Hi,

I would like to request help understanding how some email went missing.

exim's log shows the missing pieces going into maildir:
2008-08-26 18:23:08 1KY7sS-0003mR-Be => me <myaddress> R=local_us er T=maildir_home

fetchmail should have retrieved the mail:
poll myserver proto imap
user "me", with password "secret", is "me" here, ssl

The mail log shows emails being retrieved and flushed one by one:
Aug 28 00:17:38 algol fetchmail[2677]: reading message me@myserver:1
205 of 1231 (804 header octets) (853 body octets) flushed

Only I ended up missing a number of emails.

Where could the weak link be?

Maybe fetchmail? Try getmail (the config is very easy to write), it
would rather get the same mail twice than loose it.

Regards,
Andrei
