[imapfilter-devel] Mails not being deleted or deleted on move

[Matt Bradbury]

Figured it out.

It had nothing to do with the expunge option.  There were hung imapd
processes on the server that had a lock on my inbox.  I could read items out
of the inbox and copy them, but the new imap process couldn't get the lock
from the old one to delete messages.

Thanks for the ideas and the location of the debug output which even had the
PID of the hung processes.

-Matt

ps.  The debug output location should be configurable on the command-line.
The -l option doesn't seem to do anything.
