Or diff the ctl_mboxlist -d outputs. You should check the subscriptions on the replica too. I don't know of a simple way for you to verify the subscriptions other than software that fetches and compares each each users subscriptions. Subscription replication is the only replication problem I am seeing these days and I haven't had time to look into it. Well, that's not completely true. I have seen some cases where the bits controlling the POP3 UIDL format will differ on the replicas. If all mailboxes were created fairly recently, for some value of recent, or you have no POP3 users, you should not have a problem. I have mailboxes that were originally created with early 1.X and lots of POP3 users. The UIDL format has changed over the years and we have yet another UIDL format that attempts to get around the Outlook problem. The jury is still out on that. The UIDL format difference are only a problem if mail is left on server.
