Hi all, I'm still using beta8 (on FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE). Recently I put a co-worker who's using Thunderbird (1.5.0.4) on it and he seemed to have lost some messages (which were delivered on the spool since seen on procmail logfile). I switched him on another server to play safe and tried to test it myself but failed to reproduce the issue. I myself use mutt on a daily basis with no problem with that beta8. Did someone experienced the same (I read about some similar issue on the list but with maildir format - I'm using mbox) ? -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel@pasteur.fr> | P?le informatique - syst?mes et r?seau

That didn't change anything. -- Thomas Hummel | Institut Pasteur <hummel@pasteur.fr> | P?le informatique - syst?mes et r?seau

Did the user (or his client) move those messages to some other mailbox or were they lost in INBOX?> Did someone experienced the same (I read about some similar issue on > the list but with maildir format - I'm using mbox) ?I don't think it has happened with maildir either. There was a bug for a while in non-released CVS version where messages saved through Dovecot weren't properly saved into maildir.> I forgot to say that, when this occured, I fist thought about index > corruption and did the following : > > . remove the dovecot indexes for that user on the server > > . remove *.msf files on Thunderbird (my understanding beeing that > these are the local TB indexes).Just greeping the mbox file (or all of the user's mboxes) should show if it's still there. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
