That's what I wonder. I used a couple versions before already and none have shown this. I even did a recompile and install after the problem appeared. I do use the store_passphrase patch though. Can't see how that might affect file accesses... ? I have done experiments with filters and without and more. E.g. if i let all mail filter into another folder then this folder shows the odd behaviour. It seems that all folders where Sylpheed automatically adds messages don't get updated right. >> 2.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I just did that as the error message recommends doing it. Yes, and it works just fine! :-) Thanks for taking the time to help me.
