SYMPTOMS
When you save messages to a folder, the Save Mail to Folder feature will
abort if it encounters a missing message (MAI) file. The following error
message will be displayed:
Notice 16
Error reading mail
(possibly previously deleted).
Press Enter to continue
The message that was missing and all subsequent messages that were flagged
as waiting to be saved to the folder will not be saved to the folder. The
missing message and all of the remaining messages will stay in the inbox.
This is true regardless of whether or not the "Delete inbox item after
Storage Save?" was set to either "Yes" or "No."
RESOLUTION
The remaining messages can be saved to the folder by tagging all of the
remaining messages without including the missing message. The missing
message should be deleted from the inbox using the Delete menu option.
