The latest MailMate update notice (Version 1.8 (4214)) came in while I was composing an message and without thinking about it, I said to install. It quit, came up, and then asked me if I wanted to import my auto-saved draft. I said yes.

The next dialog that came up said:

Message body for msg id 329797 not found (Messages/IMAP/khinckley%[email protected]/Drafts.mailbox/Messages/329797.eml)

And indeed, checking the Drafts directory said it wasn't there. I certainly didn't want to do a database rebuild, so I told it to ignore and restart. Same thing.

So this time I manually copied a different .eml file to 329797.eml and told it to restart.

Again it came up and asked me if I wanted to import the auto-saved draft. I said yes.

And it all worked. Not only that. It actually loaded the saved draft, and 329797.eml in the Draft's directory is now the correct auto-saved draft (I thought for sure I'd lost it).

I'd guess that there's either a race condition, or something is checking for the existence if the draft file when it shouldn't.

That is a problem I have noticed, too. Not only for version 4214. It seems to happen when I haven't saved the daft manually. It is possible to solve the issue and avoid a rebuilt of the database by discarding the draft but that this isn't a good solution is obvious...
