I don't know what happened in your case, but 'compacting' does NOT mean deleting -- compactly merely rewrites the file containing your messages to eliminate wasted space in the file. Could you have received about message about DELETING your inbox, and you clicked yes, thinking it was asking about compacting? I often get a message asking to confirm deletion of an entire folder when I'm just trying to delete a single message (I guess that folder must have been selected inadvertently to cause that behavior). _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
