Fine, so far.

Sorry guy, there is no way mutt would do that. If you lost mails from a
folder, then most likely it is because of some other method you (or
someone else) used to access your mailbox, not mutt's fault.
Please - don't blame mutt (TM). mutt respects your mails - it will never
do anything destructive. Are you sure $folder was not the same as the
original folder? In which case, it is Unix who is the culprit, for not
providing a method of in-place editing.

Maybe someone on your computer used your own compression routine in a
limited way?
