Somehow, it just seemed safer to do it the way I eventually did. Better safe than sorry, I agree. that's why I always "rename" when someone suggests "delete". ;-) TF>> Yeah, just delete them.

TB! downloads the messages individually from the server into .tmp files and then imports them into the messages.tbb file. Once they are in the messages.tbb, the .tmp should be deleted. Sometimes they are not - but since you said all messages are there now, the .tmp files are indeed no longer needed. -- Cheers, Thomas. http://thomas.fernandez.hat-gar-keine-homepage.de/ Message reply created with The Bat! 5.4 under Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 5.2.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
