Hello,
So i had this email in my inbox, i moved it to Folder1/tickets/
folder, then i decided to move the same email back to my inbox and
when i went to the inbox it wasnt there nor in Folder1/tickets/
folder...
I opened a SSH session to the mail server and went to /srv/mail/
vmail/DOMAIN.COM/rventura/Maildir
There i did "ll expunged/.INBOX/cur" and it showed me 300+ emails i
then did "cat expunged/.INBOX/cur/the email i needed" and it showed
me the email contents and since it was the one i needed i then try to
do "mv expunged/.INBOX/cur/email-id" and it returned:
mv: cannot stat `expunged/.INBOX/cur/
1248796845.M207411P29102.housigma20,W=6193:2,STab': No such file or
directory
I do another "ll expunged/.INBOX/cur/" returns total 0..... WTF
happened to all my items..?
