What gives? where on the C: drive is it saved? You see, we need to know precisely what this PowerDesk has done to your TB! installation.

The same principle applies. MM> Would appreciate any suggestions. It's your mail that takes up most of the disk space, so you could have elected to simply move your Mail Directory, i.e., your working folder to the E: drive. This folder contains all your accounts, their mail, and their specific configuration files. To do this, all you'd need to do is to go Options/Preferences, go to the 'system' tab and in the Mail Directory field, browse to the folder on the E: drive you wish the Mail Directory to be when finished, then hit the OK button. TB! will then get busy moving the Mail Directory to its new location on the E: Drive. The only thing left on the C: Drive would be the TB! executable among some other files. On my system that amounts to 7MB. However, my Mail Directory is currently 800MB. You really don't need to move the entire installation. However, if you wish to move the entire installation, then you'd need to do a little registry work that's really not so bad. As to your current situation, it's difficult to know what PowerDesk did and what can be done to rectify this. Does the shortcut that now points to the E: drive start TB!? Does TB! start up normally? Are all your account options, templates, address book entries etc. intact since using PowerDesk? Where exactly are the sent messages being stored? We need the exact location on the C: drive. -- Allie C Martin \ TB! v1.62/Beta7 & WinXP Pro (SP1) List Moderator / PGP Key - http://pub-key.ac-martin.com ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
