Hi Andy,
Thanks for the tip! Much appreciated. Just out of curiosity, you have a fairly large userbase over there at oregon state (I used some of your migration scripts--Thanks!!), have you run into any data loss like this before with entire folders or several messages just getting mysteriously deleted? What version do you run over there?
Nope, things have been solid over here. I haven't run into a situation like yours though, so I can't say what cyrus would do. However, I have killed imapd processes by hand (to clear out ones that occasionally hang holding a lock), and so far there have been no bad consequences. I'm running 2.1.16 right now.
We also have nightly backups, so we can recover (more or less) from losing a folder.
