Retitle 295270 Messages cannot be deleted and index file gets corrupted when there isn't enough disk space
Hola Albert Cahalan!
> 1. can not delete mail (minor)
> 2. database gets corrupt (grave) <<<<< Ouch!
With database you mean Inbox.ibex.index, Inbox.ibex.index.data,
Inbox.cmeta, or what?
Neither of these are databases, they are just index files to make the
accessing of the message box faster. No data is lost when deleting them.
You didn't lose any data did you?
While the files were corrupted (before you deleted them) could you still
use the program? Could you receive new mail? Did you get any other error
messages than the one you described?

This is not true. You reported the bug before finding out the solution.
You reported it grave because you couldn't delete the mails.

I agree with this, yet I still don't find this to be of "grave" severity,
if no data was lost.

I'm retitling, but not to this. There's no database corrupted.

Ok, I'm really interested in the "would not work" part. Please elaborate.
