It is a setting in your burning software. For some reason, mine randomly switches it on when certain situations arise (like 8 levels of folders), and it forces short folder/filenames, and replaces " " with "_". I think it's something like Jolet (or something like that). I can be corrected on that though, because mine burning software has so many options ;) > While presumably the burning sw / options may have created the _ in > the names and thus maybe the data not being there (empty mailboxes), > I had about 570 mb of mail and many many boxes. > In the end I imported all data one by one into the in box and reran > the filtering process.... > Comments on above apreciated. Copy the folders to the correct location, rename, and replace the _ with " " again (this is so much easier on linux ;)). > Secondly, isnt there an option somewhere to import ALL the mail in one > go...

I think it's under Tools, or something like that. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
