This is a bug I have been expieriencing for a long time. I use IMAP and allow 2000 mails in my inbox.
Occasionately when I polled new mail there are only those few new ones in the inbox and all the old ones seem to have vanished. Even after a new sync! If I delete those new ones the inbox is even empty. It stays still empty after a further sync. This really confused me the first times I had this. Where is all my old mail? The solution is very easy: Leave the account and open it again. All old mails are back again. I have not been able to find out why and when this happens. It just is occasionately without any reason. This clearly is a bug that should be fixed! -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Patricia Hughes <[email protected]> Gesendet: 20.

It's happened before under a fairly clear set of circumstances and I've now put in place a workaround - but a fix would be better. Anyway.... I have a POP3 account. I set its mailbox size in K-9 Mail to 100 messages. Unusually, an occasion arose when there were more than 100 messages to pick up. When I manually polled that account - I don't do push mail - it grabbed the first 100, and just deleted/overwrote the emails that were already in my Inbox. They're not in the Trash (which, by the way, regularly has more than 100 mails in it). Where did they go? Can I get them back? If K-9 had added the feature that I've been *begging* for for years, that of at least one other folder as a temporary holding place, this problem would not have arisen. Thanks for an otherwise great product which I've been using for many years. -- Diese Nachricht wurde von meinem Android-Mobiltelefon mit K-9 Mail gesendet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "K-9 Mail" group.
