Hello.
I have been on leave for several weeks and have managed to lose all emails received since December due to a server crash.
I asked about log synch error back in March and have (repeatedly) deleted all .imap files but the errors continue.

At about the same time, I asked about fsck warnings. These also continue despite deleting all .,imap files.

The file system involved is local and sieve rules are now working.
Cheers and thanks, Stephn
