It was a little more complex than that as I was not storing the mail data in the default location. Historically it was stored in the MAIL subfolder. What I had to do was - delete the entire on mangled mail folder on drive F - Map a drive G over drive F - do the restore as previously - close TB- at this point all the files and mail are back - *delete* several of the registry settings which TB was expecting for paths (e. g. exe path, working directory etc - restart TB - its now confused where its data is, so it prompts me - specify a user defined location on drive F:\thebat\mail - go to each account properties and CLEAR back to the default entry all the folder properties - close TB - search the registry as you indicated for G: and replace by F: - SEARCH on f:\thebat\*.* for any file containing G: and then edit it (e.g. addrebook.ini) - unmap drive G - restart TB! .. it worked! .. run a backup immediately!!!!! So many thanks for getting me started on this. I really hope RIT fixup this bug ASAP On the other hand - my ISP mail server has been down for 2 days now. Clearly I'm doomed not to get access to my mail at the moment! -- Regards Graham ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.70.07 "Qigong" | '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/
