I use POP3 mai profile.

I had folder "Folder X", with subfolders. After I rename it to "Folder Y", all subfoolders (besides one) have been lost. I look at directory "Folder X" at disk and see that for all subfolders there are only .msf files, but no any paired files without extensions (as usually should be).

Can I restore my mail in this folders, by .msf files?

I found original files at directory with old name "Folder X". Root files Folder X, Folder X.msf have been renamed to Folder Y, and content of Folder X.sdb have been partially copied to Folder Y.sdb (only msf files), but after it process been failed...

I move files manually to new .sdb folder. So, problem is solved.

Thanks!

A .msf file is an index file holding info about where a certain email starts in the file without extension. You can restore a .msf file from a no extension file, but not the other way around

Do you make backups?
