Delete the HIERARCH.PM file within your mailbox directory and then start up
WinPMail.  Note that this will remove any tray structures you have defined,
but it should bring back all of your folders.  

I'll have to spend some time testing this to see if I can reproduce the
problem.

Today I installed 3.01d, the very first version of Pegasus ever used on
this particular machine. After setting up some trays and folders, rules
to filter mail into particular folders and various identities, on about
the fifth run of the program, it complained the mail folder was invalid
or missing and offered to create it anew. I didn't let it and soon found
the folders list was empty.

The help file mentioned a 'Check folders' entry in the Folders menu, but
it isn't there. Adding folders by the directory used for mail didn't
work either, though it brought the 'new mail' folder into view - not
that it stayed there, as it too had disappeared by the next run.

While I've followed the above advice about deleting the hierarchy.pm
file, it was a total pain to have to recreate the tray layout.

In another message here I saw that this disappearing folder problem was
'fixed' in an earlier version. Obviously not! Now, there was one quirk I
noticed while getting some mail - I had two trays created, and each one
had a folder within them called 'Personal'. I had rules set up to filter
incoming mail into one or the other depending on who it was addressed
to, and all the mail went into one of these 'Personal' folders - the
wrong one. It seemed to me as if it couldn't tell the difference between
the two - should folder names be unique within the mailbox? Would not
having unique ones confuse the program enough to cause this problem with
the hierarchy file?

I want to like this software, as I'm fed up with my current client, but
I do not want to have to put up with problems like this in what I had
been told was a well-established and stable program... also had it crash
on me when doing a spell check, so haven't tried that again.
