Filtering by "Subject or Sender Contains" deletes mails?

[Philip Rhoades <phil pricom com au>]

People,

I have noticed in the past that mails mysteriously disappear but have  
never had much to go on to find out why it happens.  I just lost a mail  
again the sequence of events was like this:

I was searching for a particular mail that I knew was still in the  
inbox (100+ mails) so I used the filter "Subject or Sender Contains"  
but still couldn't see it.  I then grepped the file and found the item  
straight away but I still couldn't see it in balsa.  So I did a search  
for another keyword in the body of the mail with no success.  I then  
exited balsa, thinking that something has been messed up and maybe just  
restarting would fix it.  However, when I got back into to balsa, I  
still had no success finding the item but now, exactly the same grep  
command also did not find anything!  The mail is definitely gone and I  
didn't delete it . .

Regards,

Phil.
