Hey Sarah and Teresa; I wish I could say what it does, but alas, all I know is that it rebuilds damaged mailboxes. :)
I'm assuming there's some sort of table of contents file that gets befuddled and this operation restores it's wits! lol! That's my scientific description for you!… when I had the issue the first time, I Googled and found the solution. I tried it and it worked like a charm. So hopefully that will be the case here too… HTH and have a lovely day!… Smiles, Cara :) --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara On Sep 30, 2010, at 1:36 AM, Sarah Alawami wrote: My bad I forgot about that option.
