Chris, I am still having the multiple unpack of some emails because they are not getting deleted from the temp incoming folder. (Dual G4 1 gig)
When I move the entire mail application to my Power Book G3 10.2.8 I don't have this problem. At one point I understood that the .DStore is saved somewhere else and even if you throw out the temp incoming folder, this file is still the same. Is this true and could I have a bad incoming temp file? How can I delete ALL information concerning the incoming temp folder? The multiple unpack occurs when you either connect again or quit and start the program again. I have tried everything that has been suggested on this mail board and nothing has worked. This also does not happen every time and I can find no correlation as to what the difference is. In addition, (may or may not be related) whenever I have to rebuild my database file, some of the folder information is scrambled and alot (not all) of the files I have put in other folders ends back up in my in box folder. -Brian >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (chris) >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Dave Nathanson), [EMAIL PROTECTED] >(Emailer Talk) >> Just don't open the "Temp Incoming" folder and it will always work fine. >> >>What happens is that Mac OS X put an invisible file (named ".DStore") >>into folders to remember certain folder prefs.
