OT: Mozilla lost tons of email



Hello Folks,

Running Mozilla 1.7.3 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. Instead, there was a strange empty and unopened "email" with a 1969 date, nothing in its message body, no subject, nada. Tried "View-All", nothing. Anybody have a clue what happened or what to do?

It's backed up except for those that came in overnight but some of these would be important.

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.
