Subject: 63 messages suddenly expunged (Was: no subject)

Dear pine users,

I suddenly saw the message '63 messages expunged from folder "INBOX"'
appearing... I'm not aware that I had deleted some messages, nor pressed
eXpunge, and wondered what messages I had lost... but while looking at the
log, it seems I actually did not loose any messages...? The number of
messages in my inbox now is 369.

So where comes this message of expunged 63 messages from?

Regards,

I'm not sure that anyone can tell you why your messages were supposedly
expunged, because you told us nothing else about your Pine session.

Sorry... I forgot to tell that I'm using Pine 4.56 on a linux box,
accessing an imap folder on the mail server.

Apart from that, I didn't do anything special...just suddenly saw the
message on the screen, but with no reason, as far as I can see...
Apparently, after reading the log, and knowing that the number of messages
was 369 afterwards, it should be quite clear that a 63 message expunge has
not happened... So why did I get that message?

What else information could I provide?

The log that you posted had *two* strange messages
- first that 63 new messages had been received and
only then the message you are mentioning, that 63
messages had been expunged.

> What else information could I provide?

What have you done to find out what were the 63
messages that you received?

Daniel,

You're right, it's probably the 63 new messages that has been expunged...
Could it be related to the new spam filter that my ISP just activated for
my account...?

> messages had been expunged.

If you look at his logs, what *I* think happened is that "Telephone
Answering" sender (I'm presuming this is some sort of automated telephone
thing that can send E-mail, Like Toshiba's "Stratus") hiccuped and
accidentally sent 63 bogus(?) messages, then perhaps the admin realized
the mistake and wiped 'em from the spool file.
