You're mentioning 3000 messages in your message base, do you mean the complete message base or only that of the folder that you've limited? What's your setting for: Account -> Properties -> Options -> Compact all folders on exit Account -> Properties -> Mail management -> Deletion -> Purge unread messages How do you exit TB? -- Groetjes, Roelof Never lean forward to push an invisible object. http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 4.2.9.7 Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6001 Service Pack 1 6 pop3 accounts, 1 imap account OTFE enabled Quad Core 2.4GHz 4 GB RAM
