Re: OT: Mozilla lost tons of email

Running Mozilla 1.7.3

That's a rather old version - think about upgrading to SeaMonkey 1.0.6.

and this morning it suddenly showed a very small
Inbox. From the thousands of emails in there all but 30 or so have
vanished. The Inbox file still has the large size it always had so they
must be there (somewhere...) but they just won't show anymore.

Maybe they are just marked "invisible" or "deleted".
Do not activate "compress folders"....

Anybody have a clue what happened or what to do?

You should ask that in de.comm.software.mozilla.mailnews (german) or
mozilla.support.mozilla-suite (english, only on the original mozilla
server).

Jim: I know, I know, maybe I should use a more reliable separate Email
program. Mozilla has a bit too much bloat for my taste by now. Or maybe
I go back to DOS where stuff like this simply doesn't happen.

I find Mozilla (and today SeaMonkey) to be a pretty stable tool for
mail, news, and browser as well.
However, I also organize/archive my mails in folders so inbox/outbox
only rarely exceed 10 MB.
