Every file found in ~/Mail is supposed to be a mail folder (as other MUAs do). Every file in ~/Mail/ARCHIVE is read and written though gzip. But those files are not opened until specified by the user. So I don't see why there were those problems you had, maybe you can reconstruct them so I may test it myself. J�rgen
