Hello
I have an email listed in my Source/Trash folder that does not physically exist, and I cannot remove the (red) entry.
It's my fault: I installed GPG for a bit and then decided I didn't want it. Before I removed it however, someone sent me a signed email to which I replied.
The reply failed because I didn't have a signed key. I created a new unsigned email and replied, and then moved the "not signed" email to the trash.
Now it's stuck there. I looked at the trash via Webmail, and it's empty. I looked in the mailmate folders and found it in the local trash and so deleted it with the finder.
oops. The red-text listing for the email still appears in my /source/trash mailbox in Mailmate, and now I get a message telling me I have an Anti-Virus problem. It suggests I try /message/reset, but it's grayed out.
It appears that the message only exists in MailMate's internals somewhere, and I cannot find it.
So: two things
One: a PGP fail should not leave a message which cannot be deleted in the first place and
two: I likely made the situation worse with my mucking about...
but still and all, there should be -some- way to correct this and/or do a "force delete". At the very least, a way to rebuild the MM internals from what actually is in place on the server. Synchronize did not do it; reset could not be invoked.
Suggestions anyone?
TIA
