These are typical logfile messages from a user who is unable to retrieve mail. It might help me solve the problem if I knew the meaning of the various nmsgs/ndele/nseen counts. Guessing seems inappropriate. (local user and server names changed). Id string from ipop3d: '2007e'.

'mutt -f /user/mail/copy_of_pat' parses the file without difficulty, and shows the 200-some messages. I would like to figure out how to get as many as possible of these 200-some messages delivered to the user through their preferred mail-reading system (gmail). So far it seems that if any message from that troublesome set is in the mail spool file, things go badly as described above.
If your ultimate goal is to transfer the files to gmail, and you can open the spool in mutt, then you should be able to tag-all, and copy the messages to gmail via imap. -- Dan White _______________________________________________ Imap-uw mailing list [email protected] http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-uw
