I found what was causing the problem: for some reason, the unexist range associated with the mailbox had been set to a range way beyond the actual range (like 30000 beyond). After killing that range, I was able to see my mail again, but I seem to have lost some information about e.g. read articles. What could possibly have caused the unexist range to be so strangely corrupted? Cheers, --Denys
