Al,
What happens is that everything is put back just like it was and all of the
items in a corrupted database are rebuilt.
You can run this procedure over and over and at the end everything will be
just like it was when you started.
All "Mail Box's" will be the same and you won't have any folders that say
"Imported" well unless you had "Imported Mail Box's" when you started.
I especially use this procedure when I (for what ever reason) have mail
that will not move or delete.
Eccenually it is the same as selecting a mailbox and the selecting the
"Rebuild" function.
Cheers
Harry
