Greetings,
Last night I upgraded my imap/pop servers (on Mac OS X) to 2006c from
b. This morning I began having problems with my mail client (Apple
Mail v2.1 (752/752.2)) suddenly reporting that all messages in some
mailboxes (folders) were unread. Even after marking them read it
would happen again a little while later.
Then, upon closer inspection, I found that ALL allegedly permanent
flags have been lost on these mailboxes. One important archive
mailbox with 4389 messages I know had about one third of those
messages "flagged". Now, zero flagged messages. (Sigh.)
All of these mailboxes are mix format.
The only triggering event I could see was that all of the effected
mailboxes had messages appended or moved to them by the client. Some
were manually dragged by me, some triggered by rules run on the
client and some were deletions which I've set the client to do by
moving them to a Trash folder.
No other software (on the client or server) changed and since
reverting back to 2006b the problem has not recurred, though all of
the lost flags are still lost.
Anyone else seeing strange wholesale corruption/loss of message flags?
I'd be happy to help debug this but will likely have to do so this
evening at home. My imap connection is via TLS and that makes it
pretty hard to snoop the IMAP conversation. At home I could run 2006c
again and connect without TLS for debugging purposes.
Thanks,
-Mike
