If so, it will contain the missing mails and most of them can be imported. NZc> Any ideas where they may have gone?

You can delete the .tbi file while TB! is closed. Next time you open it, a new index file will be created. The .tbi file also contains flags, colour groups, and memos. These will be lost when you delete it. -- Cheers, Thomas. "Don't forget your wife's name . . . that will mess up the love."
