Usually, although I might have to do it more than once before it works; however, rather than just deleting the .cdb file, I have copied it to another location, and then I have copied it back to its regular flash disk place and I have been able to keep my emails that way. Now, sometimes, rather than copying the .cdb file, I've had to move it somewhere else, and then copy it back. But, it has been very rare that I've just had to delete the thing altogether and lose all my emails and start over.
