Hallo Deborah,

live), you wrote:

Don't panic.
Look in the matching directories for the size of the messages.tbb
files, for an empty folder the .tbb is about 4 kB the matching .tbi is
about 17kB. For folders with messages those files are bigger,
depending on the number of messages.
When the messages.* files indicate that your messages aren't dropped
into the eternal mail bucket there's still hope.

Close TB (don't let t purge 'n compress any folder)
Copy the full directory tree with your message base to someplace safe
Delete the messages.tbi file for one of the problem-folders.
Start TB and see if that helped, if so do it for every folder, if not,
ask for more help. ;-)
