Do you know where your mail folders are. If they're in the default
location, look in the TB! installation directory in the Mail subdirectory.
Each account has it's own folder with each folder in the account being
represented by its own explorer folder. Open the folder that's causing the
error (i.e., the folder that TB! is opening upon startup) and move the
messages.tbb and messages.tbi files to another location. TB! should now
restart but the folder with the corrupted message base will be empty.
As to recovering the message base if TB! cannot repair it then you're in
trouble. I can't stress too much the importance of backing up your mail in
case of these eventualities. What version of TB! are you running? Be sure
that you're the latest version because, IRC, there were problems with
repairing message bases in earlier versions.
