No. This was not related to IMAP. In this particular case I was not using IMAP.
Excellent, this, and other things you send, are exactly what I needed to know. The problem you have is a problem with Alpine. I have tried the same configuration in unpatched alpine at I see the bug. Have you tried that? If not, please confirm this. What I am trying to say, is that this is a bug in Alpine, not in all.patch. But why do you see the problem in all.patch? Well that's a longer explanation, but here it goes. There are big differences between the patches in 10.2 and 10.3. More that I could remember. I remember that the reason why Bernhard upgraded the patch was because of a bug in the fillpara patch. However, between the released all.patch that Bernhard used for 10.2 and the one he used for 10.3, there were more differences than that. In particular, there was a patch by Steve Hubert (of the Pine team at the time), that made Pine preserve the order of messages when an aggregate save was done between folders of different formats. <technical part> This part had to do with streams. In particular, setting the stream of the target. Before this change, pine set the stream of the target to be the stream of the source, but with the change it set it to NULL. Due to this, an essential part of the code that sets the DELETED flag in the target folder is not executed. Hence the bug. </technical part> That same code became part of Alpine, so the same problem exists in Alpine. I will try to look for a solution that sets the deleted flag in the same way that was done in 10.2, but in the mean time, there is a way to overcome this problem (for Alpine), through a new patch in my page (address below). That patch works because it sets the deleted flag on the message in the target folder, since that other part of the code that needs the save_stream does not have one. I hope that this makes sense. Reinhard, does it make sense to backport a fix to Pine 4.64 or are you moving away from Pine? -- Eduardo http://staff.washington.edu/chappa/alpine/ -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
