Losing email to the "Rebuild Table of Contents?" snafu

I use Eudora Pro 4.2 on my Mac OS 8.6.

It seems like every 6 months I get a message saying something like
"Mailbox is damaged. Shall I rebuild a new table of contents?" Options
are OK or Cancel and I hit OK and lose hundreds of important emails.

Now, that error message or one sneakily like it shows up only rarely.
And briefly. So I don't even remember exactly what it said.

But basically the darn thing tricks me every time.

I can't make it happen on purpose.

But it does steal my mail.

Anyone know a recovery trick?

I would be oh so happy and grateful.

Thanks,  JP

I would suggest:

Hit Cancel
Quit Eudora
Make backup of offending mailbox
Restart Eudora

If it's always the same mailbox that this happens with, I'd try
transferring all the messages in it to a new mailbox, then delete the
old.
