It's Jam. And I doubt that would work.

Only message base util i use is Ftools from Fmail. I believe it does
renumber after deleting them, but it only deletes messages after 30 days. I
don't have 30 days of messages in a lot of these areas.

What I am going to try doing is first, deleting my user account altogether
then going back into olms, subscribe to all areas, and see if it works, and
if not, 2) same as above, after deleting the .jlr file (I'll back it up
first, of course!)
