What OS/filesystem do you use? I don't see how this is possible. The
mails are first written to tmp/ directory and then they're atomically
rename()d to the new/ or cur/ directory.


times/sec while delivering 40MB mails to the maildir. The size was
always correct.

I also tested this myself, rapidly sending the same FETCH command 1000

I'm using standard out of the box Redhat EL 4 with an ext3 filesystem.

Since I can reproduce it easily on different RHEL4 machines, tell me what additional information you'd like.

Can you reproduce it without your IMAP client? For example using imaptest (http://imapwiki.org/ImapTest) as the client and running:

./imaptest logout=0 - fetch=100 user=testuser pass=testpass host=imap.host.org Or if you can give me access to some server where you can instruct me how to reproduce it, that would work too.
