Hi Peggy,

There has never been any conclusive proof on what causes the corruption, but
most people that have had the problem seem to have recently done a lot of
deletions and/or created folders and moved email to those folders.
My advice would be to make a copy of your mailbox.* files before doing any
mass deletions or restructuring of folders. That way if something goes wrong,
you can restore the mailbox.* files. And always exit out of Juno before you
make a copy.
I would also make another copy after you make the mass deletions.
If you are really paranoid, I would suggest only running Juno when you use it,
don't keep it running all the time. This eliminates the chance of any
problems caused by long-term running or the PC crashing or loosing power. And
the restarts of Juno will find a corruption problem sooner than if you leave
Juno running all the time. Also, you might want reboot the PC if you tend to
leave it on all the time. I make these suggestions based on the fact that I
never had the corruption problem even though I had more messages and a larger
mailbox.bdb file than many people who did experience the problem. But I also
exited Juno when I wasn't using it and I also powered of the PC every night.

I guess this would work. I would certainly test it first before relying on it.
