Re: [CGUYS] machine turned off, lost Thunderbird unread messages
When was the last time the folders were compacted? I encountered a situation where the emails wouldn't load in a folder (such as inbox), and after compacting the folder, the emails returned. Ended up going through and compacting all of the folders for prevention. Just a thought... Richard P.

do a search on a subject? it's the inbox. doing a search on a specific subject didn't cause it to be rebuilt. maybe i'm not understanding. didn't there use to be something about deleting ??.msf? don't remember the other part of the filename.

If you have lost the indications of unread messages that shows up in the left hand pane in parentheses, that probably means the indices (*.msf folders) are hosed. One way of forcing TB to rebuild messed up ones is to do a search. Right click on Local Folders (for example) and click Search. Search on something, and watch as each folder has its index built and the number of unread messages shows up. If it is just your Inbox, do the same thing for that, it will just go more quickly. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Compacting folders is pretty much the same thing as deleting the .msf files. See Mozilla link: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Compacting_folders Richard P.
