Have you checked the hard drive to see if the .mbx files are still

entire "users" directory (which would likely mean that someone used a
GUI and accidentally deleted the entire directory)? Or are all the user
directories present, with no files in them?
Sorry for not be clear.
Imail is installed on E:\Imail and all of my users are:
E:\Imail\Users. All user folders where there, but all of the mailbox.mbx
where empty.
Were the main.mbx files present but 0 bytes long, or were they not there
at all?
yes the main.mbx were 0 bytes.
Did this happen to all the users, or just some of them?
all users
I was working on some spamfilter.rul files sometime around the currents
of the phenomenon. Here's some examples:
S~ILOVEYOU:NUL
S~fwd: Joke:NUL
S~Important Message From:NUL
S~Mother's Day Order Confirmation:NUL
S~viagra:NUL
S~earn more moeny:NUL
If this caused the change of events, I would think that it would only
delete messages and not folders.
That shouldn't cause the problem you experienced -- you are correct that
it should only delete individual messages.
Are you running a virus scanner on the server? Someone had mentioned that
if you run a virus scanner, it could see a virus in an .mbx file and
delete the whole .mbx file.
We are only running declude spam and virus pro with f-prot for dos.
