Howdy folks,
I have been using Thunderbird (and a spamfilter - spamato) for at least 3 years. I do have occasional problems and index.msf gets corrupted. The titles here and in a few other groups were causing problems but that was easily fixed by setting pdml.net as an safe domain. But nothing like you are reporting. Have you tried googling the problem or searching the Thunderbird tech base?
Thanks for the data points. Luiz, yes, my machine is fully up to date, with one exception ... I still have IE6 rather than IE7 on this machine.
I've been using Thunderbird since version 2.0.0, on several different computers, and this is the first problem like this that I've had. Like probably everyone, I've had to delete the MSF files and restart every once in a while.
This time is different, though. The problem comes back very quickly, and just getting rid of the MSF files isn't enough ... I actually have to trim the last message or five from the mail file to get rid of the problem (temporarily).
I'm still searching through Google and mozilla.org looking for even hints that someone else has had similar problems, so far without luck. Trying to find detailed bug information for T-bird and Firefox can be a tribulation, though, if it's an uncommon problem. :-)
I'm on the verge of creating a new account and just holding the old one as a backup, but not using it. But I'd really rather solve the problem instead of dealing with multiple mail archives.
