I now the feeling. It's nice if a (wo)man is able to scream; the really serious trouble begins in a silence. (-: As I can see you were using so called Backup function of TB. I did it only once, and then yet another time, and it was nuff to me... to learn to *never* use it for any backup. Simply because it *damages* files, and it *cannot* be recovered. For back-up I use an "ordinary" archiving program (as Arj, or WinZip...), because it is *much* safer. If by any chance such archive is corrupted (but this type of corruption is very, very rare; it happened to me only once, and just because HDD was damaged) it *can* be recovered (to the decent degree, and sometimes even entirely), which with TB's Backup utility it is *not* possible. That's one of reasons I keep my Mail folder separately, on a separate partition, and am doing its complete backup, just by (recursively) compressing entire folder (with all subfolders and files in it). Then I do the same with TB folder. And finally am copying TB registry entry (usually to the compressed Mail folder). Then I always am able to restore my mail and all my settings, even after a worst play with something nasty, as with TBv3, for instance. And all of that just in few minutes (about 20.000 letters in this moment, and ~400 folders, 2-3 active accounts and about 20 inactive ones). I know it cannot help *now*, when the corruption already happened, but it can save lots of future screams, and perhaps modify them to the ones of a pleasure. (-: Just to say, yet, that TB has no any "Recover" option, its just "Restore" one. One should be careful with it. - -- Mica :happypiglet: PGP key uploaded at: <http://pgp.mit.edu/> once just before breakfast -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFBOKoD9q62QPd3XuIRAsiDAJwONVnq+zabbzUBaIYr/F4zEreFjgCfdW0D ZsMQKmf+xcQhEvEgP1oFERM= =BqJv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.00.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
