More, perhaps useful data for whomever will do a fix to this problem. I had another occurrence of filters changing, and afterwards I looked at the msgFilterRules.dat file.
The msgFilterRules.dat file is unchanged up to a location in the file. After that location, every filter in the file is pointed to the same message folder, overwriting previously correct data. The first time this happened to me, the corruption started only a few filters into the file; the second time only about half of the msgFilterRules.dat file was affected.

Fortunately I do a synchronization with another computer every night, using Goodsync, so I was able to retrieve yesterday's copy of msgFilterRules.dat and get back to normal. Perhaps SM could store several iterations of this file and perhaps a selection to let the user revert to an old copy? Until this is fixed, I will save a copy of msgFilterRules.dat daily to be on the safe side.

I guess you're seeing bug 735940. TB spun a 11.0.1 release including a fix for that, we didn't (and AFAIK we're not planning to do so, but would probably include it if we had to do an oilspill release with security fixes for 2.8). It'll be fixed in 2.9, though. <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735940#c39> HTH Jens _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
