What were you trying to do?
	folder -pack
	and there don't appear to be any network or fileserver problems
at the moment.

What's wrong:
	(~) Meow? folder -pack
	folder: unable to rename 150 to 72: No such file or directory
	(~) Meow? ls Mail/inbox/150
	Mail/inbox/150 not found (No such file or directory)
	(~) Meow? ls Mail/inbox/72
	Mail/inbox/72
	(~) Meow? folder
                 inbox+ has  196 messages (   1- 576); cur=  88; (others).

Note: I am well under my quota at the moment.

What should have happened:
	It should have packed my inbox, and not given me a scary error
message.  (I repeated the folder -pack, and it worked this time.)

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	man folder


Thanks!
