Thanks for your response Rudy. Is this bug merely causing a cosmetic error or will this stop my transfers from working? At present the system appears to be functioning normally, except for the fact that deleted & purged messages whilst not displaying in the client still appear in the user's mailbox on the filesystem, but I think this may be a feature of normal behaviour. -----Original Message----- From: Rudy Gevaert [mailto:Rudy.Gevaert@xxxxxxxx] Sent: 26 October 2007 12:08 To: Edward Prendergast Cc: info-cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: replication - correct way to transfer a mailbox?

This is fixed in 2.3.10 :) Now the create on the master triggers a create on the replica.
