Not a fix, just a suggestion for the future: Back up daily.

Well, I do weekly backups on Saturday... this was to be the last email sent 
prior to weekly mailbox compaction, then backup.

I know of no way to gracefully exit Mozilla products via command line. I leave SM up "all the time", though have to restart it periodically due some blasted folder memory leak, disappearing child folders. To mask that, I can open a new SM mail window instance and at least the folders show up again. Sluggish folder open/close performance requires a restart however.

email window"

Anyway... for daily backups I could run them on the local filesystem, and not go through the compact... IF I could automate graceful exit/restart of SM. Suggestions to accomplish such? Then I could have the weekly manual backup remain to our server, run that after cleanup/compact.

Using Linux, the only time I've needed to restore from backup is due to
disappearance of a folder due to an accidental drag.

Jah, I am suspecting I detected I "accidentally started to drag", realized what 
SM thought I meant, stopped, and it was too late. :-(

Sincerely,
