but I got no response there] Windows98se (4.10.2222), Mozilla 0.9.4 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913
While sorting my mail [ very big local archive of lists ] I got to one of those points where I could not move or delete a message. At that time all my local folders were visible. I closed and restarted [ without exiting QuickStart ]. When I came back up the whole Local Folders account was not visible! I re-booted - still gone! THREE DAYS LATER: OK, all the Local files were still here but were not being seen. Perhaps not the best move, but I put them in by doing an "Add Account" and pointing it to the existing Local_Folders directory. The files re-appeared so I could read them. Now I have several other types of breakage. (1) All my 200+ Message Filters are broken because the target isn't being found. (2) When I try to fix them I find that the "Filters for:" dropdown shows "Local Folders" twice and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" not at all. (3) Stubbornly, I fix a filter using Edit; now when I click "OK" on the filters-list dialog it doesn't dismiss - to dismiss it I need to click the [X] close button. (4) When I bring the list back up, my edits are gone. (5) Intermittantly, when I try to bring Message Filters back up it comes up with an empty list. Before I dive into a huge rebuilding effort, where is the information about root account names and the location of the special Local Folders directory stored? Is it repairable there? My next step is a new profile but pointing it to the real files. Does that sound like a winner or should I let it create new files then move the old ones around to replace them?
