Help → IMAP being stubborn
I recently switched from a POP account to IMAP and set up POPFile's IMAP module to watch folder INBOX and move spam to folder Junk. It's worked fine until today, when it reclassified a ham message to spam ... eight times and counting. I keep moving it back to INBOX, which I thought would retrain POPFile. POPFile (1.0.1) keeps moving it back to Junk. Since messages in the IMAP account don't show up in the History tab, I can't reclassify manually and I can't see why the message is being misclassified. I added Junk as a watched folder (although I think this is redundant), to no avail.
Is there a way to reclassify this message as ham? Is there a way to have messages on the IMAP server listed in the History tab?
Thanks,
Paul

IMAP messages do show up on the history tab. If that is not the case for you, something is wrong. But who is moving this message then? One possibility is that POPFile is not able to write its database file (and thus its history) and so it keeps moving the message because it cannot remember that it already did. Depending on your operating system, the database will have a different location. If you can find it, please check the permissions.

Message #1144
This copy of POPFile is running on Ubuntu, and all files were owned by root. Stopping POPFile and restarting it as root fixed the problem with no history, which in turn allowed me to manually reclassify the problem message and one other that came in since my first post. I've since chown'ed all the files to my account. I'm still not sure why POPFile did not reclassify the problem message after seeing it moved back the inbox -- that seemed to be working with other messages I had to reclassify. If it doesn't repeat, I'll assume it tied in to the ownership issue.
Thanks,
Paul
