Corrupt email database index - How to repair ???

[modus operandi]

Due to a haphazardous corruption of my WIN 10 - profile, I could no longer enter my Opera email account. In trying to resolve the matter one way or another my email database index ( with 70.000+ messages ) went also bezerk !!! I still have all .mbx & .adr files. on disk. But searching the database for either a contact, a term or a date gives totally erroneous results ! How can I repair this ?
I know I'm a bit crazy to stick with Opera mail, but after all those years and all those crashes, I still am used to and appreciate this whacky program

Hey, I still use it, and I'm pretty sure blackbird71 does (our expert on Opera Mail). I'll wait to see if he has a better idea on this, though.

• Check the database.

• Rebuild the search index.

• If those fail, Repair the mail folder.

I'm sorry,@Burnout426, but these 2 reddit-pages do not seem to exist

It was a typo on my part. The mods fixed the links (thanks).

No problem. The forum swallows underlines (interpreting them as formatting characters). Since I saw the italics in your post - and the BBcode - I knew exactly what happened.
