I am using Maildir, and as I said it works _just_ fine if I delete and re-add the account. Also works fine via Squirrelmail (which is an imap client). I wasn't aware that courier supported mbox mailboxes at all (it only sees the Maildirs in my ~/Maildir). > If you send step-by-step how to create your problem, I can see if I > can reproduce it here. I had an INBOX.default maildir in ~/mail, along with tons of other folders. I converted to courier this morning and moved ~/Mail to ~/Maildir, renamed all folders from foo to .foo, and moved tmp, cur, and new from ~/Maildir/INBOX.default to ~/Maildir/ so that the hierarchy that courier prefers would all be in place. All seemed well until I noticed after surfing through some of my mailing lists that I couldn't open INBOX (~/Maildir) anymore. I can send new messages and see the new message count increment, but I can't access it. > Will unsubscribing and then resubscribing to the IMAP folders fix the > problem also? nope.. I was about to say that I thought you couldn't unsubscribe from INBOX, but oddly enough I was never subscribed to INBOX (when I first added the IMAP account, INBOX shows up as per default). I did try subscribing to it, which doesn't change the behavior. > Have you tried an inbox with fewer messages to see if that will solve > your problem? I s'pose I could try this, but I'm afraid I'll split off messages between two inboxes and have trouble merging them. > I have run into problems using Outlook with Courier and very large > mbox files. Once again, using maildir this shouldn't be an issue. My INBOX has the least messages of all, compared to ~6 months of debian-* lists, lugs, etc.. I'm wondering if extraneous files in ~/Maildir could be a problem. There are msgid.lock and msgid.cache files from procmail/formail keeping track of duplicate messages - should these be moved to ~/.procmail ?
