Answering myself here: Did the following: - Copied all files in my INBOX to a new folder "recover" - Test access showed the same problems - deleted .mixstatus - Access gave me an error on status not available - touch .mixstatus - Reopen mailbox - Mark all read - Now they stay marked In other words: The status file is messed up by my rebuild of the mailbox Comparing the erring .mixstatus with the newly created (by the "Mark all read") shows that the last 8-digit hex code is the only difference (except from an occasional flag of course) Now my question is: What does the last number mean?
