Doesn't show all emails #52

I exported all my gmail to a 7.9GB .mbox file.
I opened it in mboxviewer, and properties says Mail Count:8757, and some of the gmail labels are obviously missing emails. In Thunderbird the same .mbox file shows 82,535 total messages.

Obviously there seems to be a problem somewhere. Let me know what version you are running. At this point please re-parse the mbox file and let me know if that helps. Right click on the mbox file under Tree view and select "Refresh Index File".

Also, are your mbx file located on the local or network drive?

steveja42 commented 10 months ago

Refreshing the index file fixed it, now shows mail count of 82535. Version 1.03.40 on a local drive. I had cancelled the indexing before because I was trying to change the data folder.

I agree that Cancel action may not be clear. I may consider to remove partial index file created by Cancel or display Message that Refresh is required.

Just curious. You are obviously familiar with Thunderbird. It is quite powerful mail client. Do you use both Thunderbird and mboxviewer for mail viewing? What are the pros and cons of both tools from your point of view.

I'm not a Thunderbird expert, but mboxviewer seems to be much better for working with .mbox files because it shows the gmail labels and thunderbird doesn't.

Thanks. User feedback helps to make MBox Viewer more user friendly.

New release v1.0.3.41 will notify users on possible actions to take when mbox file parsing is Cancelled.
