This is version 3.95.6 In the directory for this folder, you will find three files: messages.tbb, messages.tbi and some *.bin file. The latter contains your former (damaged) mailbox. You can view it with a text editor (not everything will make sense, but you get an idea that this contains the "lost" mails. You can import this file with the import wizard (Tools / Import / From TheBat message base TBB). I'm not sure whether you have to renmae the file to .tbb first, I don't think so, but try it out. NB: This will work only if you use "plain" message base, not "on-the-fly encryption" (=OTFE). If your mails are important, never use TB's internal encryption functionality. -- Cheers, Thomas.
