Package: offlineimap Version: 6.3.3-3 Severity: normal I'm a fresh user of offlineimap. I have, on my IMAP server, only a handful of folders, and they're all tiny (up to a few dozen messages, at most), except for to: Archive and Sent, each of which has more than 20 thousands mail.
Several times now, offlineimap has decided to re-sync the entire folders. This takes quite a while, and uses quite a lot of bandwidth, enough so that when this happens, I can't use offlineimap unless I'm at home (and then preferably only at night, when bandwidth is cheaper for me). It seems that something deletes the mails locally, since the files are gone from the Maildir when I look at the problem. The problem has occurred between two consecutive runs of offlineimap, without me touching the Maildirs at all (a few minutes between the runs). As far as I know, the only thing touching them is offlineimap. (Unless it's a very weird bug in ext4 or something...) I am using stable, but with offlinemap backported from testing/unstable (manually rebuilt it without changes), to fix a problem (though I now forget what it was). I tried enabling debug logging, but since I don't talk IMAP, it's pretty much useless for me. Is there something I can do to debug this? (Not attching the log I have from one of the instances where the problem occurs, since it seems offlineimap logs may include passwords.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages offlineimap depends on: ii python 2.6.6-3+squeeze6 interactive high-level object-orie ii python-support 1.0.10 automated rebuilding support for P offlineimap recommends no packages.
