One User Suddendly Can't Get Mail
First, I've been successfully using James for about a week now and I
really like it. Thanks to all those who have contributed to its success.
My problem though is, I have 7 users set up and they all can send and
receive mail ok. Suddenly, however, one of the users can not receive
mail (send still works). The mail shows up in the
james/var/mail/inboxes/theUser, but POP no longer retrieves it. All
other user's mail can be retrieved ok and they are all coming from the
same machine using Netscape.
I tried stopping & restarting James and Netscape, but to no avail.
Any idea how I can get this fixed?
PS: I deleted some of the mail from this box after reviewing it via a
text editor. Is that OK?
TIA

Don,
For future reference, if you turn on DEBUG for the POP3 server, you can see
the message ordinal. With JDBC that makes it easy. With a file system
repository, it isn't as easy. We might want to add a log at debug level to
identify each message being sent by its mail id (or Message-ID).

I wound up deleting all the messages and now it works again.
Unfortunately, I couldn't identify the offending one.

Yeah its probably one particular mail choking james or the client, try moving them aside and re-introducing them a few at a time to see if you can sinlge out The One. Then send it to us. :-)

telnet into the user's mailbox by hand, and try retrieving mail by hand. If
you can retrieve all e-mails, then turn on DEBUG for the POP3 server and
watch their client pull mail. You'll likely see the client stop pulling
mail on a particular message.
I recently ran into a similar issue where a message was causing mozilla mail
to fail for one of our users. Deleting that specific message by hand took
care of the problem.
