Jeff, Did a 'df', I have 4.5 Gig free, should be enough.
As I said, although I have Mutt on my box, I don't have Pine and have never knowingly used either of them. I rather suspect that rieserfs journalling is to blame through a power loss. (although the box is a laptop, the battery is goosed so it must stay premenantly tethered to the power supply). So it would be difficult to reproduce. If the mbox were corrupted, I would expect there to be some evidence of this in the Inbox, which appears to be perfectly sound. Is there any way of extracting the info (including attachements) out of the mbox? Then I could discard it and start again.
