PINE sees that the messages in the selected mailbox have been expunged: . NOOP * 1 EXPUNGE . OK Completed It would need to do a 'LIST "" *' to spot that the list of available mailboxes had changed. I've just trying forcing this and it doesn't seem to unselect the deleted mailbox. It is possible that it would sort itself out eventually, but the deleted mailbox was still selected after several minutes. > Yeah, sorry - short of forcibly killing the connection, there's not much > we can do about this without breaking the guarantees that messages are > still available. Fair enough. I don't know whether this is actually a problem yet, I just noticed a difference in behaviour from 2.3.X in my testing. -- David Carter Email: David.Carter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx University Computing Service, Phone: (01223) 334502 New Museums Site, Pembroke Street, Fax: (01223) 334679 Cambridge UK.
