We have a user who reported that "all their mail before Monday" had
disappeared. I'm not sure what exactly that means.
However ... while looking for backups (created using amanda) I found
a backup set containing a corrupted mailbox. The directory contains:
-rw------- 1 amanda disk 1348761 Oct 30 04:28 .mix4540cf00
-rw------- 1 amanda disk 4477 Oct 30 04:28 .mixindex
-rw------- 1 amanda disk 44 Oct 30 04:28 .mixmeta
-rw------- 1 amanda disk 3887 Oct 29 15:32 .mixsortcache
-rw------- 1 amanda disk 2041 Nov 1 16:25 .mixstatus
The index shows 58 messages but there are only 20 in .mix4540cf00
If I look with Pine the first 38 are garbled in the index and crash Pine
if selected; the 20 real ones seem OK.
I did wonder if amanda had copied the files right when they changed so
that they don't correspond, but on reflection I don't think so.
THe save set is stamped 05:30 and there was a message arrived at 04:28
corresponding to the mailbox timestamps.
This was with 2006c.374
