You happened upon one of TB!'s problems. I'd suggest that you only do basic folder creation and moving folders up and down the list. Do not make one folder a sub-folder of another or the reverse. This leads to the effect you described. > I was able to recover from the mess by renaming account.flb.

For you to browse a folder, TB! needs to build a local cache of the message list. Mulberry doesn't have to do this, hence the difference. If you tell Mulberry to do what TB! needs to do, it will take longer than TB! does. Mulberry does far less for you to work. It's extremely efficient. OTOH, TB! is faster at retrieving the data than Mulberry. It's just that TB! retrieves so much information in order to get going. -- -= Curtis =- The Bat! v3.61.11 Echo (Beta) / http://specs.aimlink.name PGPKey: http://rsakey.aimlink.name ...The world is a cynic's playground.
