I don't use nnmaildir myself, and I'm not quite sure that I know how it
works, but I've had a look over the patch, and it looks fine to me.

Perhaps somebody on the ding mailing list (Cc'd) has any input?

Good Morning,

I'm new here. I tried Magnus' patch because I lost a lot of mails with
offlineimap (v6.5.4-1) and Gnus 5.13.

I can't say anything about the code itself (I don't write Lisp code).

I tried the patch from Magnus branch (actually the whole branch). And
it did not change anything: there were still a lot of lost mails!
Additionally Gnus had problems finding mails it renamed. At this point
I was unable to rescan the inbox or leave it.


Best regards,
Wolfgang

Could you run "ls -lR" in your maildir directory and send me the output?
I suspect nnmaildir might choke on some strange filenames...

Regards,
Magnus

O.K. See the attached file. You can see a lot of files with a size of
1 Byte...

BTW, because of the troubles (its my office system) I switched to a
local IMAP server.


Regards,
Wolfgang
