I closed down the iBook that evening and came back the next day to finish sorting the thousands of messages... and they weren't there. Mail (the name of the OS X e-mail program )on the iBook connected to Dovecot IMAP on the SUSE box and presented me with... a few hundred messages in total, from today's mail nothing previous. There should have been thousands from the past five or six weeks.
You might want to check the hard disk of OS X, to make sure Mail hasn't downloaded the email and then deleted them from the server You might also want to make sure there aren't any hidden (unsubscribed) folders on the IMAP server. Many email clients will default to a setting of "show only subscribed folders", so if your email has been moved to another folder on the server, they would become "hidden" Unfortunately I've focused on Cyrus IMAP, so I have no idea where dovecot stores its email, so I couldn't tell you where to look for it -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
