I can look at the file <profile>/Mail/<server>/Inbox and find the email
is still there.  Here is a partial extract of one of the missing
messages:

I just did a quick search and it appears from this that the status
indicates that the message has been deleted!  If so, this was NOT
intended to be deleted.  How can I un-delete it?  This is a large inbox,
about 450M in size, so using an editor is likely problematic.  I
attempted to use advanced search, but <deleted> is not one of the
choices for <status> <is> to match.  Is there a plug-in to fix this?  Or
a tool of some sort?  If platform specific, I am on linux x64 here.

First, do NOT compact folders.

Check the Trash folder and  see if it's in there.  If so, simply move it
to the folder of your choice.

If you have emptied the Trash folder but have not compacted after you
/may/ be able to recover it.  See if this helps.

I just made use of sed to change status 0009 to 0001 and0019 to 0011 and that appears to have solved the problem, but I saved a copy of the Inbox before the operation just in case I missed something. Looking at the page you linked I believe I am fine, but I will keep it for a bit.

On another topic, is there an easy way to eliminate duplicated messages in a mail file? I managed to get duplicates downloaded, I believe by deleting messages via webmail and seamonkey polled before I finished the job.
