197807 - Filters say -- folders do not exist -- and then disable themselves

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 197806

(MailNews Core :: Filters, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

Computer crashed in netscape 7.02...upon return no profiles were found. 
Installed Mozilla to see if profiles would be detected, nothing.  Kept pointing
program at profile, finally was recognized.  All filters are intact but whenever
incoming mail arrives the filter states the folder does not exist. Editing the
filter does not help. Trying to make a new filter only results in a "duplicate
filter" message.  I hate to remove all filters and start new...looking for a fix.

Reproducible: Always

This issue did start in Netscape 7.02 but the latest build of Mozilla is also
not filtering correctly. I am assuming there is a corrupt data file but I do not
know which it could be. What files should I look at?
