Maildir deleted

Dear list members,

Yesterday night I compiled and installed Balsa 2.5.3a-76-ga1b1465 from GIT. 
Compilation and installation passed without failure messages.

Balsa was started in debug mode with 'G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all 
/usr/local/bin/balsa'. The log did not show failures but Balsa reported that 
the local mailbox can not be opened. This was very strange. I restarted Balsa 
with identical results. So i check my maildir directory - it was gone/deleted!
Luckily I run two identical notebooks - one for testing and one operational. So 
I copied my maildir directory from this notebook (operational) to my test 
notebook and restarted Balsa, and everything was fine. The gone/deleted maildir 
directory is concerning me very much.
Is somebody out there with the same/similar experience? This really worries me!

I am running xubuntu 16.04 LTS 32 bit.

Yes, that's disturbing! For myself, I have never experienced Balsa deleting any 
mailbox, maildir or other, except with an explicit command and confirmation 
dialog. Deleting a maildir folder involves removing the tmp, new, and cur 
sub-directories as well as the folder itself, and it's hard to see how that 
could happen by accident. If you experience this again, some more details would 
be helpful.

Best,

Peter
