I use nnimap-split-fancy to split all incoming mail. Following the corruption, I got no indication that INBOX was corrupted and mail just kept piling up in there. I got suspicious after seemingly not receiving any email for a day! I was hoping that there were some way that Gnus could warn me when this situation occurred. When I tried accessing the corrupted INBOX with other IMAP clients (pine and Evolution), I was given clear indication that something was wrong. -- :: Nevin :: nevin@jhu.edu ::
