PopPeeper resets emails after any event

This one is weird. After any power event PopPeeper loses all emails after April 25th 2024. I then have to go in and download them again. Normally my computer is on 24/7, but there are times when I reboot it. Very strange. Running Win11. Any thoughts?

When you say "any power event", I assume that this means an event in which POP Peeper has exited?

Assuming that's the case, my guess is that the database files are write-protected and are most likely in a folder protected by UAC. If you go to Tools / Options / Storage and either the "Ini Location" or the "data path" include "Program Files", then that's the problem.

See this FAQ for the solution:
