And I just found another file, a mailfile in ~/liaM/inbox/cur, named

but at less than 500 megs, thats not all of them.
Thats a fairly recent date, but I sure don't remember creating it. Thats
one of the problems of advanced age, 8 decades so far. I don't recommend
it. Avoid it as long as you can. :)
What I do know is that I may have moved some of them just to speed up
kmail, one of the other folders is right at 500 megs now, and accessing
it is about 6 or 7 seconds to find a new mail. That gets boring too.
Whats filelight? Something that _thinks_ its an mc?
Thanks Michele.

My inbox, which has no expiry rules set, has gone
from a 6 digit msg
count encompassing dates back to 2002, had suddenly lost quite a few
years worth of content, and is now showing 1522 msgs, for 91.2
megabytes.
Loosely confirmed by a du -h performed in my Mail/inbox directory,
so they are truly gone.
3 or so months ago, it was showing close to 695,000 msgs, and about
12 gigabytyes. However, another folder which also has no expiry
rules, is showing north of 87,000 mesgs, & 481 megs occupied.
Does anyone have a clue where they may have gone?

Difficult to say :-)
But definitely *NOT* a 32 bit file count overflow, since the limit for
32 bit unsigned counters is in the region of 4.3G and signed ones
2.1G, so well above 695000.
I would definitely do things from CLI, but if you prefer graphical
tools, you may consider installing Filelight (if not already done) and
use it to try to locate the "big" folder with all your emails. Or use
Konqueror -> View -> View mode -> RadialMap view (not 100% but
probably it requires Filelight to be installed anyway).
