Linux (2001-06-15-06 trunk)
I do not see this problem using this build.  Please re-test.

Still is happening on all builds. Using linux 2001061306
Happens once in every 3 days, only at startup
It's associated with Inbox.msf file. I think mozilla regenerates this file every
x days, and then it happens
I must also say i am sharing my mailbox between mozilla and windows's netscape 6
Mail files are really stored in /win/windows/application data/mozilla/.....
and on /home/myhomedir/.mozilla/... dirs there is a symbolic link to the win
mail dir so whenever i use linux or win i have the same mail stored
But i dont think this is involved because i havent used windows in a long time

I may have to erase my profile and create a new one?

You should not have marked WFM since the problem was on linux
Anyway, this hasn't bothered me for some time, so i am leaving it that way for now
Not verifying however
