I did exactly the same thing, but it emptied all my back emails. All my
folders are empty. I have searched all over my home directory but the
content seems to have just evaporated. I have nothing newer than
09/15/2005 11:14 AM in any folder. Thank goodness it did`nt touch my
address book. Nothing I can do about it now, I thought it was perhaps
just a Suse idiosycracy. I`m baffeled.
