Re: IMAP problem

[eyang@xxxxxxxxx (Eric Yang)]

Yes, it's possible.  You can try to reconstruct __cache__ and __lock__ 
for your folders.
In __cache__, there should be a list of mail filenames in the current 
folder, for example:

1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0 512
2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0 512
3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0 512
4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0 512
5@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0 512
6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 0 512

Keep the next two set of numbers.

__lock__ files should be empty.  After this is done, you should flush 
out any existing setting from your mail clients, and download the 
emails from the server again.  When this is completed, move the mail to 
another local mail folder, and delete the current user on the Mail 
server.  Next, recreate the account again, and forward mails back to 
their original places.  Do not use Entourage with IMAP, it really mess 
up the IMAP account.

regards,
Eric
