I just put in my new harddrive and transferred my mail directory from OS drive back to the new drive using this procedure. Very easy and everything is in its place. Just wondering now the "left-over" files on my OS drive being - smimernd.bin -FolderTabs.cdb -thebat_Exceptions.log do I need to keep them or are they now redundant? They are small, so not relevant for storage or taking up space, just prefer a clean look if they are not relevant anymore. -- Tom using TheBat! 4.2.33.9 on XP Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Yes, when you change directories within TB!, the whole mail file will be moved to the new directory. I've done that in the past, and I think it's a good thing. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 7.3.12.7 (BETA) under Windows 10.0 Build 14393 Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

You can save out any new messages and import them to the new location. If you are taking it into the shop,just copy the data folder to your OS drive and put it back when you get the drive situation figured out -- Rick We have no reason to ask when sorrow comes,"Why did this happen to me?"unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way Current version is 7.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
