+Title: Mu 1.7.23 Causing Maildir Corruption
+Author: Matthew Smith <matthew@gentoo.org>
+Posted: 2022-06-26
+Revision: 1
+News-Item-Format: 2.0
+Display-If-Installed: net-mail/mu-1.7.23
+
+Development versions of mu between 1.7.18 and 1.7.25 have a bug causing +mail file names to sometimes get mangled after moving messages between +directories. Symptoms include unread messages never being marked as
+read.
+
+Users can check for corruption by checking to see if the following
+command produces any output:
+
+ find ~/Maildir -name '*:2,*:*'
+
+Users can correct the corruption by running the following commands:
+
+ find ~/Maildir -name '*:2,*:*' |
+ sed "s/\(\([^:]*\)\(:2,\)\{1,\}\(:2,.*$\)\)/mv '\0' '\2\4'/" \
+ > rename.sh
+ # review rename.sh
+ sh rename.sh
+
