Christoph,
Yes, I am interested in preserving the spool and would like the
instructions.
After this experience, I certainly would like to use the new utility that
comes with 2.4.X to repair the overview files.
Thanks for your help,
Lisa

Strange enough. The directory exists and there's enough spaces/inodes?

Oh yes :-(

Restart from scratch. Wipe out spool, history, and overview.
Sorry for these hards words but 2.3.x crash recovery _never_ succeeded
for me, makehistory and the like were just a huge waste of time.
If you want to preserve the spool: That is possible, feel free to ask
for instructions.
And: Upgrade to 2.4.x ASAP.
