I once had an installation that would not copy files correctly at all.  Just 
in case you have a similar issue, please try to move a few messages rather 
than copying them - if you are nervous of doing it, create one or two test 
messages to yourself and work on them first.  You may find that moving the 
messages is the best answer.
