Hi Alex,

I am sort of torn between two lovers. My service provider has put in some restrictions and i am sure if you were my service provider (ded ser) and in case you put this temporary restriction on server access i am sure you would expect me to follow it.

Again, i have not yet given up. I again did a fresh test install (APOP mode) just to check on the purge issue.

Pulled in 60 mails from a remote account and then did 2 messages at a time purge from trash (delete->trash->purge_trash).

Readings I am only giving the relevant portions of the consistency.pl:

Start After pulling in 60 messages:

Messages in database: 60 ...... 0 messages were on disk and not in the database

Messages in database: 58 ..... 5 messages were on disk and not in the database

Messages in database: 56 ..... 9 messages were on disk and not in the database

Messages in database: 54 ..... 13 messages were on disk and not in the database

Messages in database: 52 ..... 17 messages were on disk and not in the database

Messages in database: 50 ..... 22 messages were on disk and not in the database

Then simply purged all messages in on the system (50remaining messages)

Messages in database: 0 ..... 185 messages were on disk and not in the database

Then checked the /data/msgs tree:

The details are at http://gcoe.org/msgs.txt

The 185 count is perfect if each of the mesages are counted.

They are definitely not removed frpm the disk and the databse is cleaned up. The 185 count is also perfect. Also the 60 msgs pulled in count is also ok. 185 seems to be coming up from the txt/html part , attachments etc....

That should possibly give some clue as regards the number which is counted as being on disk....

Any clues.

Edit--

BTW: This is version 2.1.1 of GM and not 2.1.0 which is there on working installation.
