These are very powerful tools that should only be run in specific circumstances. What were the exact text of any complaint messages which you received? Those message are very specific. Paraphrasing them in a problem report destroys their usefulness. There are several messages in mixrbld, mixdfix, and the mix driver in c-client; but none contain the string out of sequence. I have no idea what kmail and horde/IMP webmail do. Have you tried access with Alpine? If so, what behavior do you see? OK, Compiled and tried with alpine. The same thing happens: If you read a mail of the problematic ones, it is still marked as new when you leave apline and return again.

You probably ran mixrbld/mixdfix unnecessarily, and that caused your problems. Ok. Didn't see any warnings on them creating problems. Thought it was more like fsck. Just rebuilding the metadata from the raw messages. However, since you paraphrased the message, this is only a guess. Please do not paraphrase messages. It wastes time. My memory isn't good enough to remember the exact wording of a message 3-4 months ago I don't know how you came to that conclusion, but it is almost certainly incorrect. Hmm... If the mailbox opens, it is not corrupt in any way that mixrbld/mixdfix can remedy. So that is a good enough test? Will remember that in the future. Of course the current problem indicates tha opposite as it very well opens, but still doesn't work as expected... I saw mixrbld as a means to fix this by rebuilding the mailbox. Ran mixrdfix after this as I saw nothing at all in the mailbox after the rebuild. Now the mails are there, but half of them always marked unread. And cannot be marked as read whatever I do. I don't know what you did with mixrbld/mixdfix, but neither tool does anything with the status file, which is where seen state is kept. Is ther any documentation on mix? Just checked the source code and the actual message was from mixrbld and was the one on row 181, printf (Data file %s UID ran backwards. Isn't that out of sequence. The text out of sequence does not occur in Data file...ran backwards, and thus is a paraphrase. Please don't do that. OK. But is does mean the same thing :-) If you got a Data file...ran backwards message, it is likely that some expunge operation did not complete properly. mixrbld will recover from this. Shouldn't a rerun of mixrbld be clean in that case? mixcvt should have made a clean mailbox. Didn't do that. I suggest that you try to find some expert who is local to you to look at it. There is nothing obvious that can be diagnosed from the other side of the world. It is obvious to me that there is more to this story than what you say, but unfortunately I do not have the time to investigate it. I do know my way around C-programming and how to read manuals. Just wanted to know if there is something simple I could do before digging into a protocol analysis. Any other mix analyzing/fixing tool I can use? Unfortunately, I can't offer the same level of user assistance than I did when I was working at UW, and you seem to need much more assistance than I can offer. I'm sorry. Understandable. Just wanted pointers in the right direction (and to mix docus) Best Dag ___ Imap-uw mailing list Imap-uw@u.washington.edu http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-uw

Answering myself here: Did the following: - Copied all files in my INBOX to a new folder recover - Test access showed the same problems - deleted .mixstatus - Access gave me an error on status not available - touch .mixstatus - Reopen mailbox - Mark all read - Now they stay marked In other words: The status file is messed up by my rebuild of the mailbox Comparing the erring .mixstatus with the newly created (by the Mark all read) shows that the last 8-digit hex code is the only difference (except from an occasional flag of course) Now my question is: What does the last number mean?

[Imap-uw] imapd namespace
Hi, I see my imapd offering #mh and #mhinbox namespaces even if I don't have any MH mailboxes (any more). Is this normal? Horde and IMP webmailreaders have a problem with it as they are using the first offering as the prefix for among others the sent mailbox and so are tring to open #mh/sent.

Yes, it is normal. The NAMESPACE command reports the supported namespaces. What is supported does not changed based upon what you currently have. OK, Almost guessed that this was the case, but many thanks for confirming. Horde and IMP webmailreaders have a problem with it as they are using the first offering as the prefix for among others the sent mailbox and so are tring to open #mh/sent. That is a bug in those programs. #mh/ is NOT the first namespace offered; in fact, it's the LAST one offered. Yes, thank you. And I found the problem: As IMP was earlier using #mh/sent IMP thought that the new /sent I tried to set up was the same box as before and never changed it. Setting the sent box to something else first and then back to /sent made it behave.

Re: [Imap-uw] Mark mail as archived
Yes, you can define your own flags. The flag is created the first time it is set in a message. Thanks Mark, I now have it all almost together, just one thing is quite messy: Is there an IMAP command to only list the message id:s of messages with my user flag Archived set (or not set) ? Cannot seem to find a SELECT syntax that would do this. Best Dag ___ Imap-uw mailing list Imap-uw@u.washington.edu http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-uw

[Imap-uw] IMAP annotation utility
Hi, just in the process of converting my old MH mailstore to mix and run into a problem with my mailing list archiving connection. It would need to annotate the mail as archived when it is. My question is: Is there a simple command line utility to add an annotation to a IMAP mail? Or a Perl iinterface for ANNOTATE?

[Imap-uw] Modified MH backend
Hi there, I am still using MH here for different reasons and needed a IMAP server that can do a bit more than the current one. And so I used the source and modified the mh backend a bit getting a quite OK result. The modifications are: 1. Using the , prefix as a deleted flag for the messages. This gives me a real delete mail functionality 2. Using the sequence file for the unread attribute, so the server can indicate which mails are unread. 3. (Mark will not like this) Making the INBOX point to he MH inbox when there is a .mh_profile available in the users home directory. The code is tested quite a lot, but is still sure to contain bugs, bt if there is anyone out there that want it, just ask.
