Hi Pierre,
You referred to index files. These are the Inbox related
files:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 jd jd 2203410606 2008-04-08 23:56 Inbox
-rwxrwxrwx 1 jd jd 4901686 2008-04-08 20:52 Inbox.msf
-rwxrwxrwx 1 jd jd 290951932 2006-03-03 13:07 Inbox.saf
-rwxrwxrwx 2 jd jd 2206 2008-04-08 20:30 Inbox.saf.msf
So, which of the Inbox files with the extensions are the index?
Cheers,
JD
