| Try compacting your message store while working offline and let it
complete.

Jim: Yes I always compact while Work Offline is ticked. I'm on a
satellite receiver so the setting is 'always on' therefore I have become
habitual at compacting while Oe is offline. While retrieving the folders
that I had moved out of the way for 'safe keeping' I noted some oddities
therefore I think the 'corruption' did occur in those storage folders
were received mails containing passwords, subscription info had piled
up.
Its an easy routine but I'm not going to continue with that type of
additional folder. Copy, paste into a text editor from now on for me.
