Description

I received several hundred of the following messages in my mailstore log and lost entire inboxes at the same time:

04/05/05 11:08:30 DEBUG mailstore: Exception retrieving mail:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception caught while retrieving an
object, cause: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError, so we're deleting it... good
riddance!

I'm guessing whoever was checking their email at this time lost all their mail.

I was also asked to remind you to change your error message. I must say, I laughed after reading "good riddance" in regard to all of these valid emails.
