WASTEBASKET

so what happened to my folders? How do I recreate MAIL folder. There
appear to lots of messages in that directory.

Tom, I log in to my systems all the time with ssh and have no problems

sshed in.

No it is fine. I am in my home directory. Seems to me there was a command
to repair mail, but being away I am scratching my head.
