What's wrong:
every folder except inbox gives me a "bad message list" error (true of
"folder" and "scan"; then I gave up
What should have happened:
I should have gotten ordinary messages about the number of messages or
the list of messages
Thank you for your bug report.
However, you probably would have been better off asking about this
problem in "olc" than you are sending it to bugs, because after some
investigation, I'm not sure that it is a bug, and I suspect olc would
have been able to help you with it.
As far as I can tell, the error message you got means that the
.mh_sequences file in one or more of your folders is corrupt in some
way. Since I can't read the contents of your Mail folders, I can't
find out any more than that.
If you are still having this problem, I suggest you ask olc about it
and let them know that it's probably a problem with your .mh_sequences
file, and they should be able to help. If they come to the conclusion
that it is a bug, and can't solve the problem, please feel free to
report it again.
