That thought had crossed my mind, but I'm quite certain that that's not it (or not the whole story). Indeed, no new mail messages delivered to this user's mailbox ever appear in the IMAP client (verified by direct connection using imtest). For instance, can you take a look at message UID 23487 in that mailbox? That message was delivered yesterday evening before I did the reconstruction, and did not appear in the user's mailbox until I reconstructed the mailbox. I've verified in the logs that this user hasn't connected via POP, so it's not that he's fetching and immediately deleting the messages. It's possible that a lot of those older messages were deleted and expunged (perhaps by being refiled by his mail client), and I've just resurrected them all, but that doesn't explain the failure of new messages to appear in the index. And at this point, I'm afraid to turn off delayed expunge, since I don't know which messages should really be expunged, and which should appear. - Geoff ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/ To Unsubscribe: https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/mailman/listinfo/info-cyrus
