This bug struck me again several times since the last update, with usually one or two messages being swapped, but today I got a new variation. Upon switching the selected folder A to another folder B, in the same account, claws downloaded the entire contents of A into B (I'm sure, since the download took several seconds and the progress bar was running). Looking through .claws-mail/imapcache/, it seems that the disk contents reflect what I see on the screen (files indeed contain stuff from folder A). Switching the selected folder from B to A and to B again made claws re-download the *real* contents of folder B. This time, folder A contained 250 messages, folder B 11 messages only, so, both pretty small in size. Server is running dovecot 1.2.12 via imaps. I also experienced the same issue with an Exchange 2003 server (always using imaps). I'm afraid I'll stop using claws immediately, since this bug is too serious for me. Well, that surely won't help solving it, but I understand your concerns. Anyway I'll forward this upstream, as I think there's nothing specific to Debian here. thanks, -- Ricardo Mones ~ The three principal virtues of a programmer are Laziness, Impatience, and Hubris.man perl signature.asc Description: Digital signature

This happens under the following conditions: - you have two or more IMAP folders Of same account? different accounts? I was able to trigger the issue with both setups: - two folders on the same (and only) account - two inbox folders on different accounts the contents of the large folder will be mixed in other folders. Do you mean it will be mixed on the summary view or mixed in the same folder of the filesystem? They get mixed in the summary view, and the message preview also shows the wrong message. I never actually checked the filesystem, but I will the next time. Do you have any processing rules in the involved folders? No processing rules. I have several filtering rules to tag the color of the messages depending on the subject though. What I usually do is discard the folder cache, disable automatic checking of new messages (otherwise I end-up with the same issue) and restart claws. With a folder containing at least 1k messages, it is almost *guaranteed* that an automatic check of new mail will disrupt the folder content. Don't understand this part: do you this for fixing the mix or for preventing it or what for? To fix the mixing, I simply discard the folder cache and re-download the folders. That's easy. To avoid that the issue shows up again while doing _this_, though, I also disable the automatic e-mail check to avoid claws trying to work on two accounts at the same time, otherwise I end up with the same issue. I'm trying to setup the same environment in order to reproduce your bug, so thanks in advance for the info. Thanks. I promised to look into claws sources, but I don't have time. Let me know for any way I can help. Bests -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
