TBBETA & Keith,
:snip: No way could I get to a menu to disconnect from the server, nor
could I repair the database. :snip:
You have to click on the IMAP account, click on the <Account> -->
<IMAP Commands> -->, <Disconnect from Server> **before** you run folder
maintenance, otherwise TB! will interact with the server, possibly
trying to read/write to the very file it is trying to fix. If this
happens, it may corrupt the file even further or corrupt a previously
undamaged folder. After the folder maintenance is complete, you can go
back to <Accounts> --> <IMAP Commands> --> <Connect to Server>.
:snip: As soon as I started up the new version, I started getting the
error popups (this time for 0588F103.TBB). As before, I was asked
whether I wanted to repair the message base :snip:
I use IMAP (Fastmail) without problems. As long as you leave your
e-mails on the IMAP server as intended, you can right click on the
folder, Properties and clear the cache. I actually have the "Clear
cache on exit" checked for my high traffic folders and I make sure I
dump the cache and rebuild it at least every couple of days or so. An
e-mail program that utilizes a local cache for IMAP (POP too for that
matter) folders will always corrupt eventually with a high
population/high traffic folder due to file fragmentation. The only
thing that is corrupt is the local cache on the hard drive, not the
files sitting on the IMAP server (although it is possible). It is
always a good idea to break down your e-mail folders on the IMAP
server into smaller archive folders, grouping by year, month, whatever
works for you.
:snip: For all other folders, it said "Messages recovered: xxxxx, damaged
parts (part???.bin) saved:0". (Anybody know what this means?) :snip:
From TB's Help file:
"Damaged parts are saved into the folder's home directory with a .BIN
extension. Those files may contain parts of damaged messages, so you
can view them with any binary file viewer (you can find plenty of them
by searching the Internet, even the standard Notepad can be used) and
save any relevant information you can find."
