Hi there!
Ever since I installed the latest version of The Bat (3.99.29), I have quite a strange problem with it: all sub-folders of the inbox of one of my accounts keep disappearing.
They're still on my hard-disk. So if I try to create a new folder at exactly the same place with exactly the same name, The Bat informs me that that exists already and nevertheless displays it, containing all the original messages. But then, when I close The Bat and restart again, all sub-folders have gone again.
Does anyone have a clue how to solve this?
I have created the same account, using a different name, and dragged and dropped the sub-folders to that new account, but it didn't help.
I also made new folders, but I renamed one of the folders, and when I restarted The Bat I found it had the previous name again...
I discussed this problem on the mailinglist (), and these are two of the solutions that didn't work so far:
----
1. You could try the magic key combination Ctrl-Alt-Shift-L and all lost folders should reappear.
My reply:
Thank you. But when I 'repair' the folders with the key combination or as I explained above, they disappear again when I shut down The Bat. They keep disappearing, so I'm afraid it's a bug.
----
2. Before you go, it is behaving as though the folder structure file has become read-only.
My reply:
Aha! That can be the problem?
I checked, and the account.flb-file in the main mailfolder as well as the account.flb-file in the folder of the account where the problem occurs are not read-only.
But when I click the folder of account where the problem occurs and check the properties, the 'read-only'-checkbox has a grey marker, as if some of the subfolders or files are read-only.
I unchecked it, and told windows (xp, pro) to apply that to all subfolders and files, but the problem still occurs. The marker is stil there, too.
Windows does that all the time. I tell it to apply it to all the subfolders, make them all read-only, or none of them, and it seems to process that, but then the marker stays there...

Does anyone here know how to solve this?
Many thanks in advance,
