Hi,

I have a problem which might be related to dbmail. Might be Outlook only. Only one user has this very peculiar bug, although others use exactly the same software.

I haven't seen it in action myself, only the results. So the explanation might be a bit vague. I'm hoping someone else has seen this and has more info.

Every morning she gets spam to her Inbox, so she moves it to another IMAP folder called spam on the same IMAP account for relearning. When that happens, the moved messages in the Inbox folder are displayed as deleted (strike through) by Outlook. That's Outlook behavior.

Now she presses the "Purge" button and what happens instead of the strike through messages disappearing is that they multiply and are not marked as deleted anymore.

So instead of the message(s) disappearing you get lots duplicates. The number of duplicates varies, sometimes two sometimes more. And the worst part is this does not happen always. For example today she didn't have that problem, the day before she had.

I'm still at dbmail version 2.2.2. The Outlook client is version 2000 SP-3 9.0.0.6627. And I know Outlook is the worst for IMAP, but I can't change that now.

I have to admit that the mail/IMAP server is under heavy load, swaps a lot. I'm currently searching for more RAM.

I can't reproduce it, haven't even seen this live. As far as I know only this one user is affected.

Ideas?

Thanks for reading,

            Alex
