re: "I've heard that when the mailboxes disappear in Mail "
re: "Have you tried another mail client, including WebMail, to see if 
it is your mail that's actually blown away or the Mail.app 
configuration on your machine?"

It is the account that is blown away not the mail. In fact the 
IMAP-fuller at PO9.MIT.EDU folder is in the Mail folder within my Library. 
It's just that Mail.app does not recognize it.

I've repaired permissions. I've rebooted from the Tiger installation CD 
and repaired permissions but my directory is using FileVault. So I'm 
now removing FileVault from that account and then I'll repair 
permissions from the Tiger CD again.

Any other ideas?
