Package: mailsync
Version: 5.2.1-2
Severity: normal
Hello,
in /etc/c-client.cf I've "set new-folder-format mbx", so new folders are
created in (the recommended) mbx format for performance reasons in
uw-imapd/ipopd. If .msinfo is automatically generated in mbx format the
message IDs (the same with md5) are inserted and maintained, but it seems on
the next sync they are not read before sync because deleted messages in
store A are copied over again from store B to A and not deleted as expected,
the same with the other direction. The only way to get rid of mails is to
delete them on both stores without a sync in between.
workaround: If I create an empty .msinfo mbox format is used and everything
woks ok (set empty-folder-format unix).
A self compiled mailsync binary from the upstream source package and with
debian libc-client-dev suffers the same problem
~/.mailsync:
store server {
server {server.domain.net/notls/user=test}
ref {server.domain.net}
pat INBOX
#prefix sync/
passwd pass
}
store local {
pat INBOX
#prefix sync/
}
channel server-local server local {
msinfo .msinfo
sizelimit 10485760
}
Best regards, René
