. TB did what you describe. So I restore
 from copy.
 I think TB has no limit in message number, but in message per folder.
 Its  not exactly a TB limit. IMO is a system limit.
 Your  friend  could  try  to  create  filters  to  sort messages into
 folders, and then import.
