I upgraded from 1.1.18 to 2.03 about 3 weeks ago, then to 2.04. I just
noticed most of my folders are missing all but one of their messages.
Some folders had hundreds of messages. My wife also just noticed she had
many missing messages (she's on a different computer - both using XP).
I've deleted my msf files, but that didn't change anything.
My profile is 950 mb; my backup from 1.1.18, just before I installed SM
2.03, has 1050 mb. So, it seems like they might still be there. So, how
do I get the messages to show up in the folders so I can access them?
I believe I have found the reason the emails were deleted: the "Disk
Space" setting in the "Mail and Newsgroup Account Settings" was set to
delete emails after 60 days. My 1.1.18 profile is set for "Don't delete
any emails", so I don't know how it got set incorrectly in 2.03. The
same thing happened on my wife's computer, which was updated from 1.1.18
about a week after I did mine.
To regain access to the old emails, I'm planning to add a user account
with SM 1.1.18 and the old profile. When I need an old email, I'll get
it from that account. Eventually, I might try to move some of the
folders over to the SM 2 I currently use.
