Hi Colin,

This is getting weirder...  via openssl, simply did DELE 155 + QUIT, then
connected again to verify 155 was gone...  it was... but now, CM tries to
DELE 1-18 (was 17) and RETR 155 still fails...  

I saved 155; but this turn of events appears to mean the message content
is likely not the problem...  :(

To be sure, I deleted the message now in the 155 position and repeated
everything...  CM still tries to DELE 1-18 and RETR 155 fails again...

To be sure, I'm rebuilding CM...    ARGH!!!!  I think I got caught in a
build race condition...

I started my claws_update script, then triggered an update of RPMs:
May  5 12:42:47 hg drakrpm-update[1189]: [RPM] libopenssl-engines1.0.0-1.0.1e-8.5.mga4.i586 installed
May  5 12:42:48 hg drakrpm-update[1189]: [RPM] libopenssl1.0.0-1.0.1e-8.5.mga4.i586 installed
May  5 12:42:49 hg drakrpm-update[1189]: [RPM] libopenssl-engines1.0.0-1.0.1e-8.4.mga4.i586 removed
May  5 12:42:49 hg drakrpm-update[1189]: [RPM] libopenssl1.0.0-1.0.1e-8.4.mga4.i586 removed
which happened in the middle of the CM build...

Nope...  while this was worth investigating, a rebuild didn't solve the
problem...  So I'm being careful not to restart this instance or I may
not be able to communicate with you, though I could use the web
interface.
