On my Win95 box, My Netscape Messenger folder tree (the one you see on the
left pane of the window, not an actual directory tree) sprouted a folder
TMPxxxxxx.xxx. If I look in it, a large number of my old messages are
inside - ones that are still in the Inbox. I haven't really investigated,
but I am afraid to blow the folder away because I suspect that data
corruption might be making me see the real messages from the Inbox in there
and not independent duplicates.
