-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. This may take some time if you have lots of messages.
