I'd look into the situation where the user expunges a folder. When the mbox gets rewritten, maybe the from_offset values aren't updated or something to reflect the new offset. That's all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure this avenue has probably been explored before, but maybe something got missed. > Thinking about the amount of time this bug has been there for (primarily > with our mbox implementation) , I thought of making some change which > could benefit more rather than trying to just fix this.
