I am running Juno 4.11 with Win 98SE and my Juno Inbox crashed today as i was in the process of retrieving my email (Via DSL and Megamail). The ugly looking fold0000.bad file is there and I'm sure that a lot of the messages would be intact if I could only figure out how to "retrieve" them. Does anyone have any idea how to attempt this???? Specifically here's what happened. I was downloading my mail and I received the message saying that I had over 1000 messages. Sure enough there were 1004 messages in my inbox so I selected about 10 of them and moved them to a different folder. Then I did what I commonly do (that seems to reset the number of messages to the actual amount) was to bring up my "deleted folder" and then go back to my "inbox." It was at this time I got an error message and my inbox was now renamed to folder0000.bad and the new folder0000.frm contanined the messages that could not fit into the inbox from the download. I remember Larry Cook???? talking about the format of the V4.11 files but I couldn't find the reference in the archives. I tried to import the "bad" file but that didn't fly. I tried to fix the front end of the "bad" file by adding "From" lines but the resulting import resulted in 25 "messages" that were each very, very large. The messages were somewhat recognizable as truncated messages of what I originally had but not enough to be useable. I obviously did not have a current backup because I was just in the process of getting the new messages. Any thoughts out there??? (No, I don't mean about me.) :^) Don To unsubscribe, send a message to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe juno_accmail" in the body or subject. OR visit //freelists.org ~*~
