The text shows the beginning of the first message's header then is all garbled. That is NOT cool TB... What a disappointment. I was able to re-import main inbox messages from a TB copy that was several weeks old, looks like I'm out of luck for all the recent stuff but thanks SO MUCH for your help anyway Roelof, it's very much appreciated. And to those who were kindly trying to help with hard drive issues, that's not where the problem was. It appears that the removable enclosure for one of my drives went bad (rare!) which in turn messed up Diskeeper, which is turn locked up everything... And no, Diskeeper had no business doing that, my thinking is that its service is running at a way-too-low level on the OS.
