inbox.msf is used as an examble file name in the Mozilla page which explains the Compact process. It should be defined on that page, near where it occurs.

The msf file is the index file. It sometimes gets corrupted, causing the display of messages to be incorrect. The compact process deletes the msf file and reconstructs it.
