maildir issue encountered with an imap account. This is a tiny, not normally logged in account (luwsm/not gmail) that I had set to use maildir for testing purposes. I do not recall when I changed the account to maildir - but it was a while ago. A recently noticed the entire drafts folder (3 messages) was redownloading every minute. I do not know when this behavior started nor do I know what precipitated it. My working theory is perhaps an addon induced it. aceman and I discussed on 5/29. As a result I unsubscribed the drafts folder, and resubscribed. Things returned to "normal". I ended up with a Drafts-2 directory with cur and tmp. There is also a Drafts-2.msf dated 5/29/2016. Reconstructing from IRC conversation and the account directory which I copied before doing the unsubscribe ... Files and modified dates Drafts.msf 2k 6/13/2015 Drafts-1 0 6/20/2015 (NOTE THE YEAR) Drafts-1.msf 2k 5/30/2016 (per the COPY of the directory) NO Drafts-1 directory for maildir Questions: - Was it in this state from day 1 when I changed the account to maildir? - If not, how did directory get in this state? - Might some other maildir users have similar issue? - Is it a bug that we don't detect this state?

I haven't seen this since. But still can't explain why the problem occurred - so leaving bug open
