I may have found about 2.5 gigs worth, in a backup directory I had made
before installing TDE. My script might be able to handle that as
incoming mail if I only move 5 or so at a time back
into /var/spool/mail/gene. But mc, tha handiest way to do that is too
fast if the whole thing is selected. So I'll see what I can do. Do any
of our copy utils have an optional time delay between file copies, say 3
seconds so that kmail and my mailwatcher script would treat them as
normal incoming email? I wouldn't care if it took a few hours.
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).
