I can't do normal functions with it.. I haven't tried too much to open
it in an editor, but I also can't copy it.. it won't allow me to make
a dupe, so it makes it hard to play with knowing if i open it, it's
definately messed up!
I guess I'll go for it and not worry about it.. maybe i'll also change
the settings to not delete mail off the server for 2 weeks to solve
that issue..
I think there should be some automated backup routine for preservation
of datafiles!
