in case it's only the index that's corrupted?
For the problem of the inbox for one of the accounts, created another
folder and by means of a filter I was able to move the three emails in
the inbox to the new folder and then delete the new folder including
the emails in it. We shall see what happens when a new email is
received in that inbox. Will I be able to open it, or will trying to
do so cause Icedove to crash.
As for compacting, it made no difference to the files in the two
folders to which I was unable to do anything except read them.
