Hello fellow Batters, I am experiencing a problem with a message folder file which contains over 2GB of mails (with attachments) which has become corrupted somehow. I did the 'normal' thing when this happens which may have been a serious mistake. I was able to see the messages, but the filter for the folder could not place any new messages in it. I deleted the IDX file for the folder and tried to re-index the file. No dice! I also can not see any of the messages previously listed in this folder anymore. :-(
I then tried to create another folder and COPY the file to that folder. NO DICE!! It gives me a file error (file fails CRC). Any suggestions on how I can possibly recover the over 1.5GB of graphics attachments that I have not had time to extract and save? This is over FOUR MONTHS (2023 messages) of posts to a mailing list. I am running WIN2K SP2, and FAT32 file system, not NTFS, as I upgraded from WIN98SE. I have had absolutely no errors like this since the upgrade. Running TB 1.60h personal. Is there anything like a utility to repair a corrupted MESSAGES file? I have seen such utilities for other similar apps. Folder Refresh and Account Refresh Folders functions have no effect. -- Warmest tropical wishes, Spike - Hanging out in Hell, Grand Cayman ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.61 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://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
