fetchmail release 6.3.26+RPA+SDPS+SSL-SSLv2-SSLv3+OPIE+NLS FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p6 GENERIC amd64 The following entries have started appearing in my fetchmail log file: fetchmail: 1 message for XX...@ai... at imap.aim.com. fetchmail: reading message XX...@ai...@internal-aol.imap.mail.g03.yahoodns.net:1 of 1 (4137 header octets) (54943 body octets) flushed fetchmail: mail expunge mismatch (0 actual != 1 expected) fetchmail: client/server synchronization error while fetching from XX...@ai...@imap.aim.com fetchmail: Query status=7 (ERROR) This appears every time fetchmail runs. It had worked correctly previously and there have been no changes to the system that I am aware of. I visited the site and deleted any files that were present. At that time, there were none. Can any one tell me what is causing this problem? It appears to be localized to AOL. Thanks! -- Jerry |

Some ISP's are serving their imap using customers from the same filesystem that also serves up pop3 to fetchmail, and because the customer may switch depending on the machine, they have disabled the fetchmail issued DELE. So I log in with a browser and use it to clean house at the ISP. Sounds like AOL has figured out yet another way to annoy their pop3 customers with phony error msgs. I use fetchmail with kmail here, and kmail will occasionally get its indices out of synch, so I had to use t-bird in imap mode for about a day, and boy did I get an education on how NOT to do email. I suppose one could learn to live with it, but imap=spit to me. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Actually, there were no emails or Spam shown in any folders. I did the run twice to insure it was completely sanitized. Unfortunately, the problem still exists. My next move is to try and contact technical support at AOL and see what they have to say. I know it is a waste of time because either, 1) I will never get to actually speak to a rep 2) They will inevitably blame it on me. -- Jerry |

Probably, but listen carefully for clues as to how to fix it. The tech doesn't want 100k people calling him an idiot so he will generally relate a fix. Pay attention. The idiot is on occasion, looking back at one in the mirror. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Sorry, but I have been on vacation fr a week, I just checked the logs, and that message sequence is still evident; however, no mail is being lost, so I think it is just some sort of harmless error or warning message. If I get a chance in the next week or so, I will put fetchmail into debug mode and see if I can isolate the problem. I could probably set up another "dummy" account and see if it exhibits the same problem. If it does, I could just give you access to it so you could diagnose the problem yourself. That would probably be quicker. -- Jerry |
