Same when you move a message from one folder to another, it's not moved, but copied and the original message stays in the first folder marked deleted. When TB compresses it's messagebases, all the deleted stuff gets really deleted and the indexed are generated anew. OK, that's the basics. Since deleting is evidently an indexing operation, it makes sense to reindex the messagebase to overcome deleting problems. Taken this in account it seems a sensible thing to do to compress your folders on exit. (Has to be set on a per folder basis, folder properties) I have that enabled for every folder, keeps them trimmed too. Apart from this there is an option to purge folders on exit, that deletes the oldest messages when you've indicated a maximum number of messages or days that you keep your messages on the same per folder basis. When all of this fails, you can exit TB and delete the *.tbi files of the problematic folders. These are the index-files and TB will build them from scratch when restarting. Of course TB will have forgotten which messages were deleted. -- Groetjes, Roelof -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
