Greetings all,
as per other thread, I needed a local copy of the provider's server for archiving. Eventually, I settled on isync and downloaded the e-mail messages. To my surprise, I found messages more than a year old that I distinctly remember as either deleting or sent automatically to a trash by a filter. When I checked via the web interface these messages were not present.
Since the web interface does not show the total number of messages, I installed Thunderbird downloaded and counted the messages. To my surprise, the number of messages reported by Thunderbird was order of magnitude less than the number of messages downloaded by isync, the messages in Thunderbird matching the messages of the web interface.
I considered a possible error, so I repeated the experiment with the same result (apart of the number of messages since some additional e-mail arrived in-between).
Am I missing anything obvious? Anybody has an explanation?
Kindest regards,
M
