Re: Bat! not allowing me to delete, some folders screwed up

Hallo David,

On Wed, 23 Mar 2005 07:39:38 -0600GMT (23-3-2005, 14:39 +0100, where I
live), you wrote:

One down

and one to go...

D> Any thoughts on that problem?

Actually I expected that this problem would be cured by the same
remedy, but let's try something (a little) different:
Create a new folder
Copy all messages from your problem folder to the new one
Close TB
Replace the messages.tbb and .tbi files in your problem folder with
those in your new folder
Start TB and see if you can delete messages now

When this doesn't fix the problem, delete the problem folder and
rename your new folder (with all the messages) to the old name

BTW You wouldn't have problems with some virus infected attachment in
that folder, would you? In that case your virus scanner might be
interfering.

That should not matter.
