The 'frame' remained (the menu bar at the top, the buttons for in-box and out-box, etc.), just the messages would vanish. I would fip back over to the in-box, and everything there was fine. Flip back to the out-box, messages there, scroll up, <poof!>. Nada.

A website I found yesterday while searching for a new copy of NCU (mine is in storage - dumb move, I know) said that the -1 error during a backup was likely due to a corruption in a data entry somewhere. Why do I suspect that the corruption is in the In/Out-box, it's eating memory like a dog eats biscuits, and I'm going to have a devil of a time fixing it on my own?
Really not much you can do... you might want to grab a soup editor (others
can suggest one) and try to carefully clean up what you can inside the I/O
Box soup. The In/Out box has always been a pain in the @#$%^ for me
*after* I restore backups: I always end up with about 2/3 of my messages
having blank message bodies. Grr. I hate it when I lose data. This
problem has forced me to use my Newt for mail only *very* occasionally.
