Hi,
and see how many messages it reports.
x select INBOX
- FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft)
- OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)] Flags permitted.
- 0 EXISTS
- 0 RECENT
- OK [UIDVALIDITY 1114699589] UIDs valid
- OK [UIDNEXT 7485] Predicted next UID x OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed.
I also did the following:
x uid search *
- SEARCH
- BYE Mailbox is in inconsistent state, please relogin.
Now I got the following:
x select INBOX
- FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft)
- OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen \Draft \*)] Flags permitted.
- 74 EXISTS
- 0 RECENT
- OK [UNSEEN 1] First unseen.
- OK [UIDVALIDITY 1114699589] UIDs valid
- OK [UIDNEXT 7485] Predicted next UID x OK [READ-WRITE] Select completed.
In pop3, it works, too.
I gather from your second message that you're using Maildirs rather than mbox
Thats correct.
It may also be worth deleting the indexes (in the .imap directory, I think - can't remember for sure in Maildirs) see doc/index.txt and doc/mail-storages.txt
The problem is, that not all mailboxes do have IMAP access. POP3 is the basic, IMAP uses a different passwd-file. So with POP3, I had no chance to reorganize the index and the inconsistent state hasn't been detected. And one question remains: How can this happen? The mailbox contained about 4500 messages in the INBOX.
