URGENT pop3 problem

Post by siteffect »

We have a big issue with the latest version of mailenable 9.72 (our other mailserver version 9.60 does not have this issue)
the _index.xml file is not recreated after a pop mailbox access.
Situation...
- the mailbox has 2 messages which are shown in the _index.xml file and in the directory inbox on the server
- we access the mailbox and delete 1 message. the file is deleted, but the _index.xml file is not updated.
- when we now login to the webmail, we still see the 2 messages and when clicking on the (previously deleted) message it displays 'message could not be retrieved'
- when we delete in webmail, the _index.xml file is recreated and all is well.
- this problem occurs only when users are connecting through POP3
- the problem is also that in this case the mailbox used space is not updated so mailboxes sizes are wrongly calculated !

we think it has something to do with the latest fix in 9.72
FIX: POP service may crash if inbox index file contains duplicates

Can this please be fixed as soon as possible ???

Hi,

Im unable to reproduce the behavior in 9.72. What email client are you using to access the mailbox via POP? Perhaps lodge a support ticket via the MailEnable support form below under "Upgrade" and provide server access so that a technician can check further.

good morning,
it is email client independent, even with a normal telnet session on the server we are having the problem.
We connect to the mailbox via telnet on the server.
we delete a message, we quit, on that point the EML message is deleted, but the _index.xml file is not changing date and time.
When we now connect via webmail, the message is still there but when accessing it we get a popup saying the message can not be retreived.
Manually deleting the _index.xml file, refreshing the webmail client (so the _index.xml) is re-created) solves the problem.
it really just looks like there is no refresh of the _index.xml file....
