   Perhaps THE NETSCAPE GURUS can explain please.   
      
   I was working on my Local Folders, moving messages between folders,   
   etc.. The system was off-line, with the modem powered down!   
   All of a sudden while, my hands were off the keyboard, and off   
   the mouse!, the display (jumped around) i.e changed on its own.   
   The folder that I had highlighted and was inspecting, disappeared.   
   The highlight jumped to a different folder.   
      
   Of course I was much surprised and went looking for my missing   
   folder. Finally I found that:   
   One of the other folders had suddenly acquired a subfolder,   
   whose contents were my missing folder. Checking the files   
   structure with the Windows file system explorer, I found   
   that sure enough an  .sbd subdirectory had been created   
   and my folder and its .msf file had been moved to the .sbd   
   subdirectory.  i.e.   
      
   The file structure Before was:   
     X:"local folders"   
        aaa   
        aaa.msf   
        bbb   
        bbb.msf   
       ........   
   And After:   
     X:"local folders"   
        bbb.sbd   
        bbb   
        bbb.msf   
       ..........   
     and in bbb.sbd   
        aaa   
        aaa.msf   
      
   I also noticed a bunch of folders in the Netscape Local Folders   
   structure, (and they were reflected in the Windows explorer structure   
   of X:"local folders") that I had not created.   
   Looking at the contents of these I was surprised to find that some   
   of them were holding contents just like some groups of messages   
   that I had been moving around between different folders earlier.   
   I.E These seemed to be some kind of Netscape temporaries ???   
   The names on these extra folders were: nstmp, nstmp-1, nstmp-2 ...   
   Some of the contents of the other nstmp-* folders   
   seemed to be quite old. i.e. not messages that I had been   
   manipulating recently.   
      
   WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON ???
