    Hello everyone

    I have a strange problem at the moment. I am running Cyrus IMAP on MacOS X 10.3.9.

    I have a user with 300+ messages in it. I have just fixed the 10.3.9 issue regarding 0 timestamps on messages which was detailed on this site – Repairing Cyrus on 10.3.9.

    I now have another problem, however. I have restored mail for this user who has 340 or so messages in his account. However, after receiving another few mails, all the old mails disappear from webmail (SquirrelMail) and only the recently sent messages are available. Performing a reconstruction of the Cyrus system (removing /var/imap and rebuilding databases) fixes the problem – makes old mail available again – but it reoccurs after a few days.

    I am using Procmail to process mail, SpamAssassin and Postfix.

    Can anyone help? I am going nuts 🙂

    Could it be something to do with changing uid’s on the messages? I have read this elsewhere but don’t know how to fix it.

    Thanks

    I should say that all message headers remain in /var/spool/imap.

    Is it an expiration problem? I am stuck.
