This problem persists in squeeze. IMHO, it needs to have a higher priority! Corrupting mailboxes is not cool.
The solution, I believe, is to abandon uw-imapd!UW-IMAP project is dead upstream - or rather the main developer was laid off and continued the project, commercially licensed under a different name.
Library part of the project (libc-client) cannot easily be gotten rid of, as it is used by e.g. PHP and Asterisk. But the daemons can - dovecot is my recommendation, and other alternatives exist too.
Question then, related specifically to this bugreport, is then:Is this issue so severe that we should consider ripping out the daemons also from the stable release of Debian?
I think not - the original reporter of this bug describes it as occurring only on "rare occasions".
Others please provide your opinion on this. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
