   close the program, shut down the computer and take a sledge hammer to   
   the box.  That will fix anything. ;-)   
      
   Failing that, with the program closed, and using your file manager,   
   locate your profile.  In the mail section locate the file inbox.msf   
   and delete it.  Now restart Net.  Does that solve the problem?   
      
   To locate your profile, you can read this:   
   http://ilias.ca/netscape/profilefaq/#locations   
      
   but if you're using windows, then you must read this first:
