Messages are stored in the maildir with files names considing of a number followed by a trailing dot. For example '12345,' My problem is that when rsync copies the files from the maildir to the backup device the file names that it creates on the target lack the tailing dot. So the message '12345.' becomes '12345' on the target. I have not experienced this behaviour before. The transfer command I used is: rsync \ --copy-links \ --no-group \ --no-perms \ --progress \ --protect-args \ --modify-window=1 \ --recursive \ --times \ --update \ --verbose \ /home/byrnejb_hll/Documents/Personal/IMAP/byrnejb_hll \ /media/KINGSTON/vhost04/byrnejb_hll/Documents/Personal/IMAP/byrnejb_hll If I add a --delete-before option to the command then all of the messages files without trailing dots are deleted and then recreated. Therefore there is no gain in transfer speed since the existing files are not recognised by rsync as being the same as it is about to create on transfer. The progress messages look like this: byrnejb_hll/INBOX^Trash/206. 55,961 100% 100.83kB/s 0:00:00 (xfr#16261, ir-chk=9826/26446) So the source file is recognised as having a trailing dot but the resulting target file does not have it. Is there some switch required to handle this? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
