I noticed that this was only happening on two folders: ~/Maildir/ and ~/Maildir/.Corz/ . These two folders are delivered into using safecat, which I recently upgraded. The new version of safecat changed the naming convention of the files in the maildir, and they now look like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2,S [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2,S [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2,S [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2,S [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2,S [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2,RS [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2,S And here is an entry from the logs: 2003-06-20 12:00:47.239988500 11598 00000 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:] Client connected to Binc IMAP from 127.0.0.1 2003-06-20 12:00:47.255696500 11599 00000 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:] User <cwright> entered authenticated mode. 2003-06-20 12:00:47.283835500 11599 00001 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:] found a recent message with uid 59 _after_ one that had no uid 2003-06-20 12:00:47.305510500 11599 00002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:] Error when processing SELECT: unable to open "INBOX", uidvalidity bounced 2003-06-20 12:00:47.371011500 11599 00003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:] Error from client: undefined or disallowed in current state Another strange thing is that it only happens *every other* time that I try to access the folder. It works, then it doesn't, then it does, then it doen't again. > It often happens when sysadmins upgrade or move a depository to a machine > whose clock is set wrong, a message gets delivered, and then the clock is > adjusted back to normal.
