Weird vanishing e-mail question
Hi all, I've been using Cyrus-imap for ages. Its excellent. Currently on 2.3.7 on a Centos 5 setup. I was editing a mail using Seamonkey as the mua on one machine. I saved the mail to drafts and opened it on another machine again with Seamonkey, made the changes I wanted and saved the mail to drafts again. The draft message has vanished. Both machines had active sessions to Cyrus at the same time. I have seen this previously, but I had put some care into the wording of the message I was writing. Opening the draft mailbox with mutt reveals no trace of the message. Searching directly in the filesystem on the imap server for files created today reveals the expected things, (such as this message in draft form), but not the vanished message. Any ideas? Have I triggered an anomaly? Thanks Ken -- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

No the 2nd Seamonkey is set to save drafts into the drafts on the imap
server. I've looked in its local drafts - no trace.
No delayed expunge.
I re-written the mail.
Its a puzzle. Oh well
:-) Ken
