An old one which has finally got some feedback recently. Quoting original reporter: ------- In my IMAP cache, I have lots of mails, whose filenames are just the UID of the message on the server. On the server, I have split folders to archive previous years' messages: + Bugzilla + 2007 + 2008 + 2009 This seems to fail with the on-disk IMAP cache, because it can't allow both a message and a folder called "2009". This causes cache inconsistency problems, where I can no longer access any mail in the 2009 folder. Looking at IMAP logs, the server is happy with the transfer, then it fails to write the file locally, gives up, and displays its usual "this message is not available" error: This message can't be displayed. This is probably due to a network error. Use 'View Log' in the Tools menu for more information. The IMAP log window claims: ... [11:56:07] IMAP4> 14221 SELECT "Bugzilla.2009.M01" [11:56:07] IMAP4< * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen) [11:56:07] IMAP4< * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen \*)] ...
