I've posted this bug once already, but now I can not find it in the database. I
think it is a very serious problem. After downloading all my emails, some
filters moved some messages to another folders, but some messages stayed in the
Inbox folder. If I wait enough time (~10min) some mail gets corrupted. They are
like these:

 and so on. A lot of dots. Probably these are not "dots", because I viewed my
Inbox file with mcview. And when I view it with mcedit, it contains
"^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^" instead of the dots.
There are no other files on my system, which are like these mail files, so this
is not my system's fault, I think. But mozilla don't do this with all the emails
in my Inbox. It chooses the mails "randomly".
Hope someone can explain this to me, because it is very bad, that I get
messages, and after a while I can not read them, because they are unreadable...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get some mails
2. Wait some time
3. Cry...

Actual Results:  
Emails gets rewritten by something randomly.

Expected Results:  
Keep my messages safe.

Please upgrade to 1.6a or 1.6b - do you have multiple accounts with junk mail 
controls turned on for those accounts?

Comment 2

[LeVA]

I can not use 1.6, because there is no hungarian localization for that version yet.
Yes, I have three accounts, but neither of them has Junk mail control turned on.

Comment 3

[LeVA]

And even if I wanted to change to 1.6b, I can not, because I get
"/usr/local/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh: line 454: 23324 Segmentation fault     
"$prog" ${1+"$@"}" error message when I try to run mozilla1.6b. So, what should
I do?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
