Greetings: I have been having an issue with mbox corruption with two users: one who uses both a Mac and an iPhone and another using both Mac and iPod.
In both cases, the head of the mbox becomes corrupted such that: 1) the normal "folder internal data" message is no longer there 2) the first message in the mbox is missing the "FROM" line and the first few lines of the message header contain garbled characters. Once in this state, imap returns errors when the user attempts to read the mailbox. I have been manually deleting everything from the top of the mbox to the beginning of the next complete message - to fix the corruption. Interestingly, while this fixes the immediate problem, I note the folder internal data message never gets put back at the top. I suspect maybe this is because the user isn't using folders?? I saw a similar thread in the archive a few years back - but didn't see a post indicating the resolution. I am running Debian Lenny. The UW package version reported in Debian notation is 7:2007b~dfs. Thanks, Neal Morgan _______________________________________________ Imap-uw mailing list [email protected] http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-uw
