I'd bet they are, and that they remain there until you run a compress operation on it. Remember that TB! uses two files for each mailbox, the .tbi file that is for the message list and the .tbb file that is for the actual message bodies. > Oh yes.

If you have a fast connection, you certainly don't need it, since you're likely on a broadband connection. If you have a slow connection and think you need full synchronisation, then it's still a problem unless you're willing to leave TB! synchronising for an hour or so before going back to read some mail. >> I agree that it's not really right, but that's how it works now. >> Expunging on the server using another client or tool, doesn't mean that >> TB! will update its cache on a restart.

Fast or slow one? Synching the message list doesn't mean that the message base is sync'd. -- -= Allie Martin =- The Bat!� v3.5.24 System Specs: http://www.landscreek.net/sysspecs.htm -=-=- One way to better your lot is to do a lot better... ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.24 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
