Hi, I am using Courier IMAP 1.6.1 on a FreeBSD based server, and have been using this successfully for over a month with KMail without any problems until today. The MTA in use is exim 4.10.
I was moving files from the inbox to another folder, and at some point, all the files in the inbox were deleted. Checking on the server, the files have disappeared physically from the inbox folders (new / cur) for the account in question, with no warning whatsoever, and this was not requested by me at all (kMail being halfway through a request to move some files from the inbox into another folder on the server). kMail did pop up a dialog box stating that the inbox folder could not be deleted for some reason - this was certainly not a requested action. I strongly doubt that the files are recoverable, as it seems that they have been deleted completely, without warning, by the Courier IMAP server software. If there was a way to recover the files, advice would be appreciated, but I am resigned to losing the emails. So I am sending this message to simply report that under some condition, all files in the 'cur' and 'new' folders in a maildir are deleted by Courier IMAP for no reason whatsoever. Other folders held on the server were fine, and not affected by this fault (or misconfiguration of Courier IMAP?). I have a suspicion that these two folders were unlinked for some reason... then recreated anew. If the problem isn't with Courier IMAP, then there is a serious flaw in kMail's IMAP implementation ... Argh, losing all those emails has left me in shock. They were important :( Graham ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
