Hello all, For some time already I noticed that my incoming mails are sometimes disappearing from my inbox. They have enough time to show up on my phone (FairEmail client). First I thought it's only the mails I send to myself via cron (for people asking: calendar output and a todo file), but it just recently affected a mail I got from ori (who kindly sent the mail again so I can read it). Here are some conditions for mails that are affected and also some details: Only mails in my personal inbox (mbox directory) are affected. Mails that are filtered and go to a different directory (ahemm, mailing lists) were never removed from their directory. I can see the mails arriving on my phone for a short amount of time (~1 second) and it feels like I can open them when I click the notification fast enough. Sometimes however, I am just directed to my inbox directory and the mail is missing. The mails are really removed, not just hidden from imap. I wasn't able to find the mails in the box directories, the queue or any tmp directory that's used while processing. I might have a weird configuration somehow. Did someone else notice any similar issues? Any idea what might be wrong? Using upas for years now and the issue wasn't bad for me personally until a day ago when ori sent me that mail... sirjofri

The only thing I can think of here is an imap bug or a pipe
bug. What happens if you put a log message and early return
here:
/sys/src/cmd/upas/imap4d/mbox.c:464: deletemsg(Box *box, Msgset *ms)

I will try that. It's always hard to test things that work most of the
time and only occasionally fail.
I'll report back. It can take a day or so since I only have two daily
mails that almost reliably fail.

Hey all, reporting back,

I recently did a full update of the server. I only do this every few
months since the server runs stable.
After the last update I seem to receive all daily mails reliably, and can
delete them manually like usual.
Ori, I didn't try the early return.
I hope the issue is fixed (for whatever reasons).
