To add to this, a few days ago I found some 'ghost' messages in my otherwise empty inbox. I could not remove them; everytime I deleted them they would come back when I moved to a different folder and then back to the inbox. Being curious, I took a look at the 'inbox' file with 'Notepad' and found it was full of messages that weren't showing up in the Mozilla inbox window (the file was 17.7 megs!). I wrote a small utility to extract the individual files and discovered that there were 3636 messages in the file. I am retaining copies of the inbox and inbox.msf files should you care to examine them. Since then, I have created new inbox and inbox.msf files and things seem to be working correctly again...

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910 I can confirm this bug. I compacted my all folders and then my Inbox become empty. I used "Compact This Folders". When the Mozilla was working I started some new "Compact This Folders" process. Later I watched my c:\...\Users50\MozProfile\...\Mail\pop.tvnet.hu folder. There was an Inbox.msf file (1295 byte), but nowhere was Inbox file. I restarted my Mozilla then I saw an Inbox file (0 byte). It's a very serious bug. I lost some e-mails.
