Hi
Kind of unclear as how to present this, but....
I have a couple of dozen or so OE rules, most of which I have had for
a number of years and they have worked well.
Thankfully, one of them--the first one--copies ALL email to another
folder and then the successive ones work with individual folders. So,
I have a copy of all the email, which is needed now as OE seems to
periodically either 'drop' messages from files, or decides to just go
back a few weeks and not show the recent emails. Usually a restart of
the application 'brings the recently dropped messages' back to where
they belong.

Once or twice, the messages did not return and I needed to purchase
recovery software to do so as one time it was the 'Sent' box that was
not recovered....and, since I do a lot of my business via emailed
estimates, problems were sure to happen.

I believe OE application/data is corrupt and, yes, I have backup, but
even if it is a few days old, it will be problems. As mentioned, I
have a copy of all the incoming messages, so things are not so bad.

However, I believe it is time to try to nail down the culprit and I
think a good place to start would be the rules...all of which have the
stop processing more rules entry.

I have also thought a lot about moving to Pegasus or Mozilla mail,
but, as explained in earlier posts, I am concerned about maximum
mailbox folders/sizes.

I would appreciate any ideas on any of the above topics.

Thanks In Advance
Joe
