This one really has me snowed. I use fetchmail to d/l mail and route
it through procmail with mailstat to track how many msgs are in what
mailbox. For a while now I've noticed a discrepancy between the number
shown in mailstat and the number in my mailboxes. Usually it's just a
few msgs but this morning the difference was dramatic. Such as:

                            mailstat              msgs in
                             shows                mailbox
sounder.......................23.....................3
/var/mai/holtzm...............29....................14
INCOMING.......................6.....................3
ubuntu-users..................27....................12

My procmail log agrees with mailstat. Unfortunately I didn't have
verbose logging turned on, since rectified so I may know more next
time. It doesn't seem to be an isp, fetchmail, or procmail problem.
Right now I have no idea where to start troubleshooting. Searching on
"lost email" turned up nothing close.

Hmmm?  What is your procmail recipe?  Filtering? 
Hard to evaluate without that?

You can also verify via debug level?

Might just post your reciple for us to scope?



If anyone can solve this, the beer is on me (that ought to get some
action -:))
