Welcome back, Hiro. >My mail DB is acting up, and Low Level DB Rebuilt doesn't cure the >problem. Some time when I try to reply, I get database error 7, the >source not found, and it even won't let me save the reply I wrote. Did you check your hard-disk? (It sounds as a HD-related problem the way you describe it) >One folder, it says I have 19 unread mails, but I can't see them. If I >go show by unread, it returns zero, yet if I go show-all it tells me I >have 19 unread. I recently found a rather unusual cure for this unusual problem. The problem occurred with me on my Powerbook when sending an receiving messages through my cellphone, as I was 'on-the road' at that moment. Due to a bad connection I had to retry it several times resulting in these 'bold ghost messages'. Here is how I fixed it: select all you messages in the specific 'problem-folder' with <cmd>-A (or the equivalent menu-item <ctlr>-click (or right-click if you have a two-button mouse) and select 'Mark as Read' from the pop-up menu. and if al is well, it should be fixed. You will probably find that there are no additional messages... It were just some unread 'ghosts'. (at least that was the case with me) >I pretty much tried everything from Cmd+Opt+Launch.

It would do no harm to reset the (window-related) preferences (again), after you did the here-above mentioned trick. Succes! Karel
