It was also not what I was talking about. If you look at mny first reply ( mid:[email protected] ), you'll see that I was referring to your account's File&Directories settings: Account / Porperties / Files & Directorie

You went to Options / Properties / Mai Directory, which is the global setting and affects all accounts.

Firstly, you should have only looked and not adjusted yet. It is possible that you have an additional folder called Archive on your harddisk, in which case, we would have to find a way to merge the .tbb files.

Now, please do the steps as suggested previously and this time, please only look: The folder under Account / Properties / Files & Directories and the folder on your harddisk on which you find the Arhive folder with subfolders, are they on the same disk and subdirectories?

As for having moved the global mail directory, I think you can just move it back to where it was. However, please wait for others to chip in, because I am nore sure.
