Details

I'm using build 2001032319 (M0.8.1) on Windows 2000 sp1 on a PIII 800 w/ 512 MB RAM. Some mail messages (my account is pop3 - don't know if imap is affected) are being displayed under the wrong headers. I have posted a screenshot of one example at http://www.umr.edu/~bkaul/images/Mail1.jpg This has happened with several messages, of which this is an example. The message that was shown under this header also appeared under the correct header in a different folder (it was subject to a message filter) The message under whose headers this message appeared seems to be lost.
This seems to be corrected for affected messages by deleting the .msf file for the folder they're in (ie Inbox.msf) and forcing Mozilla to rebuild it. This workaround does not prevent it from happening with future messages, however. I just noticed that my Inbox file is 74 MB (only about a dozen messages actually in the Inbox folder, but apparently Mozilla doesn't move them to other files when they are moved to other mail folders, as previous NS products did) - I don't know if that could be part of the reason for the problem.
Marking WORKSFORME as per reporters comments.
