Hiya,
For the last 2 years I have been archiving structurally all my
gentoo-user mails I have received into MySQL. In the last few months I
have noticed that I have been receiving more and more broken threads
(In-Reply-To and References), indicating missing mails from those threads.
At present I use gmail to receive the mail which is then downloaded via
fetchmail to my imap server. Recently I added the
gmane.linux.gentoo.user newsgroup to my thunderbird to make some
comparisons between that I am receiving and what they are receiving. To
my surprise I am missing between 1 and 4 messages per thread (of more
than let's say 10 messages).
It is not a threading problem, and not a pop3 problem ~ I can confirm
that what I have in gmail is what I have locally.
To give some examples of totals in some larger threads over the last
couple of days:
Subject Local gmane
"Kde menu" 11 12
"MythTV vs. Gentoo VDR" 9 10
"PORTAGE_ELOG error" 24 28
"strange [ file" 27 31
"can't install ati-drivers" 13 16
"How packages becomes stable?" 8 9
"Unable to mount root fs on uknown - block (0,0)" 14 17
I have confirmed that that I have locally is exactly what I have in
gmail, so the problem is not local, and they are not caught anywhere in
gmail's spam filters.
What I am trying to work out if if it's just me having an issue with
gmail (which I will confront the gmail team there about), or if the
gentoo-user mailing server is skipping addresses or having issues
sending. Tracing mail logs over a few days to check threads can be a
painfully annoying job ;-)
I am subscribed to other lists too which I seem to be having absolutely
no problems with, although they are somewhat less active than the
gentoo-user one.
Are any of you (gmail or not) having the same problem? What is the
correct way to go about locating and confronting this issue?
Thanks for any advise.
Ralph

i hear that it's a "problem" with gmail, it would seem that if you sent the mail to a thread it doesn't show up in your inbox.. as it already has a copy and isn't "new" mail
