On Mozilla's web site I've read that Thunderbird's In-Box should be cleared
out often. It's a little late for me to learn that, isn't it?

That is what I thought, Thank You!.

The only other thought I've had on restore all the lost messages in the last
MOZBACKUP file and KEEPING all of the newer messages is to make another USER
in XP and install Thunderbird in it and Restore the old MOZBACKUP there.
Then If I want to read or move any of the messages in that In-Box into
another sub-folder to keep them even if I compact the new Users TB messages.
