[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1802957, member: 396914"] Been out all day. Sorry for not getting back. It looks like a mod moved it to this forum, which is where it probably should have been all along. The advantage is that it will get more exposure to folks who may be able to help. Not sure exactly what you meant, but if you are trying to access Mail directly in the TM backup, that is not advisable. The way TM stores things only looks like a regular file, but the actual data is very tightly integrated and if a user mucks with it directly the entire TM backup can be compromised and lost. As for the missing message, sometimes a large message (and it sounds very large from your description) can take quite a while to transfer. Speeds for most ISPs going UP are much lower than the DOWN speeds. One thing to try is open Activity Monitor and see if there is traffic on the Network tab. If there is, it's probably still sending.
