Package: offlineimap Version: 5.99.4 Severity: important I just ran offlineimap on my laptop. Before execution, there were 20 messages in my "nm" folder on the server. I believe that my local folder was entirely empty. I did have state info in ~/.offlineimap. I plain forgot that I'd deleted the local copy of my mailboxes.
After syncing, my nm folder has 4 messages in it locally and remotely. A similar story for the rest of my folders. I have a separate backup of my mailbox from an hour or two ago; I'll also preserve the state of my ~/.offlineimap post-sync. I should be able to identify mail that arrived between the backup and the sync. I'm a bit foggy this evening so I am having trouble thinking of the best approach for repairing the damage. Can you recommend an approach for restoring my mailbox? In terms of a bug report, have you considered a metric which warns the user (in interactive contexts - heck, maybe bail out in non-interactive ones) when the sync seems to involve a large amount of deletions? Perhaps generalizing a metric is not straightforward... -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages offlineimap depends on: ii python 2.4.4-6 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-support 0.7.5 automated rebuilding support for p offlineimap recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
