I'm using 52.6.0 I have three email accounts set-up, my primary plus a secondary and Gmail. The primary is corrupted, not receiving new messages, old messages are listed with todays date, etc... Repair/Compacting folders did not help, just lost older messages. The secondary and gmail inboxes are working fine however. I've tried to delete the global-messages file and to rebuild with no luck. I'm just wondering if I can install a new version and keep this old version off-line for a while so I can have copies of some of the older messages not on the mail server anymore? I can't seem to install a new version without it referencing my current and corrupted profile?
