Hi Mark

That's kind of strange. I only download mixcvt on 4/17 and the mixcvt.c file has the following line:

Last Edited: 14 April 2007

I also just downloaded and compiled the Apr 23rd version and that one gave me the same error.

These mailboxes are big. That's why I wanted to convert them. One is about 500MB and the other 625MB. I'm currently running the 2006f version of imapd. Do I need to upgrade 2006g?

This message indicates a repair of a damage caused by a known bug in earlier versions of the mix driver. I think that you omitted a digit from the end of the second value. Assuming that to be the case, the message is stored in the index as having 20,987,904 bytes (exactly 20496K) whereas the message was supposed to have 20,988,99x bytes. Thus, between 1086 and 1095 bytes from the end of the message were lost.

The bug was one in which a final buffer's worth of bytes would not be written to the mailbox on append if the number of iterations through the message copy loop (64K at a time) exceeded the number of bytes remaining to be written to the message. The larger the message, the more likely this bug was to bite. It was fixed on January 18, 2007.

Is this similar to the data length error that was posted on the mailing list the other day?

The "data length error" problem was a bug in the traditional UNIX format driver. That too is fixed.
