Thanks, it makes sense that it would re-create. In this case it would mean that literally dozens (actually hundreds I think) of messages.tbb files were quarantined all at the same time. I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials and while I don't know exactly what folder it uses, its list of Quarantined files is "1", dated 3/9/2010 (so not sure if March or September, probably the latter) and it also warns me "you haven't run a scan in a while". I have the feeling it may have updated versions on the weekend too, so it's possible there's a connection but with no indication of finding problems in Oct/10 I'm not sure. I looked again and from within The Bat!, only the 4 standard folders (Inbox, Outbox, Sent, Trash) are visible in all accounts, including the main account that has a couple of other folders visible from within Windows Explorer. =aw ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
