Do you use INDEX=MEMORY?
Do you mean this?; default_mail_env = maildir:%h/Maildir/:INDEX=MEMORY
Yes. OK, got it :) It happens with INDEX=MEMORY. Included patch should fix it.
Beaut, thanks. I'll apply it later today and report back.
One more piece of information I've discovered which may help though; I changed the mail checking interval from five minutes to thirty minutes and then left the mail client running overnight. It did _not_ die. There was only five occurences of any one .customflags file open, whereas there should have been around fifteen (and therefore it would have locked up).
Maybe the opened files are timing out after a period of maybe two or three hours? Therefore the problem had been there all along (on my system, anyway) until a week or so ago when I changed from ten minute intervals to five minute intervals. ie; I'm opening the files faster than they timeout and close.
What do you think? Or have I gone completely mad? ;-)
cheers!
