I've been using sup (next branch) for a week or so, and no crashes so far. But I'm still having problems with occasional lost messages. Messages that were definitely in the index in the evening are gone when I start sup again the next morning. I've recovered them by doing a sup-sync --all, but I'm still puzzled by what's going on.
This has happened twice that I've noticed, and in both cases the message that got lost was part of a thread in which I was participating, and was in the inbox. It could be that other messages got lost in other threads that I was ignoring, but I didn't notice it because I was ignoring those threads :-) . When I first noticed this a couple of weeks ago, I thought it might have something to do with fetchmail running in the background. I changed things around so that fetchmail is only running in the background when sup is not running. When sup is running, it invokes fetchmail via the poll hook. But this doesn't seem to have had any effect on the lost message problem. This is just idle, uninformed speculation, but maybe some records that were in the in-memory index didn't get written to disk when sup exited? Would neglecting to use the '$' command do this? _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
