Janos,

Removing the rows from the metadata and rcpt tables and then reimporting 
appears to have done the trick.

Thank you!

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] DO NOT CLICK links or attachments unless you recognize the 
sender and know the content is safe.

that's a tricky one. As I mentioned, piler discard these emails, because they 
already exist in the metadata table. You have 2 options:

a) the "cannot open()" issue indicated that the given file is not present in 
the store directory structure. So option #1 is to get your backup, and restore 
the missing files

b) if you don't have backups, then try removing the affected emails from both 
the metadata and rcpt tables. Also you have the attachment table which stores 
info to reassemble emails with attachments. Since an attachment may be present 
in several emails, I'm not sure if you should remove any rows from the 
attachment table.

Anyway, be sure to backup the piler mysql database.
