Weird mutt bug (?)
Nik Reiman
I'm relatively new to this newsgroup, but have been using mutt
successfully for several months now. At any rate, I'm using mutt to
connect to my IMAP mailserver over SSL. Mutt can do everything just
fine (authenticate, read, write, etc), but the only problem occurs when
I try to delete messages, then synchronize the changes by pressing "$".
When I do this, I get an error message saying:
CLIENT BUG DETECTED: STATUS on selected mailbox: INBOX
And then mutt loses the inbox. I can reopen it manually by going to
"change mailbox", then back to inbox. Surprisingly, the messages I
wanted to delete are actually gone by this point.
I have no idea what is causing this...does this seem to be a mutt
problem or a server problem?
Thanks,
Nik Reiman

I get the same message, but I don't lose the inbox. My mail server
had been upgraded recently, which is when (I think) the message
first started appearing - maybe I have a new IMAP server
that is pickier and doesn't like something mutt does that the old
server overlooked?

By the way, please try 1.3.20. Synchronisation is much better done in
that version of mutt, and it is very stable these days. Indeed for IMAP
1.3.20 is much more stable than 1.2.5.

Cool. This version seemed to solve this problem. Thanks. :)
Unfortunately, the new version has trouble parsing my .muttrc, but I can
deal with that for now.

imapd, whichever version comes with RH7.1.

I just installed 1.3.20, that works great. Hopefully, that will also stop
some random lockups I'd been noticing lately.
