Hi there,

2 days ago I had some kind of accident with my Mozilla 0.9.6 under 
Windows. I'm reading the linux-kernel mailing list and use a message 
filter to automatically put all Mails in a seperate folder. It worked ok 
for me all the time. Until then I collected about 12,000 EMails in this 
folder (yes, the list is high traffic). Then I accidently dragged the 
folder as a subfolder of a subfolder of a self-created folder. I dragged 
it back but all my mails where lost. The thing is that Mozilla didn't 
seem to delete them. No unusal disk activity. I looked at the files 
where the mails are stored and it's only 133 kb in size. If you guys 
didn't invent some kind of super-compressiion, this should be much to small.
Is this problem in any kind known? Ok, it was only the kernel list this 
time and I wasn't able to reproduce the error but if it happens again it 
could be necessary mails. I didn't find a bug on bugzilla and didn't 
want to file one until I'm able to reproduce it.
My proposal would be that Mozilla tried to copy the folder file. As this 
one was big it took some time to copy. But in the meantime I corrected 
the position and dragged the folder back. Perhaps then Mozilla began to 
copy  the file back, not having written it fully yet and therefor messed 
it up? Only guessing but I experienced a similar thing with my on code 
sometime.
Can anyone even verify the problem?

Thx in advance
Markus
P.S.: My system is Win2k, Mozilla 0.9.6
