i have a RedHat 6.2 linux box, and upgraded my
Netscape Communicator 4.72 to Mozilla M18 3 days
ago, using an RPM package from http://developer.eazel.com.
it worked fine at the beginning, and i really
appreatiate its perfect support for chinese (you
know, i am a chinese). but today
i found some mails were received but couldn't
be seen in Inbox.

firstly i thought the messenger didn't get the
mails, but when i tail'ed the Inbox file, i
found new mails were there, they just wouldn't
show up in the UI.
i can't figure out what the exact operation is
that finally made these mails visible, possibly
it was a "touch" to the files under ~/.mozilla
and its sub directories. i touch'ed, re-opened
messenger, focused Inbox, a progress bar told me
messenger is scanning the index of Inbox, and
when this done, i saw the mails.

btw, firstly i thought something went wrong with
my Inbox index file (the .msf file), and
searched www.mozilla.org for a technical speci-
fication for the format of these files, but
failed to find anything. so if anyone of you
know where this can be found, please let me
know.

at last, if i have just mentioned an already-
fixed bug, apologize for my disturbing.
