I just was the victim of a Juno 4.11 Inbox folder collapse. In this
situation the only thing I lost was 1000 messages in the Inbox -
still a significant loss. Is there any way to recover from this
situation? and restore the inbox. I can find some information
searching the resultant folder0000.bad.txt file but there is enough
junk characters in the file (as well as the mesages are not in
logical seqeunce) so it is hard to find individual messages and
impossibe to restore ALL messages.
Any thoughts or comments by the experts??????
Thanks
Don Elias
