For anyone else who was affected by this regression, here's how I made sure that my sent mails were being backed up on my email server.
First, I examined the directory into which sent mail was erroneously being moved, which on my machine was ~/.local/share/mail/cur/
, to see how far back the sent emails were misplaced. In my case, all sent emails in April ended up there and were therefore not being backed up to my webmail server.
Then, I performed a search in mu4e
to match those emails. Using my saved sent mail maildir
bookmarks wouldn't work because the sent mails were not in the correct location. In my case, the from:joseph
search matched the misplaced mail.
Then, with mu4e-refile-folder
set to something like this...
(lambda (msg)
(cond
((and-let* ((from (mu4e-message-sent-by-me msg))
((string-suffix-p "@my-domain-1.org" (plist-get from :email)))))
"/my-domain-1/Sent")
((and-let* ((from (mu4e-message-sent-by-me msg))
((string-suffix-p "@my-domain-2.org" (plist-get from :email)))))
"/my-domain-2/Sent")))
...I marked all of the mail sent by any of my email addresses in April, then pressed r x y
to refile them all into their correct locations.
To confirm that the refiling worked, I reverted the Dired buffer showing ~/.local/share/mail/cur/
to see that it was empty (all of the files had been moved out of there). Finally, I ran mu4e-update-mail-and-index
before using my email server's webmail client to check that the sent mails were now backed up to the server. 🎉
Ah, good catch!
I've pushed the changes. Feel free to squash merge if you like. Thank you!!
Okay, I'll merge it now, thanks! I'll tweak it bit later, but anyway the eternal glory goes to you for fixing the problem!
Thank you!!
The second commit is just a stylistic change. If
pcase-exhaustive
is not preferred in this case, I'd be curious to hear why.Thank you for all your work on
mu4e
