Hello Alto, There was a similar case on TBUDL once, I wrote this to him/her:
"This is what you have to do: - _copy_ (dont move) the PART0001.BIN to somewhere, just to have a backup - make a new folder in TB! - rename PART0001.BIN to PART0001.TBB - import the mails from PART0001.TBB using Tools, Import messages, TBB files. Enjoy your mails. (Move the mails wherever you want, organize them, etc.) These BIN files are created when TBB files are compressed, PART0001, PART0002, etc." Answers for your other question: > 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? Yes, corruption of Inbox message base occurred sometimes. Low system resources and/or Win shutdown TB! on exit before that would compress its mails when "Compress at exit" is checked. So, UNCHECK all of your Inboxes' "Compress on exit" options... After I suggested this to my users, NO ONE reported corrupted message base again. Somewhere in the v3.5.x series we were told that they found a bug in this part of the code. Hopefully, no more corruption will happen. > 2.) Is there any possibility short of disecting PART001.BIN using a > hex editor to salvage the messages that might still be in there? See above. > 3.) Is it possible to disable this warning message and subsequently > the repair function?

I know only one hardware "setting" :) for it: tell the users, if this happens DONT DO anything... -- Vili ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.36 | '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/
