When I had this with a corrupted database, you just get a list of folders called orphaned folders, some with mail in them, some without, but it is

I've always been able to rebuild the database when there are orphaned folders... however the results are not great. They will "vanish" and leave the email all in one folder instead, and often deleted email will be resurrected at the same time, leaving you with a heck of a mess to try to clean up.

If a standard rebuild fails, try an advanced rebuild, and if that fails, remove the Mail Index file from the Mail folder and relaunch emailer, that will force it to write a brand new index... just be prepared for things to no longer be where they belong.

The easier solution... keep regular backups :-)
