Jim,
I have a user with a similar problem only he's not using the KWM. We're
running Imail 6 and he's using Outlook as his client setup for IMAP4. He
has messages that are randomly disappearing too. Any ideas?

Sincerely,
Scott Heath

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.
