   Well, my mission here it to get things to work, so I am very glad you   
   are back in business.   
      
   As to why, I really don't know.  I suspect you are right about the Inbox   
   corruption.  The point of the .msf files it to keep the actual mbox   
   files from taking more of a beating then necessary.
