Yes, you are correct. I've tried almost everything I could think of to
recover the DB. Copied it to an OS-8 machine with a rock solid, big
RAM
Emailer setup and the DB would not rebuild, either Typical or
Advanced.
Both would crash the program or freeze the OS. Tried on another
OS-9 and
and OS-X machines, and same reaction. Tried to send an email, crash.
Can open and read the older mail, but nothing else. Can't forward
either.
Um... did you check and see if there are any emails in your Temp
Incoming folder? You could have a bad email in there and it is
causing Emailer to crash as soon as Emailer tries to unpack it.
If there are any emails in there, remove the newest one (sort by
date, take the top one out). Then try starting emailer again.
If there are no emails in your Temp Incoming folder, then remove the
Mail Index file from the Mail folder, that will force Emailer to do a
full rebuild. Before you do that, I seriously recommend you back up
your Mail folder, as you CAN NOT mix index and database files between
different sets or you WILL totally hose your mail database (so in
other words, once you remove the index file, if something goes wrong,
you can't just toss the index file back in there and try something
else, as the index and database will now be different).
