I understand all 1700 messages were in the same folder, but 500 of them got lost. You can go to Folder / Browse Deleted Messages and look whether they are still there. But this sounds troublesome for this amount of messages. Instead, you can also close TB, delete the file messages.tbi (that's the index file; message.tbb is the actual message base - don't mix them up), and then all deleted messages should reappear when you reopen TB. Alas, it is always good to backup the file before deleting it (or just rename it instead). If TB finds a folder without an index file, it will reindex it, so a new message.tbi file will be created. If the lost messages were in different folders, please advise. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory.
