Hello,
If what has just happened again to me happens anymore then Im
gonna Have to go back to using Yam - even though it had taken to
crashing a lot in the last month or so of using it ;/ (and I like
the feel of SM better!)
Ok, a few weeks back SM gurued (a rare occurance). I uses Xopa to
get rid of the task which doesnt usually create any problems.
When I restarted SM my entire INCOMMING dir had been wiped clean
of mails, with no record of them being on the HD either - not
even in the .deldir section of the pfs partition!! I lost
several very important emails that day! :/
Obviously I assumed it was my own fault for using Xopa on SM. It
would seem that is not the case. Ive just downloaded a few
emails, gone into my Mediator dir and found 20 or so emails, all
"unread" (even though i downloaded only 12) all with really crap
subjects like "_#-____£---##_!---_----e" and all 0 in size. They
wont delete and when i shut SM down and reopened it the Mediator
dir was totally empty. I looked in the direcotry on Workbench
and the .config file for mediator was there but no .index file
and the Mediator drawer was newly made wen SM started up again.
Just lost 180 odd emails!!
As a note: I went back to using sm .16 cause .17 was too flakey
here for some reason!!
TTFN
Sam.
