Why did Thunderbird move Inbox emails to subfolder unsuccessfully? I have a different number of emails now in both folders

I highlighted all Inbox emails and moved them to another folder (lets call it inbox2). It didn't work as intended. I'm using IMAP.



The items seemed to be moving but mid transfer I noticed my Inbox retrieving emails from the server again. Now, all transfers have completed and both folders do not even have the same number of emails. inbox2 has less than my inbox; I have no idea how this can be. Both mailboxes have the first and most recent emails - it has nothing to do with timestamps.



I'm worried some emails may have been moved to inbox2 and not be in inbox. I'm also worried some may not have moved to inbox2 and may still be in inbox. Is it also possible some emails got corrupted? Thunderbird was unresponsive but I let it carry out its operations without interruption.



Why did this happen? I assumed it would be as simple and quick as when you cut and paste files. Instead, the process took well over an hour or even two. I have a strong and stable network connection and I did not close Thunderbird so I do not think corruption could have occurred (Whilst I am very concerned, I cannot imagine any emails just vanished), though I also didn't expect this result. Thunderbird did become unresponsive at times but I did not interrupt it and let it finish - unsuccessfully.



Edit: I'm using Outlook. And did not receive any new emails

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
