Hello, Before the 'you're a dunce' comments start I already know!
I have directories on my system with lots of old mail from earlier versions of TB! but these directories are only the MAIL files, the executable and general installation files have been deleted. I have a spanking new (well a couple of monthes old actually) installation of TB! 1.62 xmas edition which I use daily. Now I've always been a bit blase with my mail and haven't done proper TB! administered backups. So now what I want to do is access the mail in the old mail folders. I have looked at Synchronistaion - but that doesn't work because the actual installation files of the old mail have been removed. I have looked at Restore - but that doesn't work because I didn't backup the files with TB!. I have also just tried creating a new account with the relevant name (i.e. the name of the directory of the mail I want to see) and TB! tries its best to read the mail but gets a bit confused - using directory names of existing accounts rather than the ones which are in the new directory. So i want to know is this old mail lost (theres 500mb of it!), corrupted, regainable or what - am i being stupid (still) and if any of the above is true have I learnt my lesson about being a little more careful with my mail archive (yes!). any help would be gratefully appreciated [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
