Space has not been an issue. Internal memory; not user removable; is 2gb. File manager reports 1.87gb total size with swap of 128mb enabled on it. Mine reports 128.7mb used with 1.75gb available. All I have on the internal card is swap and Claws folders. All my other data files are on an 8gb external sdhc card. If it helps your discussion, I finally pulled the trigger on a n810 some months ago and upgraded from an n800. I can't believe I waited so long. I use it daily, very heavily and it's a huge improvement from the n800.

That is what I'm thinking/hoping. What usually happens is: I come home from work, print out what forms I have completed, update my calendar etc, get my latest emails, etc. Then I usually shut down some apps but I usually have several still running along with feed circuit which updates my rss feeds during the night. I let the n810 run on battery until morning, when I plug it in as I get ready. I'm guessing I had a lot of feeds update, along with Claws fetching mails every few minutes and the battery gave out just as swap and Claws was active. I have not yet taken the time to fsck the old files as suggested, but Claws has happily created new folders and is working properly as far as I can tell. The old emails are essentially of no consequence, I'm going to use that opportunity to learn from my mistakes and try and recover them. It might come in handy some day.
