Troubleshooting method #26 : process of elimination... Does the problem occur for IMAP access that does *not* include squirrelmail? (you said "mainly through squirrelmail" - we need to know *specifically* - we're looking for a computer problem here, not a paint color... :-) Also, the read and delete operations in IMAP are different (I think) when passed to the OS. Are you *sure* both scenarios cause the problem? Likewise, can you consistently reproduce the problem (relating to the above)? If so, how? > So, i suspect it's related to Fedora 2 and courier-imap (as from my post > title) and seek for thelp in this maillist. That's well and fine that you've narrowed it down to one of those two. But, based on historical data, the problem is *neither* of those two. FC2 is quite stable, and from what I can recall, was a Courier development platform for several months. > I still have no solution yet, as no one encountered similar problem > before, but happens to me for every fedora 2 + qmail + courier-imap. > > i guess it's not qmail problem because it's not qmail's responsibility to > deliver email to mailbox ( i used vmailmgr, and vmailmgr never produce > these dead file in "new" folder ) > > any more idea? Are you doing "stock" FC2 installs? Have you used rpm "--force"? As we've mentioned, something is seriously borked with these servers, and only something *unusual* would get them to this point. jerry ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
