 Later, a background thread will detect the P*.DAT files and read them, insert the data into the searchable index database, and move the file to a subfolder of the **Main Archive Store** folder (which may be VPOP3\_archive, or may have been changed) and renamed to **A<something>.DAT**. At this point the message is indexed and can be searched for. Later, a background thread will detect the P*.DAT files and read them, insert the data into the searchable index database, and move the file to a subfolder of the **Main Archive Store** folder (which may be VPOP3\_archive, or may have been changed) and renamed to **A<something>.DAT**.

-If the index database is lost or corrupted somehow, then you can force VPOP3 to reindex the messages by moving the files from the **Main Archive Store** subfolders into the VPOP3\_archive folder (not subfolders) and renaming them to **P<something>.DAT** (this is most easily done from a command prompt (eg ''REN A*.DAT P*.DAT''). After a few minutes VPOP3 will detect these new messages and start indexing them.

After a few minutes VPOP3 will detect these new messages and start indexing them. This may take some time if you have lots of messages. Assuming you are using a recent version of Windows you move & rename the files with a few commands in a command prompt (CMD.EXE) window: 
 +  C: 
 +  CD \VPOP3\_archive 
 +  FOR /D %i IN (*) DO MOVE %i\A*.DAT . 
 +  REN A*.DAT P*.DAT
  
 +If your VPOP3 is not installed in the C:\VPOP3 folder, then you will need to change the first two commands as appropriate
 +
 +(make sure you have a backup first)
