Hi Mark
I downloaded imap 2006h, compiled and installed it, then recompiled mixcvt
against this version of imap. With the same error message. Could you
point me to the code that's doing this so I can try and track down the problem?
thanks

Hi Nancy -
You misunderstood. The bug fixed on January 18, 2007 was in the mix
driver in the IMAP toolkit, not in mixcvt.
mixcvt is simply reporting that it encountered a mailbox that was
impacted by that old, now fixed, bug.

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.
