They were happily typing away writing an e-mail when a windows notification came up "delayed write failed" and about 30 seconds later the machine went to the BSOD. This shows probable hardware problems i'm in the act of tracing, but the thing that has me stumped is that when they rebooted the pc they had gone from about 1.3k e-mails to about 30 seemingly random messages in the inbox, and after another reboot with no errors they had none.
I've checked the thunderbird account files in application data twice in the last half an hour (the crash happened last night) the first time there was about 6GB of data there, now it's saying there's a total of about 4.2GB, but the inbox file is about 1.7GB even now, and it's stored where thunderbird says it should be.
The other crazy thing is that there's been no problems with any other folders, all the messages are still there, it's just the inbox on the main account that's been affected.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get these e-mails back? I feel like
at the moment!James
