Hello,
If a user forgot his/hers saltkey then the items are lost.
Indeed this saltkey is used as the encryption key. So without it, the
decryption is wrong.
There is no way to recover the items ... this is the "heart" of the security of
the database. If there was an algorithm to recover them, then it would be
security hole.

Sounds good to me. Just thought I would ask because I'm sure one day this
may happen. So I guess my next question would be is it possible to recreate
the personal folder forcing them to enter a new salt key..of course old
items would be lost.

Yes I think it could be feasible.
I'll check how to do that.
