Good news: yes, that is the problem.
:^) or :^(
Bad news: the imap server and the pop server are not synced. I started getting all my emails since 2007-12-28, so I had to kill fetchmail, which must be thousands. I'll have to return to imap :-(
I believe that they mark differently
And on 2007-12-28 I got my first bad mail from them, so it seems I switched to imap on that date.
I wonder if they know? Reporting problems to gmail is not that easy, I think.
Yes, I had more difficulty determining the problem than dealing with novell's bugzilla, which is much easier now :^)
Curious! If I had kept a diary of what I changed when, I could have discovered that the culprit was imap myself. But I'm not that meticulous. Or fastidious, I think is the English word.
I believe either would be applicable in this instance, or at least in the same ballpark. I'm going to confuse the issue with coloquialisms here :^) for what it's worth, I keep a local database of the last three months message traffic and one of the message ids. I use procmail to check against each message id for dups and segregate matches. In the last three years I have never had a false positive. So, when I switched back to pop, I dl'ed a lot of mail, but didn't have to sort thru the dups. If you are using fetchmail to gmail, it will only retrieve *new* mail unless you configure it otherwise. It will only see mail in the http *inbox*. Make sure that you have moved anything you don't want to retrieve from the *inbox* to "all mail". -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
