Mail stuck and the meaning of Repository 10/11 and 12/13
Second time James decided to hold on the mail - 35 entries - and not allow
POP3 clients from accessing them. I noticed that the files names
....REPOSIOTORY10 were the emails while .....REPOSITORY11 were the
"index"/data file.
There were also 12/13 pairs for email files.
What is the naming convention; what do the different numbers mean ??
Is there any way to have James regenerate these files ??

Simplify your life and switch to a db base repository. mySQL is well worth
the money ;)
These kinds of problems go away. Another added benefit is the fact that I
don't have to stop and restart the james process either. When it used the
filesystem, I could only handle a couple thousand emails before it would
start acting flakey. Ive been up and running for about 15 days now without
a glitch.
If you need help editing your config.xml to use a db, let me know.

What version of James? What version of Phoenix (if it isn't the one that
came with a packaged release of James)? These are generally critical, and
should be part of any bug report or related question. This sounds like an
older version of James. The file stores are provided by code from the
Avalon project.
Are you using file protocol for all of your stores? Are these inbox/
stores?

Hi,
I've never looked closely at this issue, but I believe that each repository
is given a numeric name suffix, there are two associated with each mail, a
filestore and an object store, these generally will have consecutive
numbers.
I don't know why James would re-number repositories, except perhaps in the
case where new repositories are created and a re-boot causes them to be
listed in a different order.
this would be BAD, and seems insane.
Armed with my wild guess you could try renaming dead mail to suit the
convention of "live" mail, shame windows makes wildcard re-naming so
difficult..
I will look into this for you, but subscribe to Peter's view that we're
stuck with this until we migrate to a new file repository format.
