Read my post. Migration has nothing to do with this problem. I agree that this problem has everything to do with the failure to write the inbox.msf file. Since Mozilla reads this file in each time it starts and write it out each time it closes, it is Mozilla's write routine that is screwed. This has nothing to with the content as 0.9.6 will display the inbox fine. I do open 0.9.6 to read my inbox. I have both versions installed just for this bug. I do notice that 0.9.6 is always re-indexing the inbox. Maybe what we are seeing is the failure of the re-indexing routine and the write has been broken for a long time? I also have sub-folders and they display fine, even under 0.9.9. I've not seen any re-indexing activity in these folders in 0.9.9. -- Bill <Have a Good April Fool's Day>
