The first 'flush' suggests a potential max size problem for the primary inbox, but the second, a week later, suggests that ?? Then, the primary inbox was small, as it is now. I guess we'll see. With my other boxes at the size they are, if it happens again, it will point to some max Mail directory limit, which certainly shouldn't be happening, like a file pointer write-over. ?? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
