Visit the directory in dired or something, and rename all the crash folders to something else so that you don't lose them. You can always visit these folders in VM later and save the messages into other folders. Reset all your configuration settings to original values and check to see that you have the original functionality at least. After you get back to normal, I would like you to set your RMAIL and .record crash boxes to be consistent with your vm-crash-box-suffix, i.e., add ".crash" suffix to the folder's name without any other alterations. Let us see if that fixes your problem. Cheers, Uday -- IMAP dropping message to crash file, freezing emacs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/285222 You received this bug notification because you are a member of VM development team, which is the registrant for vm. Status in View Mail (aka VM) for Emacs: In Progress Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: In Progress Bug description: affects viewmail importance critical Hi, I'm having some problems using emacs 23 from CVS, and VM 591 from the bzr repo. First, when collecting messages from my work's IMAP server, they invariably end up in my mail.crash file, then I have to `vm-get-new- mail' again to recover the messages. Note collecting from a another pop mailbox works fine. from my *Messages* buffer: Checking for new mail for /home/eschulte/mail/mitre... Recovering messages from ~/mail/mitre.crash... Added to /home/eschulte/mail/mitre Recovering messages from ~/mail/mitre.crash... done Second, VM continually freezes my emacs, at first I thought this was because it was collecting mail, so I set `vm-auto-get-new-mail' to nil, but still VM will burn my CPU and freeze my emacs for 5-20 seconds at a time. Does anyone have any advice for what may be going wrong, or how I can generate a more helpful error report?
