can you check if the missing emails are in the new directory on host B?
I cannot now. I did not think about that possibility when listing the contents of directories and have not checked the new directory.
My guess is that the missing emails appeared on host A in new and were replicated to host B in new. Then the imap client connected to host A moved them from new to cur on host A and that such movement is not subject to replica. So long as the emails have been replicated to either new or cur on host B, then it should not be an issue about losing emails if host A goes down, since connecting an imap client to host B will move the emails to cur (that is no replication involved).
I have observed my servers for a few days and this is exactly what happens
- some mails are still in new/ on host B. The whole issue is nonexsitent.
Thanks for the hint.
