I have, yes - but I hadn't actually lost my inbox, it had just got
corrupted somehow. I looked in the files on the server (/var/mail/auser
in my case) and saw they still had content in them. I think to fix it I
did the following...
1. Opened their inbox in mutt which seemed to load it fine although RC
couldn't ('mutt -f /var/mail/auser')
2. Save all messages to a new folder (tag each with 't', then save all
tagged with ';s' and select file '/var/mail/auser.new')
3. Then moved the old file somewhere as backup (mv /var/mail/auser
/var/mail/auser.old
4. Move the new one into place (mv /var/mail/auser.new /var/mail/auser)
It's a bit of a hack job, but it worked for me and I don't think I lost
any messages.
Cheers
Alex
