Tim, MrSam, Michael Bowe - (Sorry for top-posting;) I do enable IMAP_Emptytrash... but here's what's confusing. This server has been running this exact configuration since January. Only in the last month have I noticed the dropped/lost messages. In that month's time, the only change to the configuration was a move from Squirrelmail v1.40RC1 to v1.4.1 (my stated version was in error on original post).
Since Squirrel can or does use its own IMAP engine (I am using Squirrel's IMAP routines), I'm starting to wonder if Squirrel is writing messages when they are touched that names/renames the message file to become "confusing" for Courier IMAP when it's time to try moving the file to another folder. I don't understand the IMAP file naming system, so this is a complete W.A.G. In a previous post, Michael Bowe noted that PHP 4.3.x has caused some problems after an IMAP mod he proposed. I am using *most* of his excellent configuration - including his proposed IMAP mod. However, since I'm losing messages when using Mozilla's IMAP client as well, I'm inclined to guess that 1) either Squirrel/PHP are "mistouching" the file/filename, or 2) Michael's IMAP mod is the problem. Tim, your microtime issue is another contender, of course, but I'm confused why it hasn't reared its head until recently..... Any takers on this line of thought? Sorry about the long post. THANKS, BTW, for the contributions so far.
