Today I noticed something strange (or rather my boss did, it's his mail). In $mailroot/Users/myboss/Mail/Companies/ there are folders from A to Z with mail from companies starting with each letter. We noticed that in the E folder, there is suddenly nothing! And I mean nothing, not even . and ..!
See? It's not there? Yet the first ls reports 60 items in folder E. Since this means mail from 58 companies, we really need to get it back. Anyone know what's going on here?
Code:
[server:myboss/Mail/Companies] root# ls -al
total 0
