Have you tried compacting your inbox (File|Compact Folders)? Works best after File|Empty Trash If you want to delete your inbox.msf, either 1. (I was going to tell you to do a Windows Find Files and Folder, but as your using Mac, I don't know what the equivalent is!) Then I was going to suggest doing a search for *.msf (without the quotes) and then suggest just deleting any and all .msf files. They are rebuilt as needed. 2. In SeaMonkey, have a look at Edit|MailNewsgroup Account Settings, select Server Settings of your mail account, and at the bottom of this screen is the location of your profile (Local Directory). This should give you a bit of an indication as to where the .msf files are. HTH Daniel To cure that Problem: 1 - go to Edit Mail newsgroups synchronization Storage. 2 set the following items to 60 days. a. Messages more than: (Disk Space) b. Messages more then: (Recover Disk Space) B. Remove bodies from ... :(Recover Disk Space) have just those items checked. Now go to each newsgroup and items should stick. Thanks for the post, Phillip, but I don't think it will solve my problem, as the situation I describe can even occur on this server (or the secnews server) which I check virtually every day.
