Sort by date broken?

Post by pizzafoundry »

I just noticed if I sort my sent file by date using the header, it does not sort correctly. Most of the entries are correct but the first one is wrong, then there are several other errors scattered down the list.

See pdxconnect dot com slash TbirdSort.jpg .

Right click on the name of the Sent folder in the left hand pane of the main TB window and select "Properties" the click on the "Repair Folder" button when that is displayed.

Thanks, Dan - I wasn't even aware of 'repair folder' - that would've worked I'm sure... I just saved sent contents, then nuked the 3 files, sent 1 new message to re-create sent, and then copied 'em back - works fine now.

You're welcome, and you used the "Sledge hammer" approach to correcting a potentially corrupt file. It does work, as you've seen.
