I am one of those strange people who will try anything, no matter how much of a pain in the arse it is :-)

There very well could be, every since 2004, about once a week, I get a message that pops up that tells me it found problems, and I should repair them. I always save out the report, and it is always empty, helpful eh? :-) I end up rebuilding once a week as a result, as it just wont stop pestering me. What bums me is there really is nothing I can do as a user to cause these issues. So I kinda feel, why should I take all these steps when it is telling me there is trouble, but how in the heck can I cause it. Basically, it is not my fault :-) I don't get attachments, and those few I do, get nuked right away, any outbound emails with them have them removed by a script, right away. Maybe this has something to do with it. > If so, did the > problem disappear for a while and then return?

Heck, I will give it a try, as long as I am assured I can get all my data back how I had it, what are the downsides of this, and why can I not just drag the mboxes, export my address book, etc, you know, with the built in export? I would like a little primer on this before I jump right in.
