   Glad to hear that.

   I deleted it and restarted Netscape.   
   Indeed, I saw 'rebuilding summary file' and the sun started to shine again.   
   I've had to do this a couple of times now, but I keep getting 53 emails   
   (the amount that was there on the 28th of December) including the ones   
   with the weird text (just for a laugh, here it is:   
   "encrypting charadrine coturnine morrocans and create pyrrhuline   
   lemurine west-africans tig analyze.")

   I checked my Imap folder, it is empty.

   With everything I meant Local folders and the POP folder.   
   When I checked the properties of my inbox it read:   
   C/Documents&Settings/my name/Application   
   Data/Mozilla/Users50/default/vkhhy2m1.slt/Mail/pop.wxs.nl/Inbox.   
      
    From this location (and any other location I could find) I deleted the   
   inbox.msf.
