Assembled Wisdom, I have caused some problems for myself and wanted to know how I can dig myself out of it. I am sure I am re-hashing a common question, but I want to make sure before I make matters worse. If this is not the right-place, let me know and I will ask elsewhere.
I decided to update my Fastmail account username[0], not really understanding the implications. It turns out then when I did so, many of the UUID/message-IDs for the messages in my store got updated. I am not sure they mentioned this or not, but it is definitely my fault. I left an isync/mbysync operation running overnight after I updated the username field, with a configuration resembling this.[1] As a result, it looked at all the old messages on my side (I think since I did an all or something similar dumb, filtered on my massive Archive folder, leaving only limited stuff in my Inbox) and it copied my local store messages on my laptop back onto the server. Now, I did not understand the implications, so I got what I deserved. I tried running again, and maybe a third time, with purge, but this does not seem to have an effect. I then realized I was in over my head, and left my store as is, not syncing, and relying on webmail only, or IMAP directly with mutt-kz and/or gnus in Emacs, but via network without relying on my maildirs as I would. I have not touched them since, removing mutt settings to even see them. As it now stands my mailstore had tripled in size on the Fastmail server, so I assume I now have to find a way to remove all the duplicates from my mailstore local on the laptop, and THEN apply those changes to Fastmail to get back my quota. Anyone have suggestions how I do this? Sorry for the stupid email.
