    Just 2 minutes ago, when I used the resyncronize command, I watched
as elm printed out 'seek error ??? while reading mailbox' (or something
like this) and then suddenly 60+ messages in my mailbox were gone!
(I'd gotten some of these messages earlier, but without losing mail).
Any idea why I suddenly starting getting seek errors today ?
(too much junk in my mailbox) ?
    Until this happened I've liked to maintain a large set of files
in /usr/spool/mail, and keep them as a reminder. How do people
use mbox, as another folder ?
    
    I really like elm, but I'm getting nervous ....
