View Full Version : File deleted on import

I am importing several large mbx files for archival purposes. At the conclusion of each import, the file is erased. I think there is/was an option to do that, but I cannot remember where to access that option. If my memory is not correct, why does this happen (obviously I want to leave the file intact)?

Thanks.

mbox import doesn't have the 'Move files (delete local files and folders to Recycle Bin after import)' option, but it does honor the last selection for that option from other import types (a bug which we'll put on our todo list).

To resolve the problem, perform a file import of any file and uncheck the 'Move files' option, undo the import, then subsequent mbox imports will not move the mbox file to the Recycle Bin.

Also note that the files will be moved to the Windows Recycle Bin, so you can still recover from there (assuming the Recycle Bin feature is not turned off in Windows).

Whew! Thanks - I thought I missed something. It would be very good if this would be corrected.
