Details

Using Mozilla 1.0 I had my Inbox directory displayed. Was working in another program. Returned input focus to Mozilla and noted no messages in Inbox. Folder list still said 200+ unread messages and I recall about 400 messages total in my Inbox. Remembering Netscape's old behaviour of rebuilding directories after encountering a problem, I exited and reentered Mozilla. (I have the soft exit enabled.) No change. Hard exited Mozilla and the directory then said 4 messages unread. They were newly arrived messages and their info was correctly displayed. Where have my 400/200 messages gone? Are they recoverable?
I found the lost data in a Mozilla-created folder called nstmp. What is going on?
Rick, any news on this? Bug 148700 sounds surprisingly similar...

Rick Tavan: have you had a problem with this since the original filing? If so, have you tried more recent builds of Mozilla?
