Re: XCmail: xc-mail 2.0

[Jürgen Schmitz]

Hm, so if xcmail crashed during writing a folder this couldn't happen,
xcmail creates a temporary folder, write all mail into it and then removes
the original and renames the new one.

Maybe you had a disk full - however this should also be seen by xcmail -
but of course this is not always easy to test.
