Sylpheed's adding garbage to my remote mail spool.
I use sylpheed both at home and at work. This means that my email at
work is set up in an MH-style format. From home, I use sylpheed's IMAP
capabilities to access my email at work. I realize that IMAP was not
ever intended for serving MH style mail setups (it's really a task
better suited to NFS), but it works (after a fashion).
Anyway, sylpheed (at home, my Debian box) has started doing this thing
that it's adding one of those bogus "DO NOT DELETE THIS MESSAGE" emails
like mozilla mail uses as a place-holder for mail folders to my mail
spool on the remote (work) machine. So when I log into a work machine,
I keep getting "You have mail." messages, even though the only message
there is the bogus one that sylpheed is putting there. Also, when I
'inc' my mail to my inbox first thing at work the next day, I have one
of those bogus messages to deal with.
It appears that sylpheed is adding this message at the termination of
the IMAP session. This seems to be a fairly new behavior, as I have not
noticed it before.
Does anybody know what's going on and how to make it stop?
Thanks.
