Dear All

I have 195 files in $HOME/.Sent/cur and I see that I have 195 messages
in the Sent folder when looking at the folder overview screen in SqWebMail.

But when I open the Sent folder in SqWebMail I only see 2 mails.

I copied mail files from a backup into the users $HOME/.Sent/cur and it
seems that these files do not show up in the sent folder in SqWebMail.

Any hints?

Thanks a lot

Hey Thomas,

Are they proper maildir mail messages? Generally I think you're supposed
to have software handle delivering messages into Maildirs. Just copying
random files into the cur directory might not work. They have to follow
the Maildir naming conventions, etc.

This is probably not the problem (if you copied messages from another
Maildir into there, then it should probably work most of the time), but
it's the most obvious thing to check.

Hi Bijan

Thanks for the answer.

I checked the files in $HOME/Maildir/.Sent/cur and saw that the files I
had copied in did not have the right owner.

I corrected the owner and expected everything to be ok but still I don't
see the mail in SqWebMail send folder.

And yes, I believe the files are correct maildir files. Files were
copied ind from a previous version of Courier maildir structure.

Below you see three files - I got the list (list is reduced below) by
grepping for Subject: in $HOME/Maildir/.Sent/cur.

The last two mails show up in SqWebMail but the first one does not!

You have to copy the files into /new/ and the next time you use an
imap/Webmail client, courier-imap move the files from itself into /cur/
and register the files in /courierimapuiddb correctly to show up.

Forgotten one thing:

if you move the files into /new/ with the file extension ":2,S" then it
will be automaticaly maked as read. Using no extension, let them show
up as new.
