Hi all,

on a TheBat installation that I service all the mails in the INBOX
vanished at some time during the last days. (Of course, the user "did
nothing" at the time. ;-) )

When I looked at the directory there was a large (about 15 MB which
could very well be the size of the now gone messages) file named
PART001.BIN. I therefore assume that TheBat presented the error
message "base damaged, repair now?", the user clicked on Yes and
TheBat reconstructed the folder while dumping the messages not back
into it but only leaving it in this file.

So:

1.) The used version of TheBat is v3.0.1.33. Are such occurences
(mailbase disruption without aparent reason, repair of folder by
deleting messages) known in this version, and if so, has this
behaviour been improved up until the current v3.5?

2.) Is there any possibility short of disecting PART001.BIN using a
hex editor to salvage the messages that might still be in there?

3.) Is it possible to disable this warning message and subsequently
the repair function? I'd much rather have TheBat just quit until I can
come by and have a look on the case then allow the user to perform an
action with uncertain results.

Any advice would be much apreciated.
