It's not corrupted mbox files. It's the Mork database that T-bird uses for summary information that gets out of sync. This takes a long time with large mbox files and, since T-bird isn't threaded that way, locks up the UI. You can't convert from mbox to maildir. You have to delete the account (save your mail first if needed), enable maildir storage, and recreate the account (and import mail if needed). -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
