I tried to move appx. 5200 mails from my Inbox to a local folder. TB crashed during the move. Within the windows TB profile directory the Inbox file as well as the file in the local folder directory are both there and have the same size as before (appx. 1.6GB). Content comparison shows them as different, however. Within the TB mail view, the mails completely diappeared from the original Inbox and within the local folder, 1.200 are readable, the others are marked as unread, have a date of 1.1.1970 (i.e. the data value is zero) and show no content when clicked. Any chance to retrieve these mails (other than reverting to a backup and reloading from the mail server what is still there)? Regards, Juergen

Sorry for asking without thoroughly investigating myself; solved it by deleting / renaming the msf file which got rebuilt and everything is fine again. Cheers, Juergen
