Is loss of mail possible after no disk space exception

[Jan Korger <jan.korger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I'm running offlineimap repeatedly from a shell script. From logged
offlineimap output, I know that I temporarily run out of disk space
for my home dir:

[Tue Jul 12 00:07:00 CEST 2005] running offlineimap
Thread 'Folder sync unikn[INBOX]' terminated with exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):

[...]

[Tue Jul 12 00:11:05 CEST 2005] running offlineimap
[Tue Jul 12 00:11:20 CEST 2005] offlineimap exits with status 0


What puzzles me is that there are no new messages in unikn[INBOX] nor
in any other mailbox. I hope offlineimap only tried to write an
internal status file here -- as suggest by the traceback shown -- not
a message. Could someone please comment on this.

Thanks

Jan
