What was causing it? Bad paths? Glitch? > That leaves what to do about purging/compressing the trash > folder. Try turning it off, running it manually... see what happens... if it still hangs, maybe it is have problems compressing white spaces (that is what I'm assuming TB! compress function is doing anyway). If this is the case, it may be something on your PC that could be causing it... maybe like disk compression (Double space) for example? Another idea might be your virus scanner (if you have one). It may be trying to read the file as TB! tries to read it (most scanners do that so you cannot open an infected file). If the virus scanner has the file 'locked' in a scan, TB! isn't likely to be able to compress it because it's being used. The program I write has a similar problem when dealing with the database... We advise our clients to turn of active system scans, but leave scans for things such as disks etc on... purely because the virus scanner holds the file locked for just too long. If you've got one... try disabling it. > The paths all seem to be correct in TB's configuration and > also in the registry.

I think the later wouldn't work, and you'll probably get errors asking where the folder is (depending on the type of folder I believe). I know if you specify a specific attachment folder, then delete that, TB! automatically regenerates it... but I'm not sure about other folders... it might do it for things like Trash, and Inbox... but custom folders I doubt... How about creating a dummy folder, dropping a copy of a couple of emails in there, so TB! knows it has data, then closing TB!, and removing the dummy folder... and reopening... see what the outcome is... It's a dummy folder, with duplicated emails... so you should have nothing to worry about. > So I'll watch and wait ... tia for input! > > Lynn > > Friday, May 3, 2002, 11:25:08 AM, you wrote: > > [snip] > > >> Also, and this may or may not be related to the previous > >> issues, I can't get it to compress and/or compress and > >> purge the trash folder.
