Hi Gene,

I'm using tbird as an email agent, but it just did something both strange and scary.

Its filters have been working very spotty, only when the phase of the moon was right. And it missed moving a msg from the nut list to the local nut sbbdir, so I went to the filter menu and had it add a new filter based on that msg.  Then told it to "run it now". Apparently a big mistake!!!!!!

tbird took about an hour, totally cleaned out the inbox at my mail server of 4080 some messages, w/o adding or moving to anything, absolutely zip to any local mail directory. No local msgs were played with, but I've lost several hundred often used addresses that were stashed in my inbox.

Does anybody have a clue what did that?

You will have to share the actual filter and actions you configured before anybopdy can develop any clue.

Also, adding the actual version of thunderbird will be useful.

And it may be relevant to have the account type, too -- pop3, imap, whatever server side, and how your local mail storage is organized.

Cheers,

Arno

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
