tuffmail hosts my email. I use thunderbird email client to connect to that IMAP server, as well as to a courier-imap server that I have installed on a local ubuntu server box. From time to time, as I start approaching quota in the tuffmail server, I move mail to my local server, and for a very long time (many years) this has worked great. However, I have started having a weird problem regarding attachments:
If I copy / move over a mail with attachment in it to the local courier-imap server, the mail gets copied / moved, but I can no longer open the attachment. I get an error message that "This attachment appears to be empty". However, if I copy / move it over back to the remote tuffmail server, I can open the attachment again. Standard pdf attachments, less than 100k in size. It is not that I can not open any attachments in the local courier-imap server. I have mail there that are many years old, and many with attachments - I can open those attachments without any problems. It is just that I can not move any other new mail with attachment in it and still have the attachment accessible. Thunderbird sees the mail with attachment, just gives that error message while trying to open it. Disk space is not a problem. There are 100s of GB free space on the server, and I have not set any quota or anything. Currently the Maildir is about 1.2GB is size I do realize it would be better to diagnose the problem without using Thunderbird, and I am open to any suggestions on what to do or what data I can provide to the list to understand what is going on.
