Yes, I've experienced this, too. And, like yours, it seemed to
occur only with the same people. I was never able to determine why. I
surmised that there is a bug in MDII's filtering. Or it could be that
the posters of the lost mails were using Outlook Express or the e-mail
client of IE. They each routinely wreak havoc on MDII and crash my
little 3000. It must be the non-standard control codes that these
programs use.
The one thing I did do, though, was to turn off "Auto-Expire" in all
my folders. This seems to have helped. I haven't noticed any "lost"
e-mails since, but I don't know if this is truly a "fix."
I am also very careful about filtering. I try to do it so that if
the filtering fails the mail ends up in the main PRIV folder. (And a
lot does.)
Later....
