I see.

MH> Question: how would I re-index a folder that shows 0 messages?

If there *are* zero messages then no index is needed. If there *should
not* be zero messages then the message base needs repairing.

I have a copy of the MBREPAIR tool but, in the (nearly) two years that
I have been a TB user, I have never had to use it once.

MH> It  sounds  right  to  me,  be mayby there is a difference between
MH> re-indexing  and  re-building  an index, and what we/I really have
MH> been talking about is "re-building."

What is rebuilt by MBRepair is the folder message base. TB is the only
indexer for the folders.

Cheers,
Marck
