I have a problem with dxmail where I can't see any of my messages
in my inbox.
I am running on a DECstation 3100 Ultrix 2.1 (Rev 14) and my system
crashed while reading mail. When I rebooted I could see all the
messages in all folders except my inbox. When I do a
ls ~kelley/Mail/inbox
all the files are there... is there anyway that I can fix a file
somewhere so that I can see my inbox again. When new mail is sent
to me and I click to read it it also does not appear.
Help

rm Mail/inbox/.decxmailcache Or select rescan folder from the maintainance menu, | |||||
| 2054.2 | still have the problem | MARX::KELLEY | Wed Jan 17 1990 17:41 | 18 | |
Tried both and didn't neither worked...
I do see a new .decxmailcache in the directory after doing these steps.
I also see a file called Mail/inbox/.mh_sequences which looks as follows
cur: 862
temp: 153 220-221 304 404 716 759 769 773 800 821
unseen: 517-532 534-537 546-552 556 593-597 620-632 635-637 blah
blah...
When I do the rescan folder it just flashes
Folder:inbox Sequence: all 0 messages
Any other suggestion

| 2054.3 | Try removing the .mh_sequences | OPHION::WEISSMAN | Wed Jan 31 1990 21:23 | 14 | |
Try rm ~/Mail/inbox/.mh_sequences and then select "Rescan folder" from the Maintenence menu. (There is a known bug in mh which can put junk in the .mh_sequences file. This causes all sorts of problems.) Note that doing this will lose information about whatever sequences you may have defined in your inbox. In particular, all of the message will be marked as seen; none of the messages will have the little "front-of-the-envelope" icon. Most people don't seem to care about that, anyway. - Terry | |||||
