I felt lucky today and tried checking my mail after having removed all my folders' .msf files in an attempt to fix my problem from bug 609674. When it came up I didn't get any new mail. There are tons of messages in the error console that look like this:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80550007 [nsIMsgFolder.getStringProperty]"  nsresult: "0x80550007 (<unknown>)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/folderPane.js :: getSmartFolderName :: line 2441"  data: no] Source 

At this point, I welcome any suggestions. Should I just start from scratch? Make it an IMAP account instead? It's just hard to let go of all that filter, folder, message, tag organization.

We're catching that error and logging it, and you will get that error if your .msf files are missing, and your panacea.dat file is missing entries. But it shouldn't be fatal. You can regenerate your local folder .msf files by doing an advanced search over all folders, for any particular string you want (edit, find, search messages, pick a pop3 or local folders account, and do a search.)

This bug is essentially invalid since you went and removed all the .msf files. We should go back to bug 609674.
