Double Account Tree, Main account has its tree structure copied
 
I've been using The Bat! for many years.

So my MAIL folder's pretty big (2.90 GB).
Today I've installed version 3.5.

After the setup I restarted TB and I found that, under my 4 accounts (all collapsed) I had an EMPTY copy of the whole folder structure of my "main" account.
Everything was present: all folders and subfolders. But they were all empty.
I opened the "real" account (it's pwd protected) and I found that everything was in the correct place.

So I deleted all the empty folder that were in the lower part of the account tree.

Then I found that ALL my filters (Sorting rules) were pointing to a wrong folder. So I had to reset them all.

But the rest was working ok until.... until I had to close TB.
Because as soon as I starded it again, all the folder in my "main" acccount were GONE! :-|

Thorugh the Ctrl+Shift+Alt L I got them back again but, here's the surprise, I got back also all the "empty copies" of the tree structure.

What can I do to get rid of those copies?

Thanks.
 
Would you have a backup with your current folder structure? (Preferrably a file to file back-up and not one made by TB)

If so, close TB, remove all account.flb files from your accounts and the mail directory, for good measures delete all account.flx files (they're obsolete in v2/v3, but were used in v1 for the same purpose). Now restore the account.flb files from your back-up, restart TB and it should be fine.

This is the easiest way. Probably something went corrupt and I hope it was only one of your account.flb files.

I kind of managed it...
I "played" a bit with all the folders present in my MAIL folder and with some configuration file.

I don't know exactly what I did, but now it works fine.
I've only lost all the messages for 3 or 4 folders. No big deal. :-)

Thanks.
