Fifth attempt to write this message.  The previous four ended in a
locked and not responding TB.

TB has been doing normal tasks so well lately that I thought I might
look at some of the other things it can do.  I saw in the folder
context menu that I can move folders up/down and in/out.  There are
some folders at the bottom of the hierarchy that I would like to move
up.  TB did that without problem.  I tried to delete the old container
folder.  TB gave an AV error it could not recover from.  Close and
reopen TB.  I opened the Manage IMAP Folders window and clicked on
Reset List.  (opening the Manage IMAP folders window while writing a
new message crashes TB)  The Reset List function in this context
duplicates folders at the lowest level.  If there were 4 subfolders in
an area, Reset List makes it 8.  Reset List again makes it 12.  I can
delete one of the duplicates.  This causes all the other duplicates to
show a 0 message count.  Close and reopen TB.  Now all the moved
folders show 0 message count.  Clear Message Cache has no effect.

I was able to recover from the mess by renaming account.flb.  Among
other undesirable side effect this caused TB to spend better than an
hour retrieving all 12,000 message headers.  TB was unable to complete
this task without crashing.  The whole retrieval operation was
unnecessary. Mulberry is able to deal with this situation with no
noticeable interruption of program usage.
