   Hello Tim!   
      
   I really don't believe what happened earlier this morning .....   
      
   - Polled my primary uplink for mail(mail received, nothing to send)   
      
   - Clicked the "Reports" folder in the message tree   
      
   - Three new reports displayed in the message list   
      
   - Clicked on the first one and managed to read it   
      
   - Tried to click on the second one but the mouse pointer wouldn't move(locked   
   up)   
      
   - Within a few seconds, my PC rebooted itself   
      
   - Fired up WinPoint and clicked on the "Reports" folder in the message tree   
   and I got an "Access Violation" popup - see https://stargate.org   
   uk/winpoint/screenshots/access_violation.jpg   
      
   - Clicked the "Ok" button to dismiss the popup and noticed that the "Reports"   
   message list was completely empty   
      
   Every time I click the "Reports" folder, I get the "Access Violation" popup   
   and an empty message list but having looked in the messagebase directory, the   
   "Reports" message base files are actually there.   
      
   How do I recover the situation?   
      
   Regards,   
   Martin
