This happened to me often enough last year (4 or 5 times) that I stopped
using Moz for mail. Couldn't find any solutions. I suspect it's some sort of
local file corruption, or a weird memory/drive space issue.
So... yes, it's happened to me. Yes, it will probably happen again. No, I
don't have any useful advice. :)
Good luck!
