This is sounding like the problem. That account has messed up mailbases that are only partially repaired. When TB! attempts compressions, problems start.

Is it one of them babies that requires a double fan cooling system and air vents? ;) Anyway, it's amazing how our kick-ass hardware can be brought to its knees by problem software/processes.

You could try exporting the messages for each folder, then delete the account, create a new account and then import the messages to brand new folders. I just hope it isn't one of those accounts with 150 folders. Yikes! If so, then I suggest using virtual folders to help cut down on the folders next time around. :) -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.11.02 on WinXP Pro (SP1)
