WHAT IS EATING MY MAIL?!!!!!!!!!!
I have come to realize that something is deleting email from my inbox on a regular basis. I use KMail, and have used it for years. I am not aware of having made any changes to the configuration which would tell it to delete my email. I cannot find anything in the configuration suggesting that it is configured to do so. I have lost extremely valuable information because of this. I need to stop it NOW! How can I do this? Steve

do you sure you do not thread your emails in the folder? they can be hidden below the same subject thread. Reagards, -- Marek Chlopek
Here's a good time to point out some email etiquette. No matter how important or problematic you think your issue is writing it IN ALL CAPS does not make anyone want to help you any faster. Also, exclamations and question marks do not help your cause either. Sorry, for the rant today, I couldn't stop myself. On Mon, 31 Oct 2005, Steven T. Hatton wrote:

First, how are you retreiving the email from the server. If you are using either fetchmail or smtp, you should be able to track your email via the normal log files. (eg. /var/log/mail). Another issue is possibly your SPAM filter. I found that some email from some associates was being filtered by the SpamAssasin, -- Jerry Feldman <gerald.feldman@hp.com> Linux Expertise Center (PTAC-MA/TX) Hewlett-Packard Co. 200 Forest Street MRO1-3/K12 Marlborough, MA 01752-3081 508-467-4315 (http://www.testdrive.hp.com)On Monday 31 October 2005 4:25 pm, Brad Bendily wrote:

This is my ~/Mail/inbox that is being purged. There's nothing in my inbox older than two days. There should be dozens of messages there.

I believe I found the problem. I really do not believe I set it explicitly. When I clicked on "expire" for the inbox folder I found it was set to expire mail after 7 days.

I don't believe that's my current problem. I believe I found what happened. How it got set the way it was could be due to a couple of things. My doing sysadmin after working for 28 hours. Using unsupported builds of the latest KDE. I cannot, therefore criticize SuSE or Novell. If others find a similar situation in their inbox settings, we should make sure this problem is addressed.

Create a folder called Inbox 1 and immediately move all mail there. Its an old compuserve & juno trick. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

Stop top-posting!!! -- Because it messes up the flow of reading.
How come?
I prefer to reply inline.
What do you do instead?

Do you like top-posting?
