Last backup is dated 6.6 but unfortuneately between this date and
yesterday is quite a few important business mail tucked away in the mail
bokbox that disappered. -:(

Good point, as we se accidents happen it should be an option to
continously make a backupfile of mailboxes.

I have not found any "strange" huge files astray, but I still have the
"enormous" mbox.ibex file of 1,5 Gb. As far as I understand this MUST be
related to the disappeared mailbox ? 

I have tried most editors but the either hang or display  a mix of
letters and code and make no sense.

Hope not, otherwise my business goes down the same way .... -:((

Other rescue tips out there ? -:)
