I usually have dtmail running all the time. Yesterday I hadn't checked mail for about two hours, and when I went to read mail, the icon had disappeared. So I brought it up again, and the mailbox was empty. I found out later that all mail was in $HOME/INBOX. Also found /tmp/dtmail.dump: --------------------- pid=588 Mon Feb 17 13:21:38 1997 RFCMailBox::NewMailEvent(): File shrunk! 0 < 1017871 and already_locked is FALS E --------------------- Mappings = 5 Map Entries: map[0]: map_region = 0x20000070000, map_size = 0x000f2000(00991232) --> map_region (976768 bytes at 0x20000070000): $HOME/.dt/errorlog doesn't have any dtmail related messages. Does anyone know what happened here, and how the mail moved to $HOME/INBOX? Thanks! -Pradnya-

The only think I can think of happend was that mail was read from another user agent. Did you happen to run Netscape, DxMail, or any other user agent that will retrieve mail and store it else where? DtMail does not store messages in $HOME/INBOX. From your messages it appears that another process read the mail out of spool and zeroe'd the file, hence DtMail died. One thing you cannot do is read mail from your spool file while dtmail has this file opened. Fernando [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||

Yes, I did send mail from netscape, so that must be it. Thank you for solving the puzzle! -Pradnya- | |||||
