No, it doesn't. Look in netconnect(2or3):programs/microdot-ii/data/
and you'll find loads of DBX_#? dirs, each containing weird filenames
representing your mails.
I think you 'lose' them all if it crashes at certain points while
downloading. If the database file is being updated at that exact
point, it gets lost and doesn't know about the updates. That's only a
guess though.

Same happened to me, but only those 2 times IIRC.

Like what? Your points below aren't valid. I know there are bugs, but
nothing that can't be solved really.

Not here, but then I never really used it so I won't argue.

Er, they do in MD2? What's wrong with them?

7 seconds? What?

I have reliability. Are you sure it isn't your system?
