Thanks again. That's great. I checked through a few individual messages then got bored, but they indeed look like they are duplicates. Oddly enough the messages were all from a contiguous block around 31 October to 7 November. At least that made them easy to delete! For future reference, the command I used to check through my mailboxes for orphaned messages was > find ~/.mail/ -maxdepth 3 -mindepth 3 -name .mbsyncstate -print0 | xargs -0 > grep '^0 ' -l Apart from that block of 26 messages, I also found another orphan from two years ago in another mailbox, so it's pretty rare, but has happened more than once for me. Thanks again for all your help Oswald. _______________________________________________ isync-devel mailing list isync-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/isync-devel
