Hello, i tried the trick today. it works. my steps are:
0. backup everything (always do this before any adventure) 1. set all accounts' setting to "save attachments in msg body" 2. tools/backup, backup everything, make sure "store external attachments in msg body" is checked. 3. click ok. depending on the number of mail, it might take a long time to finish. 4. now delete all accounts, as well as their folders (especially "attach") 5. restore everything from the backup package 6. now everything should be back, and attachments are in msg body now (if you observe the *.tbb files, they are much larger, and there should not exist any "attach" folder") 7. this is just a double-check: make sure all accounts' settings are "store attachemnts in msg body", so future incoming mail won't create "attach" dir. since we've changed this setting in step 1, before the backup (step 2), the settings should already be "in msg body". that's it. so far everything works well.
