[Discuss] mbox questions



I currently use Thunderbird 7.0 and I have periodic freezups. I have had
this issue before, and one of the solutions is to remove all the index
(.msf) files and compact all the mbox files. In my situation I have
emails in local folders going back years. This should be no problem, but
I would like to find a utility that (1) will test each mbox file for
corruption and (2) compact it.
Of course one other solution would be to convert to Evolution or another
email client such as kmail. I used to use claws, but I prefer to have
the capability to send html formatted emails if I want to.
