SM 2.9 is still in beta. There was a problem with SM 2.9b2 (maybe also
2.9b1, didn't check) where compacting messages (automatically or
manually) led to message corruption. This issue, which I was hit by
myself, has been fixed in SM 2.9b3 which has just been released. Of
course it's very unfortunate that an issue as serious as this one made
it to the Beta channel, but at least it was caught before release.
According to the below comment (which is from one of the core MailNews
developers), the only way to fix it is to repair affected folders
manually, which I don't recommend to average users since it can lead to
even more corruption, so I won't explain it further here (however,
that's what I'll do to repair my folders). Your only other options are
accessing your backups (if you have some) or deleting faulty messages.

(Please don't make that bug even longer; if you have further questions,
ask them here please.)

Thanks for the info. I thought it might have been the problem, it's the
first I've had with SM in a long, long time. I've been a user since the
Netscape days. I've already updated to the last release SM 2.9b3. Do I
need to do anything more, like clean out the Inbox?
