Hallo z5worg,

Create a new folder with TB
Exit TB
Copy the *.bin file to your new folder and rename it to messages.tbb
(this means you'll have to delete the original messages.tbb and .tbi
files and that's why you created a new=empty folder)

I don't know why these differences exist, but you can try two things:
exit TB
delete the messages.tbi files for the problem folders
(the messages.tbi file contains the index for the folder, when the
file is missing, TB creates a new one)
start TB and check whether everything is as it should be.

If it isn't right now.
Create a new folder.
Move all messages from one of your problem folders to your new folder
Compress the problem folder and see if there are any messages left
Continue to do so till it's empty.
Exit TB
Check whether the messages.tbb file for the problem folder is empty.
(The messages.tbb file for an empty folder is 4 kB, the messages.tbi
should be 17 kB)
If it's not, check whether you can salvage something with a text
editor and delete them afterwards.
If it's empty, delete both files anyway.
Start TB and move the messages back from the new folder to their
original folder (to keep your filters from messing up)
Compress the new folder.
Now proceed with your next problem folder.
