I ran into this several version ago with Imail and I believe the classic
templates.

However when I went to actually delete the message(s) a message would pop
stating something to the effect that the sequence has changed and to refresh
the page. Effectively preventing the deletion of the wrong message.

Was a pain in the butt on a busy mailbox:-)

I would guess it a KWM issue. KWM needs to determine if the file has changed
since the last read and handle accordingly.

Issue is moot now since KWM and IMail are one and the same. They need to fix
it!

Subject: [imail] Wrong Messages Deleted. Very Interesting Problem


> Good morning,
>
> We are running Imail 7.13 and KWM 7.13 on a NT2000 SP2 box with about 500
accounts.
>
> I called Tech support at IPSwitch and HumanKind before the merger about
this problem but never heard back from either (other than IpSwitch saying
the felt it was a KWM issue).
>
> I am in my inbox looking at my mail.  10 spam messages and 10 real
messages.
>
> Message #1 is spam, #2 is real, #3 is spam, #4 is real and so on.
> I click the box next to the spam messages (#s 1,3,5,7,9...).
> I answer my phone (takes 10 seconds) and then click on the delete button.
>
> Now the very interesting problem.
> Messages 2,4,6,8,10... are deleted.  The real ones!
>
> What happened?  A new message arrived in the meantime but was not
displayed on screen.  So when my web page submission said "Delete messages
index #1,3,5,7,9... it had already re-indexed my messages to reflect the new
messsage.
>
> Seems that the mail is somewhere indexed with the most recent message
being #1 (wherein I would think a programmer would say the oldest message
would best be numbered #1 as it changes less frequently.
>
> Either way, I have lost some very important messages as have other people
in our organization.  (I've convinced some of them it was a "User Induced
Error" but some are too smart for that).
>
> Still not sure if it is a KWM or IMail problem but thougth I would submit
at KWM this time in writting since the last time via phone may have gotten
lost.
>
> (I still do like the KWM product and do hope IpSwitch does right by the
product.  Lots of people on this mailing list think very highly of the
people at HKSI it seems.)
>
> Thank you for reading about this most interesting problem.
